QUIETNESS OF OPERATION: Aquatic has engineered their whirlpool baths from base to lip to ensure quality, value, functional design, and maximum bathing comfort. However, installation is accountable for as much as 50% of a tub’s operating quietness. Please ensure the following:
•The floor structure is adequate to support the installation.
•For quieter operation and heat retention conservation, the walls surrounding the whirlpool may be insulated.
•Insulate the tub surround. Do not allow any insulation to come within 3 feet of the blower and pump. The area around the blower and pump must be clean and free of any foreign matter.
•Leave 1/8” to 3/16” gap between tub lip and surround.
