This video demonstrates the drain installation process.

1. Apply silicone sealant to the drain hole area on the underside of the tub.
2. Insert the drain component from the inside of the tub through the drain hole.
3. From the underside, apply sealant to the rubber ring and thread it onto the drain.
4. Tighten the drain nut with an adjustable wrench to ensure a secure, watertight seal.

4.3. Bathtub Positioning and Connection

This video provides a comprehensive guide for the freestanding bathtub installation.

1. Lay the bathtub on its side on a protective blanket to prevent scratches.
2. Thread the drain hose from the inside of the tub through the tub drain hole.
3. Apply silicone along the drain hole to enhance leak tightness.
4. Tighten the drain nut with an adjustable wrench.
5. Carefully position the tub over the subsurface drain, ensuring alignment.
6. Use a pencil to draw a circle on the ground around the base of the bathtub to mark its final position.
7. Tilt the bathtub sideways again.
8. Install the drain connection, wrapping raw tape if necessary for a secure seal. Tighten the drain connection pipe nut with locking pliers.
9. Stick protective tape along the marked pencil line on the floor.
10. Place wooden cubes to support the tub.
11. Align the sealing rubber ring equipped with the drainage connecting pipe with the underground drainage hole.
12. Lift the bathtub and slowly insert the drain connection pipe into the underground drain.
13. Tighten the nut under the drain connection pipe after insertion.
14. Use a spirit level to measure whether the bathtub is placed horizontally and vertically. Adjust the adjustable feet on the bottom of the tub to achieve a horizontal state.
15. Once level, remove the wooden cubes and carefully lower the bathtub into its final position.
16. Apply silicone sealant to the part of the bathtub that touches the floor, along the edge where the bottom of the tub meets the floor.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Filling the Bathtub

Ensure the drain is closed by pressing the pop-up drain mechanism. Turn on the hot and cold water from your bathtub faucet to achieve your desired water temperature and fill the tub.

5.2. Draining the Bathtub

To drain the bathtub, simply press the pop-up drain mechanism again to open the drain. The water will flow out through the connected drainage system.

5.3. Leak Test

After installation and before regular use, fill the tub with water and close the drain. Observe for any water leakage around the drain connection and the base of the tub. Open the drain and observe again. If any leaks are detected, re-tighten connections or re-apply sealant as needed.

6. Maintenance & Cleaning

To maintain the pristine condition of your ADECAB bathtub, follow these cleaning and care guidelines:

• Regular Cleaning: For daily cleaning, use a mild cleaning agent (such as shower gel or a diluted vinegar solution) and a soft cloth or sponge. Wipe down the surface and rinse thoroughly with water.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the glossy acrylic finish.
• Stain Removal: The mirror-like glossy white finish is resistant to most household chemicals and cosmetic products. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for acrylic surfaces.
• Scratch Repair: Minor scratches or stubborn stains can be easily repaired and removed with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 1000-grit or higher) followed by a polishing compound for acrylic.
• Fade Resistance: The 100% new & pure Acrylic material is designed to be fade-resistant and anti-yellowing, ensuring its appearance for years.

7. Troubleshooting

• Drain Blockage: If the drain becomes blocked, it is often due to construction debris. Ensure the drain is clear of foreign objects. Regular cleaning can help prevent build-up.
• Bathtub Not Level: Use a spirit level to check for unevenness. Adjust the adjustable legs on the bottom of the bathtub until it is perfectly level.
• Bathtub Not Fitting Through Door: If the bathtub does not fit through the bathroom door, try a lateral entry. The packaging height is approximately 25 inches, which may allow for easier maneuvering.
• Water Leakage: If water leakage occurs, re-check all drain connections and ensure they are tightly secured. Re-apply silicone sealant if necessary.
