4. Setup and Installation

This freestanding bathtub requires careful placement and connection to your plumbing system. Professional installation is strongly advised.

Installation Steps (General Guide):

  1. Site Preparation: Ensure the installation area is level, clean, and has adequate structural support for the tub's weight when filled. Verify access to drain and water supply lines.
  2. Positioning: Carefully move the bathtub to its desired location. Due to its weight (136.7 pounds), it is recommended to have multiple people assist.
  3. Leveling: Use a level to ensure the tub is perfectly level. Adjust the integrated leveling feet if necessary to prevent rocking and ensure proper drainage.
  4. Drain Connection: Connect the bathtub's drain assembly to your floor drain. Ensure all connections are secure and watertight to prevent leaks.
  5. Overflow Connection: Connect the integrated overflow to the drain system as per plumbing codes.
  6. Water Supply: Connect your chosen faucet (not included) to the hot and cold water supply lines according to the faucet manufacturer's instructions.
  7. Leak Test: Once all connections are made, fill the tub with water and inspect all plumbing connections for any signs of leaks. Allow water to drain completely to check drain function.
  8. Final Placement: Secure the tub in place if required by local codes or personal preference.

Refer to the product dimensions diagram (Image 5 in Product Overview) for precise measurements and planning.

5. Operating Instructions

Operating your Simpol Home bathtub is straightforward:

  • Filling the Tub: Open the hot and cold water valves on your faucet to achieve the desired water temperature. The tub has an 80-gallon capacity.
  • Soaking: The double-walled insulation design helps retain warm water for an extended period, enhancing your bathing experience.
  • Draining: To drain the tub, activate the pop-up drain mechanism. The integrated slotted overflow will prevent overfilling.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance will preserve the beauty and longevity of your acrylic bathtub.

  • Regular Cleaning: For daily cleaning, use a soft cloth or sponge with mild, non-abrasive soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
  • Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool, or harsh chemicals (e.g., acetone, paint thinner, strong acids, or alkalis) as these can damage the acrylic surface.
  • Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, a diluted solution of household bleach (1 part bleach to 10 parts water) can be used, but rinse immediately and thoroughly.
  • Prevent Scratches: Avoid dropping sharp or heavy objects into the tub. Do not use the tub as a work surface.
  • Drain Maintenance: Periodically remove hair and debris from the drain to ensure proper flow.
  • Polishing: To maintain the high-gloss finish, you may occasionally use a non-abrasive acrylic polish.
