Setup and Installation
Professional installation is recommended for this product.
Pre-Installation Checklist:
- Inspect the tub for any damage prior to installation.
- Ensure all necessary plumbing connections (hot/cold water supply, drain) are available and correctly positioned.
- Confirm the floor is level and capable of supporting the tub's weight.
- Gather all required tools and materials as per your plumber's recommendations.
Installation Steps (General Guide):
- Positioning: Carefully place the tub in its desired location, ensuring proper clearance from walls and other fixtures.
- Drain Connection: Connect the tub's toe-tap drain assembly to the floor drain. Ensure all connections are watertight.
- Overflow Connection: Connect the integrated slotted overflow to the drain system.
- Water Supply (if applicable): If using a deck-mounted or wall-mounted faucet, ensure it is installed according to its own instructions and connected to the water supply.
- Leveling: Adjust the tub's feet (if present) to ensure it is perfectly level.
- Sealing: Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the base of the tub where it meets the floor to prevent water seepage.
- Test: Fill the tub with water and check for any leaks around the drain and overflow connections.

Maintenance and Care
Proper care will maintain the beauty and performance of your stone resin bathtub.
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the tub regularly with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap or cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with water after cleaning.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive powders, scouring pads, or cleaners containing ammonia, bleach, or acids, as these can damage the matte finish.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive liquid cleaner specifically designed for solid surfaces can be used. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Repairing Scratches: Minor scratches or dull spots on the stone resin surface can often be repaired by gently sanding with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 2000-grit) followed by polishing with a non-abrasive polishing compound. Consult a professional for deeper damage.
- Preventing Yellowing: The material is designed to be yellowing resistant. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight if possible, though this is typically not an issue for indoor bathtubs.
