Push button controls on Ella's Bubbles walk-in tubs work with pneumatic pressure. This video demonstrates how to relieve an air lock and ensure proper function of the push button controls.
Push button controls on Ella walk-in tubs, such as those for chromotherapy or air massage pumps, operate using pneumatic pressure. A red connection tube links the push button to the control box. For proper function, the red tube must be securely connected to both the control box and the push button, with a tight connection at the locking nut.
When the push button is pressed, it creates pneumatic pressure that activates a relay switch inside the control box. If a push button is stuck in the down position, this indicates an air lock problem. To relieve an air lock, simply disconnect the red tube from the control box, and the button will pop up.
After reconnecting the red tube to the control box, pushing the button should produce an audible clicking sound from inside the control box. This clicking sound confirms that the relay is being activated, indicating the push button control is functioning correctly.
