10. Complete the Finished Deck
If you have not already done so, carefully remove the protective tape from the whirlpool rim.
Cover the framing with water-resistant deck material. Seal the joints between the whirlpool rim
edge and the water-resistant deck material with silicone sealant.
Tape and mud the water-resistant deck material. Install the finished deck to the water-resistant deck
material. Seal the joints between the whirlpool rim and the finished deck material with silicone
sealant.
Install the faucet trim according to the trim manufacturer's instructions.
11. Clean-Up After Installation
When cleaning up after installation, do not use abrasive cleansers, as they may scratch and dull the
whirlpool surface. Use warm water and a liquid detergent to clean the surface.
Remove stubborn stains, paint, or tar with turpentine or paint thinner. Do not allow cleaners
containing petroleum distillates to remain in contact with any whirlpool surfaces for long periods
of time. Remove plaster by carefully scraping with a wood edge. Do not use metal scrapers, wire
brushes, or other metal tools. Use a powder-type detergent on a damp cloth to provide mild
abrasive action to any residual plaster.
12. Confirm Proper Operation
Fill the Whirlpool
NOTE: Please read these steps carefully before you operate your whirlpool.
Position the jet nozzles so they face down toward the basin. Turn the jet trim rings fully
counterclockwise.
Fill the whirlpool to a water level at least 2" (5.1 cm) above the top of the highest jet.
NOTE: The water temperature in the whirlpool should not exceed 104° F (40° C).
Operating Sequence
Press the air actuator to turn on the whirlpool jets.
Adjust each jet for optimum air/water mixture. Turn the trim ring clockwise to reduce the air flow,
and counterclockwise to increase the air flow.
If equipped with a heater, the heater will engage automatically when the pump is turned on and
will disengage when the pump is turned off. The heater will not turn on if the water temperature
exceeds 104° F (40° C).
Press the air actuator a second time to turn off the whirlpool.
