GENERAL INFORMATION TO BE READ PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Warm Air Massage Hydrotherapy System
Please refer to local building codes.
Your bathtub must never rest on the jets or related tubing and brackets. It must be level.
Do not kink the hose during installation. Doing so may restrict airflow and burn out the blower mo-
tor.
Your bathtub must be tested: Before completing the installation, fill the bathtub with water. Start
the blower and inspect thoroughly for leaks. Do not operate the hydrotherapy system if the bathtub
is not properly filled to this level or if the bathtub is empty. Safety Bath is not responsible for defects
and problems discovered or that could have been repaired or avoided by following this procedure.
The heating element on your Warm Air Massage system heats the air blown into the bathtub to pre-
vent the water from cooling too fast. It will not, under any circumstances, reheat or maintain the
temperature of the bath water.
IMPORTANT: The blower must not be insulated and must have sufficient air space to permit proper
functioning. Make sure there is sufficient air circulation.
Before finalizing the installation:
Before completing installation, all surfaces surrounding the bathtub (floor and walls) must be thor-
oughly cleaned and completely free of all wood shavings or any other particles that could be aspi-
rated into the system by the blower.
Make sure no objects are obstructing the blower‘s air intake.
Before filling the bathtub with water, be sure it is completely clean and free of any dirt, dust or instal-
lation debris.
Before completing installation, check that the blower, air push button and all connections are opera-
tional.
Ensure flexible hose between the blower and manifold is secure. Check clamps on each end. Verify
that all the clamps are sufficiently tightened before final installation.
Electrical Connections
The electrical connections, wiring, junctions, and receptacles are subject to inspec-
tion and approval by local authorities. A licensed electrician must make all electrical
connections.
The Integrated Tile Flange
If finishing the surrounding walls of the bathtub with cementboard (or equivalent) and tile, please
refer to the detailed instructions and illustrations on pages 21 & 22. Safety Bath does not recom-
mend, nor does it support, any other tile installation methods, including but not limited to, installing
the cementboard over the tile flange.
