First check the room
The Float room needs to:
• Be big enough, min. 3.5m by 3m wide (11’6” by 9’10”).
• Have a oor loading capacity of at least 5kN per square meter.
• Have a waterproof, bunded*, non slip oor (e.g. Altro Marine 20)
• Have a 230v 50Hz electricity supply as needed
• Have ventilation (fan if no window)
*Bunded means with raised edges so
that any leak is retained within the oor
area. Typical details are shown in the
photo below. Floataway will not be held
responsible for damage to adjacent room
oors or to ceilings below the oat room
if our advice has not been followed.
For commercial use, the room must:
• Have an emergency light
• Have appropriate re warning and escape
• Have appropriate disabled use equipment and signs, if applicable.
Check the access route through which the parts must be carried.
Inspect the proposed reception / centre
There must be a position for the CD player or sound source(e.g. iPad/iPod), and a place for the
remote control unit in the reception area. Check that the LAN cable has been installed for the
remote box. The remote control should not be easily accessible to the visiting public.
Check how much hot water will be available and if a hose will be needed to ll the product.
Plan where to put the salt and parts during the installation.

The Cables / Electrical Supply
The Data Cables:
The control system uses standard Industrial CAT5/6 LAN cable and RJ45 sockets. It must not be
part of a network but have it’s own dedicated cable. The cable should be installed with the control
box and remote. A second LAN cable is required for an intercom option. We recommend installing
a spare LAN cable at this time in case of damage to the cable.
2x Cat 5 or 6 LAN cables direct (no breaks/routers) from the back of the tank to the location of
the remote. The second is spare, but highly recommended. You need a 3rd if you have intercom or
think you may add it in the future.
Electricity Supply:
There should be a waterproof connection outlets for the single phase 230v 50 Hz. Supply. The
mains supply should be in a waterproof terminal point (or socket in some countries) near to the
location of the technical pack.
1x 230v 50Hz supply - 20A
Check that the voltage of the pool is suitable for the supply installed.
Connecting a 110 V pool to a 230 V supply or a 230 V pool to a 110 V supply will cause damage to
the pool components and may be dangerous. The supply should have a two-pole interrupter such
as a ceiling pull switch in the room. This interrupter must have a suitable current rating for the fuse
or breaker on each supply. The interrupter switch must be 2m (6’) from the water line of the pool.
Fusing and RCD (Residual Current Device) or GFCI :
• The pool should be supplied through it’s own RCD or GFCI (differential) with a trip current
of 30 mA / Class A and through an isolating switch.
• There must also be a fuse or circuit breaker in the line.
• For 230v installations the fuse should be 20 Amp with suitable cables.
We recommend that the electrical installation of the supply be done by a suitably qualied
electrician.

Please read through this Manual before beginning the installation. If you are not condent
of success, please hire an electrician to do the installation for you. Floataway will not be
responsible for installation errors caused by not using these instructions.
The Heater Insulation Panel
The heater insulation is a thick high temperature rigid aluminium
coated mat. The tub sits on top of this piece and is positioned
approximately 8 inches from the back wall in the oat room.
The Silicone Heater membrane sheets
The heaters must sit on top of the silicone sheet membrane, it is
a white soft foamed rubber sheet 2mm thick. The silicone sheet
is WHITE and comes rolled up. Lay the silicone sheets down on
the insulation panel ready for the heaters.
The Heater Panels
The heater panels, smooth metal side facing upwards, are posi-
tioned over the high temperature insulation. The drawing below
shows both sides of the heater panel. Be sure that the coil sides
are facing the insulation so that you see the smooth side facing
you as shown below right.
The drawing shows the correct
position of the heater panels
The heater with a longer wire
goes at the front of the product.
The cables run back to the con-
trol box on the tank and should
not be trapped under the tub.
Check that there are no foreign bodies on the top surface of
the heater, or on the bottom of the tub, before the tub is added.
Small hard objects may break the bottom of the tub when water
is added, or cause local hot spots or noises.
The heaters are not supplied connected to the control box and must be fed through cable ties
along the tank and then the glands and connected to ground (5), neutral (2), series connection(8)
and switched live (Heater MCB 1) connections in the control box. (See connection information
under “control box” section.) A small portion of the heaters should stick out from under the tub (ap-
proximately an inch) to enable earth bond testing.
The Tub
Place the tub gently onto the insulation and heater panels. The heater panels and insulation may
be walked on during this manoeuvre. Remove any packaging from the tub and clean it thoroughly,
rst using soapy water, then if necessary lighter fuel (not acetone) for stubborn marks. Position
the tub so that its base sit exactly on top of the insulation.

Ground Noise Isolation System
The optional ground noise isolation system (GNIS) is designed to reduce the frequencies trans-
ferred through the ground into the water. The rubber springs will only work once the tank is lled
and salt is added as the system is designed for the working load of the product so will not work
correctly with the tranquillity empty.
Typical noises that can be heard through the water include road noise, toilets ushing, foot steps,
doors closing, these type of sounds can be transmitted through the oor due, the GNIS will reduce
these to give a superior oat experience.
When installing, the heavy GNIS board is placed down
where the standard insulation would be tted, the insu-
lation panel is thinner to account for the height differ-
ence.
The GNIS system will only work on the parts that
are then resting on top of the board. The side panels
around the Tranquillity do not sit on the board. It is very
important that the side panels do not touch the tub any-
where. The pump and sits on the oor and is connected
to the tub through a rubber hose, as is the lter housing
return pipe - these are the only parts that connect the
isolated tub to the ground.
The GNIS board can be seen here with the insulation,
silicone heater mats and heaters ready for the tub to
be placed down.

The Skimmer and Pre-Filter
The skimmer is located at the back of the tub and is made of white plastic with a slot indicating the
correct water level (½” above the bottom of the slot) but is not shipped attached to the tub.
Remove it from the accessories box and put it in place as seen on the right hand photo below.
You will rst need to attach the skimmer to its clip (photo below left) at the top and then push the
bottom section over the prelter which comes attached to the tub (shown below in the middle), us-
ing some force. The prelter prevents debris such as earplugs entering the pump.
The skimmer’s correct position is ush against the tub (as shown below right). Do not be afraid to
give it a good strong “hit” to get it into its correct place. The skimmer and prelter must be re-
moved once per week for cleaning in soapy water.
The Dome
When the tub has been cleaned, carry the dome in and
place it carefully onto the tub. Note that the dome can be
removed for cleaning by lifting, even after the door is
tted.
Note : when in operation, Do not leave the dome off for
a prolonged period, when not in a oat session, the door
automatically closes if left open too long.
The Door
Bring in the door carefully and place it onto the dome. The
hinges are tted to the door and will need to be guided
into the mounting holes at the back of the tub.

The Hinges
The door is held by two hinges which come tted to the door. They must be inserted into the pre-
drilled holes in the corners of the tub. This photo shows the hinge as it comes attached to the
door.
To t the hinges, on each side :
1. Remove the lower long M10 nut from the retaining bolt and
the bottom washer.
2. Lift one end of the door a little, so that the bolt can enter the
hole in the tub leaving the top washer to sit on top of the back
corner of the tub.
3. Add the washer underneath and the long nut and tighten by
hand.
4. Repeat on the other hinge.
5. Check the door opening manually.
6. Place a towel over the back of the dome to act as a spacer
and close the door.
7. The hinges can be fully adjusted. The nuts securing the
hinges to the tub are also used to adjust the height of the door.
The two adjacent nuts towards the top of the hinge are used to
adjust the door backwards and forwards.
8. After testing whether the door opens and closed correctly,
adjust if necessary, and fully tighten all the bolts using the two
17mm spanners provided in the accessories box. Check once
the control box is connected before you t the side panels.
9. Check that the hinges are well located on the 8mm pins of
the door and retained by spring “push on” retainers as shown
on the photo below right. These have been factory installed.
10. Recheck the door opening and remove the towel.
The photo on the right shows the installed
hinge in its correct position.

The Suction Assembly and Pump Connections
Carry in the pump and the suction hose and place it behind
the tub, leaving at least 10” behind the tub to the back wall.
The 1 1/2” black rubber hose forms the suction assembly
which connects the tank outlet to the pump. The tub tting
includes a plastic tube outlet and elbows
The photos show a 220v TE6 pump, depending on your
specication your pump may be different.
Fit the 1 1/2” rubber hose to the plastic tube and position
two hose clips as shown in the photo above right, pushing
the hose fully onto the pipe. Tighten the clips around the
hose using the hose clip driver (7mm) provided.
Check before connecting, that all the hose clips are aligned
so that they can be tightened easily and that they can be
easily reached in the future. When the water has heated
up, it is necessary to re-test the tension on these ttings
The Filter Connections and Back Panel
Bring in the back panel with its lter housing and auto-
dosing unit already tted. Position it behind the tub.
You should leave at least 10” to the back wall for future
maintenance work.
Note: the lter inlet is at the top. The exit tube is at the
bottom of the lter housing. Connect the pump outlet to the
top of the lter, as shown in the photo on the right.
Then connect the hose from the UV lter (optional) to the
bottom of the lter housing as shown on the photo here :
Each tube connection has two clips for reliability.
Make sure all the pipe clips are tight.

Water Isolation Check
If servicing is required after installation (for example to change a pump), two threaded plugs are
tted to the back panel which can be screwed into the suction and water delivery ttings inside
the tank to shut off the water ow to the pipes and pump. The photos below show the pre-lter
removed behind the skimmer and the plug screwed into the pre-lter’s place.
The jet also unscrews, as shown in the photo, to allow one of the two plugs provided to be put in
its place to shut off the water supply when changing or servicing a pump.
Remove the ball of the
water jet by rotating the
retaining ring
Remove the
skimmer and
the pre lter
Once the jet tting and the pre lter are removed it is possible to
use the isolation bungs supplied, they simply screw into the tting
and hold the water in the tank; they do not need to be very tight.
This is useful if you need to work on the technical parts with water
in the pool.
The Jacks
The jacks (lift motors) open the door and are supplied
tted to the tub and to their brackets at the back of the
tank.
If you must remove the jacks, please note :
One has a longer cable to reach to the far side from the
control box, which is on the suction side of the tub.
Make sure the jack brackets are tight.
