WATERĆFREE ZONE
You must design a WaterĆFree Zone area into the
room layout. The WaterĆFree Zone offers three
important safety and comfort benefits that should
give it the highest priority in your design plans.
S Keypad control access: User safety and
comfort dictate that the keypad control be
inst alle d and ope rate d in th e room' s WaterĆFre e
Zone because of the volume and force of the
BodySpa water.
S Door enclosure location: The WaterĆFre e
Zone offers a perfect location for the user to
enter and exit the Custom BodySpa room
unimpeded by the forceful waters of the
hydroĆmassage. The door enclosure must be
installed to a side wall, away from the main
force of the water, to prevent water leakage past
th e door sea ls. K oh ler Co. off ers s eve ral door
enclosure designs that are suitable for use with
the Custom BodySpa. We recommend a pivot
door enclosure from Kohler's Focal or Arica
lines .
S WaterĆFree Zone relief: I t i s i m port a nt for
the Custom BodySpa room to have an area
where the user can quickly and easily step out
of the wa te r stre am for a fe w mome nts , if
desired.
PUMP BOX
NOTE: Do not remove the pump from the pump
box.
The pump box contains a 2Ćhorsepower pump and
motor, along with a control box and an integral
heater.
You must provide at least 32 cubic feet (length x
width x height) of unrestricted air space around the
pump box to allow the motor to cool properly and to
provide accessibility to the pump and control box.
We suggest you construct a false wall behind the
tower face wall framing. Locate the false wall
parallel with the face wall.
Plan to install the pump box underneath the tower
to maximize accessibility, and so the pump inlet
faces in the direction of your planned suction line.
The pump box should be within 36Ćinches to either
side of the tower to ensure that the tower and
Waterfall cables reach to the pump box.
Plan the false wall so at least 12Ćinches of access
space exists to the back of the face wall. If you plan
the installation for an existing home, or if several
different access panels along the back wall are not
feasible, provide more than 14Ćinches of access space
between the false wall and face wall so a repair
person can maneuver between the walls.
