List of New Terms
Bathing well - The deep portion of the overflowing bath used by the bather.
Bathing well rim - The high rim between the bathing well and the overflow channel. Water will evenly
cascade over the bathing well rim and into the overflow channel during operation.
Cavitation - When air is drawn into the pump instead of water to a point where it impairs or stops the
pump's ability to circulate water.
Chromatherapy lights - Lights provided in the basin of the overflowing bath to enhance your bathing
experience.
Metal suction screen - The removable metal screen located over the suction cover in the overflow channel.
The suction screen must always be clean and in place when the overflowing bath is running to prevent
debris from entering the water intake port and to prevent cavitation and poor operation.
Outer rim - The rim along the outside of the overflowing bath.
Overflow channel - The overflow water collection channel surrounding the bathing well. The overflow
channel collects the water overflowing the bathing well rim during normal operation, and channels the
water back into the piping system for recirculation.
Overflow channel sensors - The two metal probes located in the wall of the overflow channel beneath the
drain overflow hood. These sensors prevent activation of the pump if insufficient water is available, and
will automatically shut off the pump if the water level drops below them. The pump will only operate
when these two sensors are completely submerged.
Plastic suction cover - The plastic guard attached over the water intake port located in the overflow
channel. The suction cover must always be installed during product use to ensure user safety.
