Protecting the Bath
Cover and protect the bath shell and fixtures from scratches or other damages during the installation
and tests. Remove the access panels when moving the Walk in Bath and always lift the bathtub from
the frame.
Electrical
The unit MUST be connected to a circuit protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
provided and installed by a licensed electrician and tested periodically (refer to instructions provided
by GFCI manufacturer). Operating the pumps without first filling the bath to above the jets can cause
permanent damage to your equipment. Push the GFCI "test" button into "reset" mode. If the GFCI fails
to operate in this manner, there is a ground current flow or a device malfunction, indicating the
possibility of electrical shock. If this occurs, turn OFF the power and do not use the bathtub until the
source of the problem has been identified and corrected.
Water Test
It is important to test that the Hydro and Air Pumps are functioning properly before final in-wall
installation to avoid unnecessary repairs or removal.
A. Place the tub on a completely flat surface in an area where it may be drained after testing.
B. Using a clean rag and warm water wipe down seal to insure it is free of debris.
C. Seal the drains (this can be done with tape) and fill the tub to at least three inches above the
highest jet, or to the bottom of the grab bar if no jets are present.
D. Allow the water to stand in tub for 30 minutes and then inspect all plumbing and seals for leaks.
E. Using appropriately rated three-prong extension cords, all plugged in to separate outlets, operate
all electrical components (air blower, water pump, and heater if applicable) for another 30 minutes
and inspect for leaks again. Inspect the unions around the pump and heater.
F. If a leak persists at a union after tightening, it may have been over-tightened or might have a
displaced O-ring. Disassemble it and make sure the O-ring was seated properly. Do the same if a leak
persists at the heater. Verify that the heater threads match the pipe threads.
