List of Terms

Bathing well - The deep portion of the overflowing bath used by the bather.
Bathing well rim - The high rim between the bathing well and the overflow channel. Water will
evenly cascade over the bathing well rim and into the overflow channel during operation.
Cavitation - When air is drawn into the pump instead of water to a point where it impairs or stops
the pump's ability to circulate water.
Chromatherapy control pad - Turns the chromatherapy lights on and off (if equipped).
Chromatherapy lights - Lights provided in the basin of the bath (if equipped) to enhance your
bathing experience.
Heater - Designed to automatically help maintain the temperature of the water up to 104º F (40º C)
to enhance your hydro-massage experience. The heater turns on automatically when the whirlpool
is operating, and turns off when the pump motor is turned off.
Master control - This unit is located beneath the pump. It provides the "brains" of the system,
interpreting all incoming and outgoing signals.
Metal suction screen - The removable metal screen located over the suction cover in the overflow
channel. The suction screen must always be clean and in place when the overflowing bath is
running to prevent debris from entering the water intake port and to prevent cavitation and poor
operation.
Outer rim - The rim along the outside of the bath.
Overflow channel - The overflow water collection channel surrounding the bathing well. The
overflow channel collects the water overflowing the bathing well rim during normal operation, and
channels the water back into the piping system for recirculation.
Overflow channel sensors - The two metal probes located in the wall of the overflow channel
beneath the drain overflow hood. These sensors prevent activation of the pump if insufficient water
is available, and will automatically shut off the pump if the water level drops below them. The
pump will only operate when these two sensors are completely submerged.
Pump control switch - Turns the pump on and off.
Plastic suction cover - The plastic guard attached over the water intake port located in the overflow
channel. The suction cover must always be installed during product use to ensure user safety.
Pump - The pump circulates the water.
Wire harness - The wire harness connects all powered peripheral components (valves, pump, heater,
switches, lights) to the master control.
