Skirt Installation Procedures
Most (not all) Aquatic integrally skirted whirlpools have color matching removable panels for alcove and corner
installations. All integrally skirted units
MUST BE INSTALLED BEFORE
the finished floor and wall materials are installed.
The skirt can be used as an access panel to the pump and controls, and is designed to have the finished wall
materials butt up to the acrylic skirt frame and allows installation clearances for baseboard heaters and floor
materials.
To remove skirt panel:
Simply pry loose at the top corners and pull outward (away from frame).
To reinstall skirt panel:
Simply set panel in frame (bottom side first) and push forward. Lightly depress the tabs on
the top of the panel while pushing forward until the panel snaps into its frame.
IMPORTANT:
Before installation of the skirt, fill the unit and test the whirlpool system and drain waste for leaks. Test the
whirlpool system for proper operation.
