6. Relocate and Mount the Pump

All Models-See Fig. 1
- Relocate the pump (and heater, if applicable) next to the customized inlet/outlet connections of the whirlpool
harness. The pump may protrude beyond the rim of the bath.
- Remove all protective packaging from around the whirlpool harness. Cut only those cable ties supporting the
harness attachment nuts.
- Remove the plugs from the pump inlet and outlet openings. Install the O rings into the grooves on the inlet and
outlet connector fittings.
Models with Whirlpool Base-See Fig. 2
- Set the pump on the support bracket.
- Position one spring clip over the pump mounting plate and pop one end into the mounting hole.
- Firmly press the other end of the spring clip down until it pops into the mounting hole on the other side of the
support bracket.
- Repeat procedure with second clip.
All Models
- Slide the pump (and heater if applicable) and support bracket into place.
- Thread the plastic inlet and outlet attachment nuts onto the pump (shown in Fig. 1) until the O rings make initial
contact.
- Tighten each nut no more than another quarter of a turn. Do not overtighten these nuts.
- Make sure the whirlpool harness piping is pitched correctly (down and away, shown in Fig. 2) to promote the
drainage of water from the pump through the suction fitting. Shim the pump if necessary to level the pump on
the subfloor, but only high enough to allow water to drain out the suction line when the whirlpool is drained.
NOTE: Do not shim the pump more than 1/2" (1.3cm). Raising the pump too high will prevent the pump from
priming properly.
- Secure the pump support bracket to the subfloor with four screws or lag bolts (not provided).
