Prepare the Whirlpool and Subfloor (cont.)
NOTE: The whirlpool supports must rest directly on the subfloor.
Build a dam to keep the flooring material clear of the drain area.
NOTE: Do not use gypsum cement or drywall compound for this application, as they will not provide
adequate support. Use mortar.
NOTE: Do not spread mortar around the whirlpool supports.
Spread a 2" (5.1 cm) layer of mortar on the subfloor.
Remove the dam.
Position the felt pad on top of the mortar bed.
Move the whirlpool into position.
Make sure that the pump support bracket and whirlpool supports do not rest in the bed material.
Verify that the whirlpool is level and resting on all supports.
