Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your ANZZI walk-in tub.

- Door Seal Care: Inspect the door seal regularly for any signs of wear or damage. Keep the seal clean and free of debris to ensure a watertight closure. Avoid using harsh cleaners on the seal.
