Troubleshooting - MTI BASICS Series Owner's Manual

INSTALL FOOT SPA INTO BASIN
NOTE: Your MTI BASICS Foot Spa must be supported along the full length of the spa bottom
with bedding compound such as Quickrete Sand/Topping Mix #1103 or equivalent. Lower spa
into compound by shifting spa side to side until the lip rests on the finished decking. The bed-
ding compound and not the rim of the spa must support the spa weight. Let compound harden
overnight before use. FAILURE TO PROPERLY BED FOOT SPA WILL VOID WARRANTY.
1. Caulk under the lip of the foot spa and place it into the hole cutout (no clamps or
screws required).
2. Clean the excess caulk off the basin and let dry completely before using.
CONNECT WATER SUPPLY
The foot spa must be installed according to local plumbing codes. A licensed plumber should
make all plumbing connections.
CONNECT POWER SUPPLY
Standard Electrical Equipment: Every MTI BASICS Foot Spa is supplied with a 1 BHP, 110-
volt pump that draws 5.5 amps. It comes with a 27" grounded 3-prong plug to be plugged into a
standard grounded GFCI protected receptacle.

The following are some common solutions to possible problems with your foot spa. For detailed
information, contact MTI's Service Department at 800-783-8827.
FOOT SPA PUMP/MOTOR WON'T TURN ON
• Check the following:
1. Is the power cord plugged in?
2. Has the GFCI or breaker tripped?
3. Is there power at the plug? Plug in another appliance, such as a hairdryer, to see that it works.
4. Is the connection from the on/off control to the pump secure?
FOOT SPA LEAkS
• Check caulking around foot spa for leaks.
• Check plumbing for leaks.
• Is water deflecting out of the foot spa?
The foot spa may be too full. Drain some water out of the foot spa. Water level should be
just above the jets.
LITTLE OR NO ACTION FROM JETS
• Check to be sure the jets are open.
• Open air volume control located on deck of foot spa.
• Debris lodged in pump impeller. To remedy, put flathead screwdriver into center of motor
shaft and turn clockwise until it spins freely.
