ELECTRICAL CONNECTION:

If the pump and/or is in the standard location, it is plugged into the control box. So are all accessories. Check all connec-

tions. Make sure the bolts have been removed that hold the pump to the pump platform and plug the control box pigtail 

into the home’s dedicated GFCI.

If the tub was ordered with the pump in a remote location, plug the pump into the control box. Plug all accessories into

the control box. Check all connections and plug the control box into the home’s dedicated GFCI.

FINAL CLEANUP

DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS TO CLEAN THE BATHTUB.

 They may scratch or mar the surface. Liquid soap  

or a cleaner intended for fiberglass bathtubs should be used. Please refer to the USER CARE AND MAINTENANCE 

section. Do not use wire brushes or metal tools or scrappers to remove paints drips, plaster, tar, etc. If a scraping device is 

required, a wood edge may be used carefully. Use lighter fluid to remove any adhesive left from stickers and labels.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this unit unless they are closely  

supervised at all times. 

• 

Use this bathtub only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by 

   Hydro Systems.

• 

Never insert or drop any object into any opening.

• 

Do not operate this unit without the cover over the suction fitting.

• 

Hydro Systems tubs are designed for “fill-and-drain” use. Fill the tub to use it and drain it when you are finished.

Note: The pump motor is equipped with a thermal overload protector which senses current and temperature. The motor 

will shut down automatically in the event of an unsafe condition. If this happens, turn the whirlpool system off. When the 

unsafe condition has been corrected the motor is automatically ready to restart.

TO OPERATE:

Fill the tub with water at the desired temperature. When you’re sitting in the tub the water level should be at least 1”  

above all jets but lower than the overflow. Each Hydro Systems Designer series whirlpool bathtub is equipped with these 

standard features
