Installation Guide

Follow these step-by-step instructions for proper installation of your freestanding bathtub. It is recommended to have two people for installation due to the size and weight of the tub.

1. Site Preparation

• Ensure the installation area is clean and level.
• Confirm that the floor can support the total weight of the bathtub, water, and user (over 1000 lbs).
• Verify the correct installation of the floor drain pipe and the water inlet pipe for the faucet.
• Gather all necessary tools: blanket for protection, towel, drain connection pipe (not included), pencil, tape measure, silicone sealant, caulk gun, adjustable wrench, locking pliers, spirit level, and two wooden squares for support.

2. Drain Assembly

• Lay the bathtub on its side on a protective blanket to prevent scratches.
• Thread the drain hose from the inside of the tub through the tub drain hole.
• Apply silicone sealant around the drain hole to ensure a watertight seal.
• Tighten the drain nut with an adjustable wrench.

3. Positioning and Leveling

• Carefully position the bathtub so that its drain aligns with the subsurface drain.
• Use a pencil to mark the outline of the bathtub on the floor.
• Tilt the bathtub sideways again and connect the drain connection pipe, wrapping raw tape if necessary, then tighten with lock pliers.
• Lift the bathtub and slowly insert the drain connection pipe into the underground drain. Tighten the nut under the drain connection pipe after insertion.
• Place the bathtub on the floor. Use a spirit level to check if the bathtub is horizontally and vertically level. Adjust the adjustable feet at the bottom of the tub as needed to achieve a level position.

4. Sealing and Final Steps

• Once the bathtub is level, apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant along the edge where the bottom of the tub meets the floor.
• Connect the bathtub faucet to the adjustable hot and cold water lines.
• Fill the tub with water and close the drain. Check for any leaks around the drain and connections. Then open the drain to ensure proper drainage.
• Allow the sealant to cure completely according to the manufacturer's instructions before using the bathtub.

Operation

Your ADECAB freestanding bathtub is designed for a comfortable soaking experience. To operate:

1. Ensure the drain pop-up assembly is in the closed position.
2. Fill the bathtub with water to your desired level using the faucet. The integrated overflow prevents overfilling.
3. After use, press the drain pop-up assembly to open the drain and allow water to empty.

Maintenance and Care

To maintain the pristine condition and longevity of your ADECAB bathtub, follow these care instructions:

• Cleaning: The acrylic surface is easy to clean. For daily cleaning, use a soft cloth, water, and a mild, non-abrasive soap or shower gel. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
• Stain Resistance: The tub features a stain-resistant surface. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive liquid cleaner specifically designed for acrylic bathtubs.
• Scratch Resistance: While the surface is scratch-resistant, avoid dropping heavy or sharp objects into the tub.
• Heat Retention: The double-walled reinforced design provides maximum insulation, keeping water at its desired temperature longer.
• Long-lasting Finish: The high-grade acrylic material is designed to retain its brilliant white finish and sheen for years without discoloring.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your ADECAB bathtub, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Leakage: If you notice any leaks after installation, immediately drain the tub. Re-check all drain connections, ensuring they are tightly secured and that sufficient sealant was applied. If the leak persists, contact customer service.
• Drain Malfunction: If the pop-up drain is not opening or closing properly, inspect for any obstructions or debris. Ensure the mechanism is clean and free of foreign objects.
• Unstable Tub: If the tub feels unstable or wobbly, re-check the leveling feet at the bottom. Adjust them until the tub is firmly seated and level on the floor.
• Surface Scratches/Dullness: For minor scratches or dull spots, specialized acrylic repair kits or polishing compounds can be used. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

For issues not covered here, or if solutions do not resolve the problem, please contact ADECAB Customer Service.
