OWNERS MANUAL

TESTING YOUR WALK-IN TUB BEFORE INSTALLATION

1. All American Standard® walk-in baths are 100% water tested at the factory and have passed inspection.

Transportation and mishandling may loosen fittings and cause leaks. It is therefore necessary to test the

bathtub while there is access to all sides of the bath.

2. The unit needs to be filled with water and inspected for leaks along the door as well as the whirlpool and

air systems if equipped. The inspection needs to be performed with and without the whirlpool and / or air

systems operating. It is best to test the unit outside by filling with a garden hose.

a. Place the tub on a completely flat surface in an area where it may be drained after testing.

b. Using a clean rag and warm water wipe down seal to insure it is free of debris.

c. Seal the drain hole (this can be done with tape) and fill the tub to at least three inches above the

highest jet, or to the bottom of the safety bar if no jets are present.

d. Allow the water to stand in tub for 30 minutes and then inspect all plumbing and seals for

leaks.

e. Using appropriately rated three-prong extension cords, all plugged in to separate outlets,

operate all electrical components (air blower, water pump, and heater if applicable) for another

30 minutes and inspect for leaks again. Inspect the unions around the pump and heater.

f. If a leak persists at a union after tightening, it may have been over-tightened or might have a

displaced O-ring. Disassemble it and make sure the O-ring was seated properly. Do the same if

a leak persists at the heater. Verify that the heater threads match the pipe threads.

g. Ensure that all jets are open and working, some jets are adjustable for both flow rate and

direction of flow. The jet water flow rate is adjusted by turning either the outside ring or the

inside nozzle clockwise or counterclockwise. Some jets are not adjustable at the jet face, but

can be adjust by the “Leg’s Only Massage”. The “Legs Only Massage” Valve is located near

the seat. (If equipped.) .

3. If the pump/blower/lights/heater does not operate:

a. Check the breaker to ensure that power is on and make sure that any cables and / or air lines

connecting the control boxes to the switches and pumps are firmly attached. Verify the correct

electrical circuit and amps of the electrical cord.

b. Go to Trouble Shooting Guidelines. (See pages 23-25.)

c. Do not

run any pumps unless the tub is filled with water to the proper level. Damage due to

dry operation of pumps is not covered under the warranty period. (See pg. 22.)

Failure to perform these tests before installation will make the installer liable for future repair costs.
