Estate Air-Whirlpool Owner's Manual & Installation Guide

 PRE-INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

PLEASE NOTE: THE MANUFACTURER ACCEPTS A +3/8” VARIANCE. THERE ARE VARIATIONS ON EACH TUB AND 

SPECIFICATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AS WE IMPROVE UPON OUR PRODUCT AS REQUIRED.

THE DIMENSIONS NEEDED FOR SITE PREPARATION AND STRUCTURE BUILDINGS SHOULD BE MEASURED FROM 

THE TUB; AQUATIC, ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR PREPARATORY WORK.

Note: A good knowledge of construction techniques, plumbing and electrical installation according to codes are  

required for proper installation. We recommend that a qualified licensed contractor perform the installation of all 

Aquatic products. Our warranty does not cover improper installation related problems.

1.  Immediately upon receiving your Aquatic air-whirlpool bath, inspect it thoroughly for freight damage. If necessary, 

contact your dealer/distributor immediately (your dealer/distributor must contact Aquatic, within 24 hours of receiving 

unit to file a claim.) Should inspection indicate any damage, do not install the bath.

2.  All baths are filled with water and operated in our manufacturing facility prior to shipment. Inspectors ensure watertight 

operation, however, rough handling may cause leaks which may be detected prior to installation.

DAMAGE OR DEFECT TO THE FINISH CLAIMED AFTER THE BATH IS INSTALLED 

IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.

To inspect:

1.  Place the tub in an area where it may be drained after testing.

2.  Fill the tub with hot water (approximately 100

o

 F) to the overflow and allow to stand for a few minutes. Carefully 

inspect all fittings and connections for leaks.

3.  Plug in pump and blower cords and run pump for 10 minutes.

4.  With the pump running, turn on the blower. Check all functions.

5.  Inspect the tub completely. Any defect must be reported to Aquatic, prior to installation in order to have it covered by 

warranty. Should inspection indicate any damage, do not install the bath.

6.  Check to ensure that your installation will conform to all applicable codes and secure necessary permits. All electrical 

and plumbing connections should be made by qualified electricians and plumbers.

DAMAGE OR LEAKS CLAIMED AFTER THE BATH IS INSTALLED ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.

WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS DURING INSTALLATION  

WILL RESULT IN TERMINATION OF THE WARRANTY: 

Do not lift the tub by any portion of the plumbing or pump. 

Do not stand in the tub during construction.

DO NOT MAKE ANY ALTERATIONS, ADDITIONS, OR DELETIONS TO THE 

WHIRLPOOL SYSTEM, PUMP OR BATH.

WARNING:

 Whirlpool pump and piping are factory assembled. Relocation of pump or other modifications could ad-

versely affect the performance and safe operation of this air-whirlpool. Aquatic, shall not be liable under its warranty or 

otherwise for personal injury or damage caused by any such unauthorized modification.

QUIETNESS OF OPERATION:

 Aquatic has engineered their whirlpool baths from base to lip to ensure quality, value, 

functional design, and maximum bathing comfort. However, installation is accountable for as much as 50% of a tub’s 

operating quietness. Please ensure the following:

•  The floor structure is adequate to support the installation.

•   For quieter operation and heat retention conservation, the walls surrounding the air-whirlpool may be insulated.

•  Insulate the tub surround. Do not allow any insulation to come within 3 feet of the blower and pump. The area 

around the blower and pump must be clean and free of any foreign matter.

•   Leave 1/8” to 3/16” gap between tub lip and surround.
