Water Supply; Operation - Jacuzzi S198 Owner's Manual

Drain Information
A drain/overflow assembly must be installed on the bath,
water tested, and connected to the sanitary system of
the house. After opening the carton, inspect for dam-
age and verify that the kit is of the proper finish. In the
Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath drain/overflow kit, note that the
waste flange, strainer, overflow cover and cover screws
are packaged in a separate package within the kit to
protect the trim finish. Follow the installation instruc-
tions provided with the drain/overflow kit.
After the drain is fully installed, test for proper drainage.
If the unit does not drain properly, rectify this condition
before proceeding with the installation. Jacuzzi Whirl-
pool bath is not responsible for removal and/or reinstal-
lation costs.
NOTE: Watertight installation of the drain is the in-
staller's responsibility. Drain leakage is excluded
from the Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath warranty of this
product.
Plumbing
Pump, jets, and suction fittings for the whirlpool system
are factory plumbed in schedule 40 PVC piping. All
Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath products are factory tested for
proper operation and watertight connections prior to
shipping.
Before securing the bath to the floor a test for possible
water leaks must be made. Fill the bath and check for
leaks. If leaks are detected, notify your Jacuzzi Whirl-
pool Bath Dealer. Do not install the unit.

Water Supply

Consult local authorities for plumbing code requirements
in your area.
IMPORTANT: Proper installation of the fill spout plumb-
ing and compliance with local codes are the responsi-
bility of the installer. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath does not
warrant connections of water supply fittings and piping,
fill systems, or drain/overflow systems. Nor is it respon-
sible for damage to the bath which occurs during instal-
lation.
CAUTION: A nonflammable protective barrier must be
placed between soldering work and bath unit to prevent
damage to the bath.
Clean-Up After Installation
To avoid dulling and scratching the surface of the bath,
never use abrasive cleaners. A mild liquid detergent
and warm water will clean soiled surfaces.
Remove spilled plaster with a wood or plastic edge.
Metal tools will scratch the surface. Spots left by plas-
ter or grout can be removed if lightly rubbed with deter-
gent on a damp cloth or sponge.
Paint, tar, or other difficult stains can be removed with
paint thinner, turpentine, or isopropyl alcohol (rubbing
alcohol).
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 bath with a special compound,
Meguiar's #10 Mirror Glaze. If that is not available, use
automotive rubbing compound followed by an applica-
tion of automotive paste wax.
Major scratches and gouges which penetrate the acrylic
surface will require refinishing. Ask your Jacuzzi Whirl-
pool Bath dealer for special instructions.

OPERATION

Water Level
Close the drain and fill the bath until water is at least 2"
above the highest jet (see water line indicated in the
illustration). 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 in-
sufficient water in the bath could result in water spray-
ing outside the bath area. Running the whirlpool sys-
tem without water will damage the recirculating pump.
