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 room￿s 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 Kohler￿s 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￿
