Operating Instructions
Please spend a few minutes reading these operating instructions before using this product.
Basic Operation
Remove all loose bathing items (such as soap bars, shampoo bottles, and washcloths) from inside
the unit.
NOTE: Do not use excessive amounts of shampoo or soap while you are operating the overflowing bath. Of
course, you can freely use shampoo and soap for showering before you fill the unit.
Make sure the metal suction screen is clean and placed correctly over the plastic suction cover.
Close the drain.
NOTE: The water temperature in the bath should not exceed 40°C (104°F). The in-line heater will
automatically turn off as the water temperature approaches 40°C (104°F) and will remain off until the
water cools.
NOTE: The in-line heater will help maintain the water temperature while your overflowing bath is running.
Always fill the unit with water tempered to your desired comfort level.
Fill the unit with water to a level where the overflow channel sensors are completely covered and
the water in the bathing well runs into the overflow channel drain.
Within 30 seconds after the overflow channel sensors are submerged, the green light on the pump
control switch will automatically start to blink. This indicates the pump/motor is ready to begin
operation.
Fill the unit 102 mm (4") to 152 mm (6") above the bathing well rim.
NOTE: Like any other bath, prevent flooding the area around the unit by entering the filled bathing
well slowly. This will allow the system to properly drain excess water.
NOTE: Exercise caution if you walk or move around in the bathing well. Plastic surfaces are
inherently slippery when wet.
Slowly enter the bathing well, then press the pump control switch to start the pump/motor and
begin operation.
As the pump/motor turns on and water begins to circulate, the green light on the pump control
switch will change to solid green and will stay on as long as the overflowing bath is running.
Press the pump control switch again to turn off the overflowing bath. The green light in the pump
control switch will automatically start to blink until the overflowing bath is drained below the
overflow channel sensors, or is restarted.
