4. Setup and Installation
This section outlines the general steps for installing your freestanding bathtub. Specific plumbing configurations may vary. Always consult a licensed plumber.
4.1 Pre-Installation Checklist
- Ensure the installation area is clean, level, and structurally sound.
- Confirm that hot and cold water supply lines and a drain pipe are correctly positioned according to local plumbing codes.
- Unpack the bathtub and inspect for any shipping damage.
4.2 Installation Steps
- Positioning the Bathtub: Carefully move the bathtub to its desired location. Ensure there is adequate space around the tub for cleaning and maintenance.
- Adjusting Leveling Feet: Use a level to ensure the bathtub is perfectly level. Adjust the leveling feet located on the bottom of the tub as needed. This is crucial for proper drainage and stability.
- Connecting Drain and Overflow: Connect the flexible drain hose from the bathtub's drain assembly to your floor drain pipe. Ensure all connections are secure and watertight. Install the overflow assembly according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring a tight seal.
- Water Test: Fill the bathtub with water and let it sit for at least 10 minutes. Carefully inspect all drain and overflow connections for any leaks. Drain the tub and re-inspect. Address any leaks immediately before proceeding.
- Sealing (Optional but Recommended): Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the base of the bathtub where it meets the floor. This helps prevent water from seeping underneath and provides additional stability. Allow the sealant to cure completely before use.

5. Operating Instructions
- Filling the Bathtub: Ensure the drain stopper is closed. Turn on the water supply to fill the tub to your desired level. Always check the water temperature before entering.
- Soaking Experience: The ergonomic deep design and integrated lumbar support are crafted for comfort. The double-walled insulation helps maintain water temperature for extended soaking periods.
- Draining the Bathtub: Open the drain stopper to allow water to flow out. The matte drain and overflow system are designed for efficient water removal.
6. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and proper care will preserve the appearance and functionality of your bathtub.
- Cleaning the Surface: Clean the bathtub regularly with a soft cloth or sponge and a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning.
- Avoiding Damage: Do not use abrasive powders, scouring pads, steel wool, or cleaners containing ammonia, bleach, or harsh acids, as these can scratch or dull the acrylic finish and damage the non-slip surface.
- Drain Maintenance: Periodically remove and clean the drain stopper to prevent hair and debris buildup, which can cause slow drainage.
- Non-Slip Surface: The integrated non-slip surface requires no special treatment beyond regular cleaning. Avoid applying waxes or polishes that could reduce its effectiveness.
7. Troubleshooting
Refer to this section for solutions to common issues. For problems not listed here, contact customer support or a qualified professional.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Slow Drainage | Hair or debris in drain; improper drain connection. | Clean drain stopper and trap. Check drain hose for kinks or blockages. Ensure proper slope of drain pipe. |
| Leaks around drain/overflow | Loose connections; damaged seals. | Tighten all drain and overflow connections. Inspect and replace any damaged gaskets or seals. Reapply plumber's putty or silicone sealant if necessary. |
| Bathtub is unstable/wobbles | Uneven floor; leveling feet not properly adjusted. | Adjust the leveling feet until the bathtub is stable and level on all sides. Ensure the floor is capable of supporting the tub's weight. |
| Water temperature not maintained | External factors; extreme room temperature. | The double-walled insulation is designed to retain heat. Ensure the bathroom is not excessively cold. This is a passive insulation system, not an active heater. |
