Possibly, since they do make a whirlpool version of the same tub.

This makes sense... except that step 2 is to make sure the floor is
level. Obviously, it's a complete waste of time to level the floor if
nothing is going to be touching it... which gets to my real concern with
these installations notes. I'm pretty sure whoever wrote them has no idea
what they're talking about. ( The top of the stringers are supposed to 13
5/8" off the floor... or 18 3/4", depending on whether you trust the spec
document or the install doc. )
