Route electrical connection from pump to control

box and from control box to duplex receptacle

FLOOR

*4 inch minimum (or in accordance with local

building or electrical codes

4” *

Duplex receptacle

(Not provided)

ELECtRICAL CONNECtIONS

A separate circuit, which must be protected by a Ground Fault

Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), is required. Install a duplex outlet

to the studwall underneath the bathtub, at least 4 inches (102

mm) above the floor or according to local building and electrical

codes. The duplex outlet is not provided.

DANgER: Risk of electric shock. Connect only to a circuit

protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter.

RELOCAtINg thE BLOWER MOtOR

The 800W units come with a fused control box. For

convenience and/or accessibility, the blower motor (and fused

control box on 800W units) can be installed in a remote location.
IMPORtANt: Normally the Ozone equipment is connected to

the Blower equipment. Because the Ozone equipment should be

kept with the air bath, you need to provide a dedicated GFCI at

15 A for the Ozone equipment.
NOtE: The blower motor (and fused control box on 800W units)

must be relocated as a unit.
A separate circuit, which must be protected by a Ground Fault

Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), is required in the remote location.

Electrical connections should be performed by a licensed

electrician. The remote location must be service accessible.

The total length of the air pipe must not require more than 15’

(4.57 m) of piping and 6 directional changes. Pipe diameter

must be 1-1/2” (38 mm) or larger. Choose a space as close

to the bath as possible so the system works as efficiently as

possible. This space must be at least 30 cubic feet (2.79 m2)

and the blower must be mounted at least 2” (50.8 mm) above

the floor and 2” (50.8 mm) minimum away from any wall. The

blower must not be installed in an attic area.
NOtE: Do not remove the inverted U and check valve, see

figures below. Do not glue piping to the blower. Blower is

attached to the piping via a screw. Glue the air pipe and let set

overnight before attaching the blower with screw.
NOtE: Installing the Blower in a remote location will reduce

system efficiency.

CAUtION: It is imperative to let the glued blower air pipe set

overnight as there may be fumes from the glue that could be

ignited if not allowed to dissipate.
Provide adequate ventilation in the remote location for cooling

the motor and to supply sufficient air for the blower. The intake

of the blower must not be blocked, restricted or have any debris

around it that can potentially be sucked into blower. Insulation on

the air pipe length can reduce heat loss.
NOtE: Relocated blower requires a service access for the

control box and blower.
