Overview

This document serves as an installation instruction and owner's manual for the EMPV-JT351N massage bathtub. It provides comprehensive guidance for safe and effective use, installation, operation, and maintenance of the product. The manual emphasizes the importance of proper handling to prevent damage and ensure user safety.

The bathtub is designed to offer a relaxing massage experience, featuring various functions such as water jets, air bubbles, a waterfall, and LED lighting, depending on the specific model and configuration chosen by the user. It is equipped with a control panel for easy operation of these features.

Installation

Before installation, it is crucial to ensure the chosen location is structurally sound to support the total weight of the bathtub, maximum water volume, and the user. Waterproofing of the installation area is mandatory to prevent water leaks. The installation site must also be equipped with water supply, power supply, and drainage. The product uses universal home power, but external circuitry requires a high-sensitive and fast-type leakage protection switch (induced current rating below 15MA, trip time less than 0.1 second, rated current above 30A). Grounding and an electric leakage switch must be installed by a qualified licensed electrician.

Drainage requires a hole of at least ø50mm, and drainage pipes must align with the water valve. Connectors for 1/2" external thread cold/hot water hoses, protruding 30mm from the wall, should be reserved. It is recommended to install a valve in each pipe for convenient maintenance. A reference layout is provided for placing the bathtub according to the actual bathroom and power/drain configurations. A safe distance of not less than 30cm must be maintained between power supply and water supply.

Prior to final installation, an inspection is required. Although bathtubs are water tested at the factory, hose connections may loosen during transport. The inspection steps include placing the tub on a flat surface, adjusting feet for level, checking for loose connections, filling the tub to the overflow for 10 minutes to check for leaks, and then inserting the plug to test all functions (massage, air bubble, waterfall, LED light, heater, etc.) for any defects. Any defects must be reported to the dealer/distributor before installation to ensure warranty coverage.

The bathtub features leveling feet that can be adjusted using a wrench or level ruler to ensure the tub is perfectly level. An unlevel bathtub can lead to increased noise, residual water in hoses or drainage, and shaking. The leveling process involves adjusting the height of the leveling feet and then tightening the screw nut to the level position.

Connecting the water supply involves using the provided stainless steel cold and hot water hoses (connector ø 1/2"). Before connecting, open the water pipe for a period to flush out debris and then install a filter screen to prevent debris from entering the bathtub pipe, thereby extending the life of the fitting. The drain-pipe should be inserted into the drain-hole on the floor and covered with a water-retaining cover. The red hose is for hot water, and the blue hose is for cold water. The drain-pipe should be installed with a slope above 1:50. Care must be taken not to hold the drain-pipe and cold/hot water hoses when moving the bathtub, and to avoid crashing them with hard objects.

For electrical connection, a proper dedicated plug with a ground electrode must be installed to the power line and inserted firmly. The ground must be connected to the ground terminal of the motor and the stainless steel frame, and the other side to the ground wires of the plug. The bathtub must be connected to the ground, the power outlet must be sealed well, and the surface of each wire must be intact. Installation must be performed by a professional electrician.

Usage Features

The bathtub features a three-jaw three-piece set faucet with a waterfall/sprinkling style transferable switch (marked with an icon), a hot water switch (marked with 'H'), and a cold water switch (marked with 'C').

A multi-function handheld shower with a backflow protector is included. The shower head shell can be rotated to adjust the water pattern, offering inner, middle, and external water columns.

Water jets allow for adjustment of water force and angle of inflow. Rotating the head of the water jets clockwise/anticlockwise adjusts the water force, while turning the head up, down, left, or right adjusts the angle of inflow.

For models with a hydro massage flow rate control switch, rotating it clockwise decreases water column strength, and anticlockwise increases it.

Drainage is manual. The drain cover with overflow can be rotated clockwise to close the drain and anticlockwise to open it. When the water level exceeds the maximum, excess water is drained by the overflow.

The OVS-371 control panel allows for easy operation of the bathtub's functions. To power on, press the power key; the system starts, and function icons appear on the display. Pressing the key again powers off the unit. Functions are selected by pressing the left or right arrow keys, which move a "symbol" pointer across the icons. The selected function can be activated or deactivated by pressing the "OK" key.

Key functions and their operations:

  • Water level protection: The water pump will not start if the water level is too low. If short of water, the water level icon will flicker. The pump automatically turns off after 60 minutes of operation.
  • Water jets: The surfing function must be on for the heating function to launch, controlled by a preset temperature.
  • Inline heater: This option is only available when water jets are running. It automatically shuts off when the water temperature reaches 104°F (40°C).
  • Air jets: The air bubble function automatically turns off every 60 minutes.
  • Lockout button: If there is no activity on the keyboard for 2 minutes, the screen displays a lock icon, indicating the keyboard is automatically locked. Pressing "OK" unlocks it.

Maintenance Features

Regular care is essential to keep the bathtub clean and functioning optimally. The pump and pipe circulation systems should be flushed before first use and monthly thereafter. The cleaning procedure involves:

  1. Not running the jet massage system dry.
  2. Filling the tub with hot water (about 40°C) 2-3 cm above the jets and adding 2-3 teaspoons of low foaming detergent.
  3. Turning on all functions and running for 10 minutes.
  4. Draining the tub completely.
  5. Filling the tub with cold water above the jets.
  6. Turning on all functions and running for 15 minutes.
  7. Draining the tub completely.
  8. Cleaning the "suction cover" by removing any hair or lint. Monthly, unscrew the suction cover (if it has screws visible from inside the tub) and clean debris from the cover and housing, then remount it. Never operate the unit with the safety suction cover off.

To prevent freezing during winter use, the bathtub and pipes must be emptied, as freezing can rupture them. Only standard tap water should be used; well water can cause corrosion and leaks. The bathtub should be protected from direct ultraviolet or bright light to prevent accelerated aging and damage. Keep it away from heat sources like cigarette butts and hair dryers to avoid high-temperature deformation. When not in use, keep the bathtub ventilated and dry, and avoid contact with corrosive substances, electricity, and water.

To avoid damage when the appliance is left empty for an extended period, do not drop or strike the bathtub with hard objects, as this can cause cracks, scratches, or leaks. During operation, do not cut off any connection lines or split the bus master and control panel, as this can lead to leakage, electric shock, or other accidents. The ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) should be tested regularly, preferably before each use.

For cleaning, use water or mild detergent. Avoid acids, alkalis, organic solvents, and acidic/alkaline cleaning agents, as these can damage the product surface. For stubborn stains, use a clean cloth impregnated with a little alcohol. Plating parts should be scrubbed with cotton fabric. Light scratches and dulled areas can be restored by using NO. 1200 waterproof sandpaper dipped in water for coarse grinding, followed by NO. 2000 waterproof sandpaper for fine grinding, and finally polishing with a soft cloth and polishing agent.

The manual also includes a troubleshooting guide for common issues like the water pump not starting, inability to control hydro massage flow rate, and water hose leaks, providing corresponding solutions.
