The SUITMATE
®
Swimsuit Water Extractor has been designed and manufactured with
safety as our primary consideration. Therefore, it is important that the unit be installed
correctly. It is also important that the installation comply with all local building codes
and regulations. Please consult your local licensed plumbing and electrical engineers
or contractors about your installation. Read the entire INSTALLATION instructions before
beginning your installation. Remember:
DO IT RIGHT
and
DO IT SAFE.
PROPER LOCATION FOR THE SUITMATE
Following is a list of factors to consider in determining a location for the SUITMATE.
1. The unit should be located in an area that is near where people remove and rinse
out their swimsuits.
2. The unit should NOT be located in a cluttered area or where it is exposed to direct
shower water or water hose down.
3. The unit should be mounted on a wall structure that will support the unit’s approxi-
mate 60 pounds hanging weight plus the added weight or pressure of people
leaning on the unit. Consult the PROPER WALL MOUNTING section of these
instructions to determine an appropriate location.
4. There should be a means to dispose of the waste water from the unit. Consult the
PROPER DRAINAGE section of these instructions to determine an appropriate
location.
5. The unit should be wired to a 120 volt 20 ampere 60Hz
dedicated circuit
. Consult
the PROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS section of these instructions to deter-
mine an appropriate location.
PROPER WALL MOUNTING OF THE SUITMATE
The SUITMATE should be mounted to the wall with the Mounting Bracket that is provided
with the unit. The SUITMATE INSTALLATION TEMPLATE shows the recommended location
for the mounting holes, the electrical service, and the waste water outlet (if utilized). The
SUITMATE Mounting Bracket must be secured to a wall stud, or to a concrete block or
cinder block wall.
Anchors in drywall are not sufficient to mount the SUITMATE.
Locating and Securing the
Mounting Bracket to the Wall
The recommended height from the floor to the top of
the SUITMATE is 42 inches. At least an additional
10 inches of clearance above the SUITMATE is needed
for the opening and closing of the Lid. This means that
the top edge of the Mounting Bracket should be 39
1
⁄2
inches from the floor. Use the SUITMATE INSTALLA-
TION TEMPLATE to determine a location on the wall
that provides for adequate clearance, a strong and
secure place for the Mounting Bracket as well as easy
access to the electrical and drainage connections.
The Mounting Bracket must be level after secured to the wall.
