If a product is defective, please contact the company before installation. The installer will be held responsible for any breakage or damages following the use of a defective product. To protect the unit during installation, place a cardboard in the bottom of the bathtub. Verify that the bathroom floor is leveled and strong enough to support a minimum weight of 1500 lbs, reinforce the existing flooring if needed. It is IMPORTANT to verify the drain location (it can be place of the left, middle of right) before drilling a hole in the floor. It is important to provide an access near the plumbing, pump and/or control boxes allowing to easily disassemble and/or repair these components.
