Installation Considerations
- The replacement pump may have different physical dimensions than the original pump.
- A new stable pump base or mounting platform may be required.
- Existing plumbing can often be reused, but minor alignment or plumbing adjustments may be necessary.
- This is a 120V system. Do not connect it directly to a 240V supply.
- The electrical supply must match the system requirements and be GFCI protected.
- Installation should be completed by a qualified technician when electrical or plumbing modifications are required.
Choose this system when you prefer three-speed wireless control and want to avoid installing a new tub deck keypad. A separate variable-speed keypad system is available for customers who want tub-mounted controls with Wave and Pulse massage modes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a variable-speed pump system?
No. This wireless remote version provides three selectable operating speeds: High, Medium, and Low. Whirly Bros also offers a separate keypad-controlled system with variable-speed, Wave, and Pulse functions.
Does this include a tub-mounted keypad?
No. Operation is controlled through the included waterproof wireless remote, so a new electronic keypad does not have to be installed on the tub deck.
Will it replace the original Kohler 73533-AA system?
It is offered as a complete retrofit solution for compatible Kohler 73533-AA installations. Because older baths may have different configurations, the original pump label, voltage, plumbing orientation, and installation space should be verified before ordering.
Can the existing plumbing be reused?
Many installations can reuse most of the existing plumbing. However, differences in pump dimensions or connection alignment may require minor plumbing adjustments.
Can this be connected to 240V?
No. The included pump and control system operate on 120V. Any existing 240V installation must be properly converted by a qualified electrician before this system is connected.
What is included with the remote?
The waterproof remote includes High, Medium, Low, On/Off, and a 30-minute timer function. Batteries are included.
