One 30 AMP GFCI Breaker.

The connection is located behind the shower hot/cold controls which differs per unit. Normally the hot/cold is about 30" from the the floor on the back of the unit.
Flex hoses are included for easy hook ups no matter where your current hot/cold is located. Refer to the listing page of each steam shower for the exact location which can be seen in the diagrams towards the bottom of the page.

The steam generator is located underneath the tub and on certain units, it is placed on the back of the unit.
All generators are mounted to the frame or screwed to the back of the unit so that they do not take up an room beyond the dimensions of the shower.
All of the steam showers will sit flush against the wall.
Do I need an access panel for this Mesa Malibu Whirlpool Tub?
The steam showers are designed to be free standing units so that in case of an issue behind the unit, you can easily slide the unit away from the wall for access.
The plumbing and the electrical connections are flexible so that you can easily make this happen. If at all possible, an access panel is a terrific option in case of any future issues.
