Setup and Installation

Follow these steps carefully for proper installation of your freestanding bathtub. It is highly recommended to watch the installation video for visual guidance.

1. Preparation:
   • Ensure the installation area is clean, dry, and level.
   • Confirm that the floor drain is correctly positioned for the bathtub's drain location (left drain placement for VA6310-L).
   • Unpack the bathtub and all components. Inspect for any damage.
2. Install Pop-up Drain Assembly:
   • Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the top flange of the pop-up drain.
   • Insert the drain assembly into the bathtub's drain hole from the inside.
   • From underneath the tub, secure the drain assembly with the provided gasket and nut. Tighten firmly with a wrench, but do not overtighten.
3. Connect Flexible Drain Hose:
   • Attach one end of the flexible drain hose to the pop-up drain assembly underneath the tub. Ensure a secure, watertight connection.
   • Connect the other end of the flexible drain hose to your floor drain plumbing. Use appropriate adapters and sealant as needed to ensure a leak-free connection.
4. Position and Level the Bathtub:
   • Carefully move the bathtub into its final desired position.
   • Use a spirit level to check if the bathtub is perfectly level. Adjust the integrated leveling feet underneath the tub as necessary until it is stable and level in all directions.

5. Seal the Base:
   • Once the tub is level and all plumbing connections are secure, apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant around the entire perimeter of the bathtub's base where it meets the floor. This will prevent water from seeping underneath and provide a finished look.
   • Allow the sealant to cure completely according to the manufacturer's instructions before filling the tub with water.

Operating Instructions

Using your Vanity Art freestanding bathtub is straightforward. Ensure the drain is closed before filling.

• Filling the Tub: Turn on your faucet to fill the tub with water to your desired level and temperature. The deep soaking depth of 16.9 inches allows for full body immersion.
• Soaking: Enjoy your bath. The acrylic material is designed to retain heat, keeping your water warm for longer periods.
• Draining: To drain the tub, open the pop-up drain. The flexible drain hose facilitates efficient water removal.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and proper care will help maintain the pristine condition and longevity of your Vanity Art bathtub.

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, rinse the tub thoroughly with warm water to remove soap residue and bath oils. Wipe down with a soft cloth or sponge.
• Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, use a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner specifically designed for acrylic surfaces. Apply with a soft cloth or sponge, rinse thoroughly, and dry.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, wire brushes, or harsh chemicals (e.g., acetone, paint thinner, strong acids/alkalis) as these can damage the acrylic surface and its stain-resistant properties.
• Prevent Scratches: Avoid dropping sharp or heavy objects into the tub. Use a bath mat if desired, but ensure it is designed for acrylic tubs and does not trap moisture.
• Drain Care: Periodically clean the pop-up drain to prevent clogs from hair and soap buildup.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your bathtub, refer to the common problems and solutions below. For persistent issues, contact customer support.

• Slow Draining:
  • Check the pop-up drain for hair or debris buildup. Clean as necessary.
  • Ensure the flexible drain hose is not kinked or obstructed.
• Leaks Around Drain:
  • Verify that the drain assembly nuts are securely tightened.
  • Check the silicone sealant around the drain for any gaps or cracks. Reapply if needed.

• Bathtub is Not Level/Wobbly:
