1.3) About the Pedicure Spa Tub
Q: What are the discharge pumps, air vent, and auto fill, what do they do?
A: The discharge pump allows the tub to empty the water through a wall setup, the drain motor can pump up to 4ft height. If you have a floor drain then this is not required. The autofill will automatically fill the tub with water and stop it from overfilling. The air vent will vent out any chemicals or smells that might linger using them. It allows the chemicals to be vented out of the building. Please advise that the air vent installed in the spa base are just the parts for you to connect to your ventilation system in your building. Please make sure your building has built-in ventilation system before you request to add that option in your pedicure spa. We also have a very good blog article with thorough description on how to choose the pedicure chair optional add-ons, check it out here.
Q: How do the Pedicure Chairs drain the water? How does the pump work?
A. There are 2 types of draining applications:
- Standard Gravity Drain Application (Floor Drain): The Pedicure Chair is installed directly to your floor drain if available. Underneath the chair ABS piping and a P-trap (supplied) are connected to your drain underneath the chair or out the back. Similar to any standard bathtub. If you have a floor drain, a discharge pump isn’t 100% needed because gravity pulls the water down the drain. However, if your nail salon does have this plumbing set-up, you can still opt for a discharge pump because it will help your tub drain faster – perfect for busy days!
- Discharge Pump Draining Application (Wall Drain): Due to no drain source available, a discharge pump will be required. With wall drains, you don’t have the benefit of gravity pulling the water down the drain. When the drain control knob is turned the discharge pump will automatically turn on and drains the water to your closest drain source.
Q: Can you use disposable liners with this spa?
A: Yes, you can use disposable liners with most pedicure chairs by Mayakoba, the only exception is ARROJO which is an old model.
Q: Does the footrest adjust up and down for the tech to be comfortable?
A: Yes. It can be adjusted up and down. There is a support under the footrest to lift the pad up. Please refer to the picture of the footrest of our "Florence Pedicure Chair" below.
Q: Does the footrest rise and lower?
A: No, they are stationary, but you can adjust the angle.
Q: Does the chair have the magnet jet you can take off and on?
A: Yes, it has magnet jet.
Q: It says pipe-less, will it connect to sewer and water? What is pipeless jet?
A: The pipe-less only refers to the Magna Jet, you still need to hook it up with your plumbing. Pipeless systems use a unitized jet/filter device that is operated by its own independent motor which does not clog with body hair and dirt. The motor is mounted directly to the tub eliminating the need for pipes. Using a pipeless jet chair reduces the risk of infections, provides a quieter and smoother operation, and low maintenance. You can also read more info about Pipe-less Pedicure Chair here.
Q: How many jets does the tub have?
A: Only 1 jet. And we have all our spas built with the authentic Luraco magnet jet.
Q: What is the process of draining the water out of the tub?
A: If it is plumbed to the floor you turn the knob to open the drain. If it is plumbed to the wall you would push the button for the discharge pump to drain and make sure the drain is open.
Q: So this comes with a discharge pump for a wall drain?
A: If you have a wall drain, you should choose the option of Discharge Pump, and we will build the discharge pump inside the tub for you before shipping out.
