Installation Procedures (Cont)
Spot-fasten the two bottom corners and the two top
5
corners of the vertical side nailing flange.
Nail/fasten at each stud through the topside flanges at
6
each stud 16" (405mm) on center, working from both ends
toward back center. Complete the fastening through
vertical side flange, approximately 8" (205mm) on center.
When other than cementitious backer board is to be used,
7
furring strips as thick as nailing flanges are recommended
for installation on studs above the installed unit to assure
walls will be flush. 100% silicone sealant with mildew
resistant properties should be applied between the backer
board and horizontal surface of unit (Figure 10). Then
finished wall materials can be applied.
Finishing of other trades should be done in conformance
8
with applicable codes and generally accepted building
practices.
Use a hole saw (fine tooth or abrasive grit cutting edge) to
9
drill holes for deck mounted tub fittings.
Connect flex water supply lines to faucet, connect bathtub
10
drains and plug power cords into GFCI outlets.
Turn on the power supply to the dedicated GFCI protected circuits and check system operation.

Cleanup

To avoid dulling and scratching the surface of the bathtub, never use abrasive cleaners. For most soiled surfaces, a
mild liquid detergent and warm water is sufficient. The following is also recommended:
•
Remove spilled plaster with a wood or plastic edge. Spots left by plaster or grout can be removed if lightly rubbed
with detergent on a damp cloth or sponge. Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes or other metal tools, as they
will damage the bathtub's surface.
•
Paint, tar, or other difficult stains can be removed with Fantastik® or soapy water.
•
Minor scratches which do not penetrate the color finish can be removed by lightly sanding with 600-grit wet/dry
sandpaper. You can restore the glossy finish to the acrylic surface of the bathtub with a special compound,
Meguiar's #10 Mirror Glaze. If that is not available, use automotive rubbing compound followed by an application
of automotive paste wax.
•
Major scratches and gouges which penetrate the acrylic surface will require refinishing. Call Jacuzzi Luxury Bath
to find a service agent in your area.

General Operation Information

All bathtubs manufactured by Jacuzzi Luxury Bath are designed
for "fill and drain," which means the bathtub should be drained
after each use and filled with fresh water by the next bather. This
is a health precaution, as these bathtubs are not designed to hold
water continuously like pools or spas.
Close the drain and fill the bathtub until water is at least 1˝ to 2˝
(25mm to 51mm) above the highest jet (see water line indicated in
the illustration - Figure 11). Do not turn on the whirlpool system at
any time if the jets are not completely immersed in water. Running
the whirlpool system when there is insufficient water in the bathtub
could result in water spraying outside the bath area. Running
the whirlpool system without water will damage the recirculating
pump.
When exiting the bathtub, the water level will drop below the jets which could result in water
NOTE
being sprayed out of the unit. To prevent this, you must turn unit OFF before exiting bathtub.
