Water inlet and pressure

Jacuzzi plumbing requires adequate water pressure and flow. Low pressure affects jet performance; high pressure can stress seals. Stop valve, flexible connection and filter line should be planned before installation.

  • Hot and cold lines should be within suitable distance of the jacuzzi location.
  • Water treatment / limescale filter extends equipment life long term.
  • Drain line should meet 50 mm waste pipe standard.
