Installation Guide

– 4 –

For installations that are any combination of decks, walls, and pony walls, use the same methods to determine

critical heights. Remember that all supports must be at the same height and must establish a plane that is level

front to back and side to side.

4. HOT WATER HEATER: As a rule of thumb, the capacity of the hot water heater needs to be at least 75% of the

capacity of the whirlpool tub. Formula = capacity x (2/3)

INSTALLING THE TUB

The installation of the tub/whirlpool tub must meet all applicable regulations and codes. Access must be provided for

future service or removal of the pump, control boxes and wiring, without removing the tub or damaging the building

structure or nish. An access panel at least 14" high by 16" wide must be located directly in front of the pump, control

boxes or wiring. The optional Hydro Systems skirt with removable panel will satisfy this requirement. Minimum

clearance in front of any panel should be 30"

IMPORTANT - Never move or lift the tub by the pipes or other plumbing system components.

Move or lift the tub by the deck or from under the bottom only.

1. READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS before you begin the installation.

2. INSPECT THE TUB before you begin the installation. Inspect the following:

•

Is it the correct model? The corect size? The correct color?

•

If options or upgrades were ordered, are they complete and correct?

•

If the tub was ordered with components in non-standard locations, check to make sure they all are in their correct

locations.

•

Check all components to make sure no damage occurred during shipping.

•

For Tubs with Tile Flange inspect for positive draft to bathing well

DO NOT INSTALL THE TUB if any of the above is not correct.

Contact the dealer where the bathtub was purchased or call Hydro Systems directly at 661-775-0686.

You will need to know the bathtub serial number attached to your warranty card

and also located on the back side of the bathtub when contacting Hydro Systems.
