Design Guide and

Installation Procedure

This Design Guide is intended for use only by qualified tub design/

assembly personnel. It serves as a generic starting point in helping you

to integrate the Ella's Bubbles MicroBubble System into your particular

Bath System, with the assistance of your Ella's Bubbles Design Team.

Please review the following overview pictures of the various compo-

nents of the Infusion Microbubble System and their locations.

Pump Suction Side

Generation II for Conventional Baths

Installation Instruction Manual

www.ellasbubbles.com

Page 8

Discharge Side

Pump Inner Side

Pump Install the Pump at a level that it is at least 1” higher than both the

Suc-tion and Discharge fittings, and run its Suction and Drain Port pipes with

a slight downward slope to provide the required self-drainage. For more

detailed information refer to Appendix 1 at the end of this manual.

Pressure Tank Observe the same recommendations when locating the Pres-

sure Tank. Orient the smaller ½” Port towards the Discharge fitting. An addi-

tional Pump Stand can be used to securely support it. Since the Tank is

molded in ABS and is under high pressure, any connections to it must be

done with specific ABS-PVC Transition Cement. For more detailed

information refer to Appendix 2 at the end of this manual.

Note It is recommended that all

parts are dry-fitted until the design is

complete.

Suction Line

Air Injector Assembly (#7)

Install with the

“FLOW” arrow pointed

towards the suction line and

away from dis-charge line

(long side closest to suction

line, short side closest to

discharge line). For more

detailed information refer to

Appendix 3 at the end of this

manual.

Prime Port Locate the Prime

Port (#34) at 2” below the

Maximum Water Level, or

higher. This fitting bleeds air

out of the Pump, allow-ing it

to prime. For more detailed

information refer to

Appendix 4 at the end of this

manual.

Note Do not install more than 2” below Maximum Water Level or pump priming

difficul-ties may result.

Barb Fitting is to point in the downward position with minimal drooping. Con-

nect the other end of the Tubing to the Pump Prime Port, and secure it with

the Clamp (#22).

The PVC pipe in between the Microbubble Nozzle (#3) and Wall Fitting (#24)

should be kept as short as possible. For more detailed information refer to

Appendix 5 at the end of this manual.

Note Nozzle (#3) must be oriented as shown for proper drainage.

Drain Line

Run a Drain Line from the Pump Drain Port down to the Nozzle Barb.

Note A constant downward slope the drain line is necessary to facilitate the

pump draining.
