22 Gallon Mobile Extremity Whirlpool, M22EWHM

Question
Do the extremity whirlpools include a heating element, or can one be added Or is the water temp only whatever comes out of the source and then cools to room temp Thank you.

Answer
There unfortunately is no heating element that is included or can be added to our whirlpools.  The water that is placed in the whirlpool will maintain its temperature for a short time period as the tub is self-insulating, but will eventually lose its warmth and cool to room temperature.

2 Ft x 2 Ft w/ 45 Degree Bend Cubicle Track, 54WTF2X2PUSCCF

Question
Does the this mean there is 2 ft on each side of the 45 degree bend or is is 2 ft long total, Do any carriers come with the track Or are all carriers additional? How do you suspend the track? I have 12 ft high ceilings. Do you need a rigid suspension rod or will chains work?

Answer

• 2x2ft 45 degree means that 4 feet of track were bent into a 45 degree angle.
• Carriers come included with the track.
• We would recommend for the track to be attached directly to the ceiling, although a rigid rod may work as well.  Ceiling attachment hardware does not come with the track and depends on the ceiling type.
• Maximum vertical height for curtains is 120 inches.
