3.3 Drain and Overflow Connection
The bathtub comes equipped with a middle drain and an overflow system. Connect the flexible drain hose to your floor drain according to local plumbing codes. The overflow is designed to prevent water from spilling over the tub's edge if it is overfilled.

5.1 Cleaning the Bathtub
- Clean the bathtub regularly with a soft cloth or sponge and a non-abrasive, mild liquid cleaner.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning to remove all cleaner residue.
- The high-grade acrylic and glossy finish are non-porous and stain-resistant, making cleaning easy.
- Avoid using abrasive powders, steel wool, or harsh chemical cleaners (e.g., acetone, paint thinner, strong acids/bases) as these can damage the acrylic surface.
