Plumbing Connections
All plumbing connections should be made by a qualified, licensed plumber in accordance with local
plumbing and building codes.
Hot and Cold Water Supply Lines
Connect 1/2” ID supply tubes to a fresh water source. Shut-off valves should be utilized.
Electrical Connections
The Foot spa must be plugged into a GFCI protected outlet, installed by a licensed electrician.
Testing the Foot spa
Clean the tub and fill with water to the wave-mark (water level) on the wall of the tub.
When the tub is filled with water, turn the switch on the front of the pedicure spa to activate the
whirlpool pump. Water should be coming out of the jets and the Air Bleed spout. Check for whirlpool
leaks. After checking under the tub for leaks, use the same switch to turn the whirlpool pump off
and drain the tub basin by opening the overflow/waste control handle and turning on the Power
Drain Pump if installed.
