• Ensure the electrical supply is a dedicated 120V circuit with proper grounding for safe operation.
• Use the included cord and air switch to enable quick, dependable startup every time you run the tub.
• After installation, test the self-draining feature to confirm the volute stays dry when the tub is off.
