PRIMARY HEAT SOURCE
Employ a water heater of sufficient size and efficiency to supply hot water to the ustom odySpa footbath basin, while still able to maintain other hot4water needs of the residence. arefully
study the | chart | at left to determine the amount of | ||
hot | water | your | installation will require. Typically, | |
you | can | expect | a 50/50 mix of hot and cold water | |
fill | the | footbath | basin. So, a 504gallon water heater | |
will supply the minimum hot water needs for a | ||||
1004gallon | capacity basin. | |||
If the footbath basin water capacity is over 80 gallons, you should consider installing a dedicated water heater for the odySpa installation alone, and implement a second water heater for all other hot water applications in the residence.
DESIGN GUIDE
AUXILIARY HEAT SOURCES
*Based Upon 9:inch Nominal |
| Water | DepthNOTE: The Kohler ustom | odySpa employs a | |||||||
|
|
|
|
| heater inside the pump housing to automatically | ||||||
|
|
|
|
| maintain the water temperature at a comfortable | ||||||
|
|
|
|
| level. This heater is not intended to replace the | ||||||
|
|
|
|
| primary water heater. |
|
|
|
| ||
|
|
|
|
| We recommend a room size approximately 54feet | ||||||
|
|
|
|
| long x 44feet wide x 74feet | high for the | ustom | ||||
|
|
|
|
| odySpa. If you design a larger room, you should | ||||||
|
|
|
|
| employ an auxiliary heat source, such as a steam | ||||||
|
|
|
|
| generator, to support the pump heater and help | ||||||
|
|
|
|
| maintain the ambient temperature of the room. | ||||||
|
|
|
|
| FAUCETS AND FITTINGS |
|
|
| |||
|
|
|
|
| ecause the ustom odySpa recirculates tempered | ||||||
|
|
|
|
| water the user adds, this installation requires the | ||||||
|
|
|
|
| addition of a bath and shower faucet to fill the | ||||||
|
|
|
|
| footbath basin and for personal cleansing. We | ||||||
|
|
|
|
| recommend either K41099 Taboret Rite4Temp | ||||||
|
|
|
|
| single4control fitting or the K41098 Taboret | ||||||
|
|
|
|
| two4handle faucet kit. Talk to your distributor for | ||||||
|
|
|
|
| additional information. |
