4. Setup and Installation
Installation of the WOODBRIDGE BJ300 bathtub requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes. It is strongly recommended that installation be performed by licensed professionals (plumber and electrician).
4.1 Pre-Installation Checks

- Plumbing: Verify hot and cold water supply lines are accessible and correctly sized. Ensure the drain connection point is prepared.
- Electrical: Confirm three dedicated 15AMP 120V GFCI-protected outlets are available near the installation site, as specified in the safety information.
- Unpacking: Carefully unpack the bathtub and inspect for any shipping damage. Report any damage immediately.
4.2 Installation Steps
- Positioning: Carefully move the bathtub to its desired location. Ensure there is adequate space for maintenance access if needed.
- Leveling: Adjust the bathtub's feet to ensure it is perfectly level.
- Drain Connection: Connect the pre-assembled chrome finish drain and overflow to your floor drain system. Ensure all connections are watertight.
- Water Supply: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the bathtub's faucet (if integrated) or prepare for external faucet installation.
- Electrical Hookup: A qualified electrician must connect the bathtub's power cords to the dedicated GFCI outlets. Refer to the wiring diagram in the full user manual for specific connections.
- Test Run: Fill the bathtub with water and check for leaks. Test all functions (whirlpool, air bubble, heater, lights) to ensure proper operation.
