Setup & Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your Empava Freestanding Bathtub. Please follow these steps carefully.
1. Unpacking
Remove the bathtub from its carton. Move it to the desired installation position. Ensure the bathtub does not come into contact with rough surfaces. Always place the bathtub on cardboard or a soft mat during handling to prevent scratches.

2. Leveling the Bathtub
Adjust the feet to ensure the bathtub is perfectly level. This is critical for proper drainage. Only when the bathtub is level will water drain to the waste outlet efficiently. Ensure all legs are adjusted in line with the base of the tub.

3. Connecting the Drain
Place the drain extension and connect it to the water outlet. Ensure a secure and watertight connection to prevent leaks.

4. Water Test
Perform a final drain test. Ensure that the thin masking plastic that adhered to the tub during manufacture has been removed. Fill the tub with water and check that all water flows freely to the drain. Small amounts of water may pool due to surface tension, which is normal.
