1. Construct the Support Structure
NOTICE: An additional support structure is required. To avoid fatigue cracking to the bath/whirlpool
deck, construct a support structure under the front edge of the bath/whirlpool deck.
NOTICE: Do not use the additional support structure to carry the load of the bath/whirlpool. The
bath/whirlpool must be supported by its feet.
If you have not already done so, prepare the site for the bath/whirlpool. Refer to the installation
instructions packed with your bath/whirlpool.
Complete the bath/whirlpool installation at this time. Refer to the installation instructions packed
with your bath/whirlpool.
Determine the location of the supports.
Construct two vertical supports in a tee or square configuration, designing them so they do not
interfere with the whirlpool harness (if applicable), apron adjustment, plumbing lines, and faucet
mounting.
For installations to concrete, position a rubber pad at the support location to reduce movement of
the support.
Install two vertical supports. Rest the base of the support on the floor, not the base of the
bath/whirlpool.
If the installation is to a wood floor, secure the supports to the floor.
