CirculatingPump
If a circulating pump is fitted there will be two small holes at the end of the bath. The upper hole is the inlet and                        
sucks the water in and then pushes it out the lower outlet hole across the heating elements under the tray. Ensure                    
before the bath is ever turned on that the upper inlet holes are well covered at all times. Test the water pump is                      
circulating with your finger and if not you will need to push some water into the inlet hole using a hose or similar to                       
