Whirlpool installation

All Riho Whirlpool baths are made of acrylic (see description: acrylic baths) and equipped with a Whirlpool system of the
customer's choice.
Please refer to the Riho price lists for details of all options.
1.3

Delivery

Generally, all whirlpool systems are fully installed, functionally tested and packed.
ATTENTION:
Before installation remove the cardboard packaging and the foil to check the bath for damage, as well as material
and/or manufacturing defects. Protect the bathtub properly during installation (e.g. cardboard, blanket, bubble
foil, ...). After installation, RIHO can only give a guarantee on hidden material defects.
WARNING:
Make sure chrome parts don't come into contact with materials or water used to remove building materials, such
as mortar, grout or tile adhesive, because of possible chemical components in the composition which can
damage the chrome surface.

Pre-installation actions

Before connecting the bathtub, it must be installed:
- Ventilation grid for the motor(s) of at least an effective surface of 100cm² for each Hydro or Aero system and
200cm² for combined systems Hydro/Aero.
- It is recommended to install 2nd ventilation grid for natural ventilation (to the extent possible, they should be
placed as far apart as possible). Both grids together have then at least 200cm².
- Inspection hatch(es) of at least 40 x 50cm for service access (at least to the motors). In front of the openings, a
space of at least 50 cm width must be freely accessible for access to the technique - see Figure 5. Riho
recommends that an inspection hatch should be placed near the overflow opening.
- Hot and cold water supply.
- Water drain
- Electrical connection, one group of 3x2,5 mm²; 230/50Hz
- Electrical connection, two groups of 3x2,5 mm ; 230/50Hz (or one group of 5x2,5 mm2) for a two hydromotor
system
- Potential difference equalization 4-6 mm² earth connection to whirlpool frame.
- Fixed connection to circuit-breaker with disconnection options (e.g. switch with status indication).
Before installing the bathtub, pay attention to the following:
- Verify that the whirlpool is not damaged before installation. After installation, the warranty applies only to
hidden defects. The cost of dismantling the whirlpool will not be paid in case of defects found after installation.
- Do not use pipes, hoses or nozzles installed to handle tubs during transport and installation.
- Check the tightness of all connections on the bathtub before installation.
- The whirlpool must not touch the walls to prevent engine vibrations. Between the tub and the wall, it is
recommended to apply an insulating tape for noise reduction.
- When fixing the cover panels, take care of the height of the panel relative to the bottom edge of the bathtub.
Because of ventilation, the panel must be positioned at least 5 mm above the floor.
NOTICE:
Cover panels must be installed in such a way that the space under the bathtub meets ZONE 3 criteria, see
Chapter 1.1, ie. so that the space under the bathtub is not accessible without using the tool!
