DESIGN GUIDE
WATER%FREE ZONE
You must design a Water5Free Zone area into the room layout The Water5Free Zone offers three important safety and comfort benefits that should give it the highest priority in your design plans
Keypad control access:User safety and comfort dictate that the keypad control be installed and operated in the rooms Water5Free Zone because of the volume and force of the BodySpa water
Door enclosure location:The Water5Free Zone offers a perfect location for the user to enter and exit the Custom BodySpa room unimpeded by the forceful waters of the hydro5massage The door enclosure must be installed to a side wall away from the main force of the water to prevent water leakage past the door seals Kohler Co offers several door enclosure designs that are suitable for use with the Custom BodySpa We recommend a pivot door enclosure from Kohlers Focal or Arica lines
Water%Free Zone relief:It is important for
the Custom BodySpa room to have an area where the user can quickly and easily step out of the water stream for a few moments if desired
PUMP BOX
| NOTE: Do | not | remove the pump | from the | pump | ||
| box |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The pump box contains a 5horsepower pump and | ||||||
| motor along with a control box and an integral | ||||||
| heater |
|
|
|
|
| |
| You | must provide at least 3 cubic feet length x | |||||
| width x height of | unrestricted air space around the | |||||
| pump box to allow the motor to cool properly and to | ||||||
| provide accessibility | to the pump and control box | |||||
| We suggest you construct a false wall behind the | ||||||
| tower face wall framing Locate the false wall | ||||||
| parallel with the face wall |
|
| ||||
| Plan | to install | the | pump box underneath | the tower | ||
| to maximize accessibility and so the pump | inlet | |||||
| faces | in the direction of your planned suction line | |||||
| The | pump | box | should be within 365inches | to either | ||
| side | of the | tower | to ensure that the tower and | |||
| Waterfall cables reach to the pump box |
| |||||
| Plan | the false | wall | so at least 5inches of access | |||
| space | exists | to | the | back of the face wall | If you plan | |
| the installation for an existing home or if several | ||||||
| different access panels along the back wall are not | ||||||
| feasible provide more than 45inches of access space | ||||||
| between the false wall and face wall so a repair | ||||||
| person can | maneuver between the | walls |
