10. Test Run the Whirlpool

- Check all electrical connections, and make sure the electrical power to the whirlpool and in line heater is on.
- Make sure all union connections to the pump and in line heater are securely hand tightened.
- Verify that the pump banding straps have been cut, and that the pump support bracket is resting directly on the
subfloor.
- Fill the whirlpool to a level at least 2" (5cm) above the top of the highest jet.
- Operate the whirlpool for 5 minutes, and check all whirlpool piping connections for leaks.
- For additional information on whirlpool operation, see Confirm Proper Operation on Page 11.

11. Complete the Finished Wall

- If you have not already done so, carefully remove the protective tape from the whirlpool rim.
- Cover the framing with water resistant deck material. Seal the joints between the whirlpool rim edge and the
water resistant deck material with silicone sealant.
- Tape and mud the water resistant deck material. Install the finished wall to the water resistant deck material. Seal
the joints between the whirlpool rim and the finished deck material with silicone sealant.

12. Clean-Up After Installation

- When cleaning up after installation, do not use abrasive cleansers, as they may scratch and dull the whirlpool
surface. Use warm water and a liquid detergent to clean the surface.
- Remove stubborn stains, paint, or tar with turpentine or paint thinner. Do not allow cleaners containing
petroleum distillates to remain in contact with any whirlpool surfaces for long periods of time. Remove plaster
by carefully scraping with a wood edge. Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, or other metal tools. Use a
powder type detergent on a damp cloth to provide mild abrasive action to any residual plaster.
