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 problems.

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

distributor immediately (your 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 to the overflow and allow to stand for a few minutes. Carefully inspect all fittings and connections for leaks.

3. Plug in blower control box and run blower for 10 minutes.

4. 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 or leaks, do not install the bath.

5. 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 blower.

Do not stand in the tub during construction.

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

AIR BATH SYSTEM BLOWER OR BATH.

QUIETNESS OF OPERATION

Aquatic has engineered their air 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 fol-

lowing:

•   The floor structure is adequate to support the installation.
•   For quieter operation and heat retention conservation, the walls surrounding the air bath may be insulated.*
•  Insulate the tub surround.* Do not allow any insulation to come within 3 feet of the blower. The area around the

blower must be clean and free of any foreign matter.

• Leave 1/8” to 3/16” gap between tub lip and surround.*
• Spread a bed of cement mortar on the floor or subfloor under the air bath to reduce vibration and noise.*
*Not required on freestanding models.
