FAQs

Do I need a special electrical connection for the whirlpool system?

Yes, the whirlpool pump typically requires a dedicated electrical circuit, installed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and proper function.

Can I install this bath myself?

While basic bath installation can be a DIY project, the whirlpool system's plumbing and electrical connections are best handled by a professional plumber and electrician.

What type of taps should I use with this bath?

Since the bath is undrilled, you can choose from a wide variety of wall-mounted, deck-mounted, or freestanding taps. Ensure they are compatible with your plumbing setup.

How often should I clean the whirlpool jets?

It is recommended to run the jets with clean water for a few minutes after each use to flush the system. A more thorough cleaning with a specialized cleaner can be done monthly or as needed.

What material is the bath made of?

The bath is constructed from sanitary-grade acrylic, known for its durability, smooth finish, and ease of maintenance.

Does the bath come with a waste or overflow kit?

This product description indicates it includes a leg set. Separate waste and overflow fittings are typically required and sold independently.

Troubleshooting

Whirlpool jets not working.

Check that the pump is correctly connected to the power supply and that the circuit breaker is on. Ensure no airlocks are present in the plumbing by following the pump manufacturer's priming instructions.

Low water pressure from jets.

Verify that the water intake filters for the pump are clean and free from debris. Check for any kinks or blockages in the pipework leading to the jets.

Bath surface appears dull or scratched.

Use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for acrylic surfaces. Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with a specialized acrylic repair kit.

Water draining slowly.

Ensure the waste trap and overflow pipe are clear of obstructions. Check for any blockages in the main drainpipe.
