IMPORTANT
• Read installation instructions carefully before starting project.
• Peel back protective film to verify color before installation.
• Allow bathtub to reach room temperature before installation.
• Do not use plumber’s putty. Will cause product failure and void warranty. Use a high grade silicone
caulk for all necessary locations.
• Building materials and wiring should be routed away from the pump body and any other heat producing components.
• Bathtub must be tested for leaks before final installation. Although your unit has been factory tested,
damage may occur during shipping or handling. (See Page 2 Step 3)
• Keep instructions for warranty information.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1. PREPARING ALCOVE
• Strip to bare studs.
• Bathtub stud pocket should be constructed as shown above.
• Floor must be clean, smooth and level (check with level). Sub-floor must be installed in the stud layout.
Do not install bathtub on open floor joists.
• Cut hole in sub floor, as shown above on Page 1, to accommodate drain.
• The Access panel is located on the bathtub apron to service pump/motor and heater assembly after installation. Failure to provide access to these
areas may result in added removal and re-installation costs in the event service may be required.*
STEP 2. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS*
• Install the 110 volt, 20 amp GFCI outlets as shown on Page 1 in alcove to the stud wall underneath the bathtub at least 4" above the sub floor.
(Fig. 1) One is for the pump/motor and the other is for the inline heater.
• Both GFCI receptacles in alcove must be wired to the junction box shown on page 1. The junction box is then wired to a separate 110 volt, 20 amp
service breaker from the breaker panel. Do not combine any other electric service with bathtub supply line.
• Service supply line must be connected to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) at the breaker panel for added protection and to meet code
requirement. Install breaker only after all other electrical connections have been made.
• Your bathtub wiring should be installed by a licensed electrician. All electrical reparations and connections must be made in strict
compliance with local and national electrical codes.
WARNING: If bathtub is not properly wired, there is danger of electrical shock or fire.
STEP 3. LEAK TEST BATHTUB
• BATHTUB MUST BE TESTED FOR LEAKS BEFORE FINAL INSTALLATION. ALTHOUGH YOUR UNIT HAS BEEN FACTORY TESTED,
DAMAGE MAY OCCUR DURING SHIPPING OR HANDLING.
• Connect drain piping to drain, waste and overflow. Remove front access panel. (Fig. 2)
• Plug motor and inline heater into GFCI receptacle box. If motor starts, turn it off by depressing the on/off button in the bathtub*.
• Fill bathtub with water, make sure water is above intake and outtake covers. Run for ten minutes. Inspect all fittings, plugs and
connections for possible leaks. The inline heater is pressure sensitive, it will come on automatically with flow of water, make sure
that the heater light is on*.
• Drain bathtub. If any leaks are found, call Lyons Industries Inc. Customer Service Department at 1-800-458-9036.
* Applies to Heated Soaking Bathtub and Whirlpool versions only.

STEP 4. INSTALLING BATHTUB
• ATTENTION: There is a small foam strip added at each end of the bathtub for wall
installation. These are there to prevent leaking down the front of the bathtub.
DO NOT REMOVE. REMOVAL OF THESE FOAM STRIPS WILL RESULT IN PRODUCT
FAILURE AND WILL VOID WARRANTY.
• Before trial installation of bathtub, check to be sure all hoses, fittings and jet
connections are tight. Be sure flex hosing with air release valve that is connected
to the suction elbow is installed in a vertical position with the tip placed above the
water line, otherwise leaking will occur*. (Fig. 3) Flex hosing installation may vary
depending on unit.
• Trial fit bathtub in prepared alcove. With bathtub sitting flat on sub-floor, check with level
on top of bathtub. Bathtub should be level from front to back and side to side (Fig. 4). If
bathtub is not level use standard wood shims or leveling compound.

Air Release
Valve
• To ensure proper stability glue feet and shims to sub-floor with construction adhesive (Fig 5
and 6).
• For maximum support use floor leveling compound (smooth mortar) or a similar
quick-setting compound specifically made for leveling floors.
• After bathtub is leveled, if alcove is larger than bathtub, shim between bathtub and studs to
create a tight fit. Verify that all bathtub feet are shimmed and make contact with the subfloor. Screw bathtub flange to all studs (Fig. 7).

FIGURE 3. Ensure flex hose is vertical to prevent leaking.
• Connect drain piping to drain.
STEP 5. CLEANING
• Do not use any abrasive cleaners or metal scrapers.
• If drywall mud or plaster gets on your shower, it may be carefully removed with a
wooden scraper made from a piece of scrap wood.
• Adhesive may be removed with mineral spirits.
• Ideal cleaners are Soft Scrub Gel® or Comet Gel®.
FIGURE 4. Check to assure bathtub is level..
• FLUSHING INSTRUCTIONS FOR WHIRLPOOL OR HEATED SOAKING BATHTUB ONLY:
Bathtub unit must be flushed every ninety (90) days with a sanitizing chemical such
as a spa freshener, algicide or household bleach. Fill bathtub with water, add
sanitizing chemical and allow the unit to circulate for at least 20 minutes.
* Applies to Heated Soaking Bathtub and Whirlpool versions only.
WARNING: Some cleaning products are not suitable for use. Read all labels carefully.
DO NOT USE if they say “not suitable for use with ABS, acrylic or polystyrene.”

minutes at any one time.
6. High water temperatures and prolonged periods of use can raise internal human body
temperature excessively and impair the body's ability to regulate its internal temperature.

SUPERFICIAL SCRATCH

SCRATCH REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. For effective scratch removal and polishing, you will need to purchase these items.
1 sheet 1000 grit 3M® wet-dry sandpaper
1 sheet 1500 grit 3M® wet-dry sandpaper
1 sheet 2000 grit 3M® wet-dry sandpaper
LIGHT SCRATCH
1500 – 2000 grit
1 small container of 3M® rubbing compound #05933
These items can be purchased at most auto supply stores that provide supplies to professional paint and body shops. Call before you go.
Not all auto supply stores will have these items.
2. Start sanding with 2000 grit paper. Use small squares of paper about 2" x 2" for all sanding, and use lots of water. The water serves as both a lubricant
and to prevent residue buildup on the paper. Residue buildup shortens the effective life of the paper and may scratch the surface you’re trying to polish.
3. 2000 grit paper is the finest grit available (the higher the number, the finer the grit). If you
can’tremoveallofthescratcheswith2000grit,switchto
MEDIUM SCRATCH

1500 grit. Remember to wash the paper frequently with water as you sand.
4. If all of the scratches can’t be removed with 1500 grit, switch to 1000 grit. This should remove most fine scratches. If you have deep scratches or a
gouge, coarser paper may have to be used (see chart to right). Be careful! Using grit that is too coarse may actually put in more scratches than it removes.
5. Once you have removed all of the scratches, by sanding with the finest paper possible, repeat the sanding process using successively finer grits of
DEEP GOUGE
600 – 2000 grit
paper until you’ve once again sanded with 2000 grit.
6. Now use 3M® rubbing compound #05933 on a soft, damp cloth. Polish using considerable pressure to produce a smooth, shiny finish.
