Installation instruction

Inspection before installation

Although all our massage bathtubs are water tested before they leave our factory, there may be some loose hose connections due to the transport. We need to water-test the product before installation. The steps are as follows:
a. Place the tub on a flat surface in an area where it may be drained after testing. And adjust the feet to make the bathtub level;
b. Check if there is any loss of all the connection systems;
c. Close the door, fill the tub with water to the overflow, and allow standing for 10 minutes to inspect the tub for leaks;
d. Insert the plug, start all the functions for a few minutes (which includes the functions of massage, air bubble, heater, and so on), and inspect the tub completely any defect must be reported to your dealer/distributor prior to installation in order to have it covered under warranty.

Adjust the leveling feet

According to the different sizes of bathtubs, we designed several leveling feet to adjust the bathtub.
Please use a wrench or level ruler to level the bathtub.
Note: If the bathtub is not level, it may lead:
noise increased;
the remaining water in the hoses or the drainage;
bathtub shaking:

How to connect the water?

For ease of use, our bathtub is equipped with stainless steel cold and hot water hoses (connector of 1/2″). Please connect the cold and hot water hoses to the bathroom’s cold and hot water hoses accordingly.
Before connecting the bathtub water inlet pipe, first, open the water pipe for a period of time, then put a filter screen to ensure that the debris will not enter the bathtub pipe. So that we can effectively extend the life of the fitting.
Insert the drain pipe into the drain hole on the floor, and then cover it with a water retaining cover to prevent wastewater from spilling.

Notice

The red hose stands for hot water hose; the blue hose stands for cold water hose;
Drain-pipe should be installed with a slope above 1:50;
Do not hold the drain pipe and cold/hot water hoses when moving the bathtub, and do not crash it with hard objects.
The bathtub must be connected to the ground. The power outlet must be sealed well.
Make sure the surface of each wire is intact.
The power connection requires professional operation, we are not responsible for the operation by yourself The plug is with leakage protection
