Installation Sheet

Additional instuctions for tubs equipped with "Air Massage Elite" air bath package –

This package includes LED Lights and additional air jets. This system includes a control box that is

located with the remote mounted blower. The control box is connected to the air blower and does not

require an additional electrical outlet. In addition to the air hose, there are three electrical connections

between the tub and the blower. The LED Lights are operated by the same keypad as the air bath.

Remote Blower Locations – There are several locations where the blower can be located. There must

be a GFCI electrical outlet within 2 feet of the blower. The blower is approximately 12 inches long and 7

inches in diameter. Substantial ventilation is required to keep the blower from overheating and to supply

the large volume of air being sent to the tub. 2 cubic feet of space, along with an opening of 1" x 4" for

circulation is recommended. Never wrap insulation around the blower as this will cause the equipment

to fail. The best location is directly below the tub between the floor joists. This location keeps the dis-

tance short and offers easy access from below. If the room below has a finished ceiling, there are many

fixtures such as HVAC cold air returns that can be used to camouflage the access panel in the ceiling.

To reduce noise, we suggest using a cold air return designed to house a furnace filter. Use an acoustic

ceiling tile trimmed to fit in place of the filter. Other possible locations include an adjacent closet or van-

ity. Every home is different and there may be other desirable locations. Keep in mind that the blower

must be accessible for any future servicing and kept in a climate controlled environment. MTI’s blower

box, built of hardwood and available in several finishes, is another option for hiding the blower.

Note: Pipe insulation may be used on the air hose to help retain the warmth from the blower. Do

not use insulation within 8" of the blower. The blower needs sufficient air space surrounding it

for circulation. The blower requires a separate 110VAC, 15 amp GFCI circuit.
