SERVICE

 

ACCESS

 

AND

 

VENTILATION:

 

It

 

is

 

the

 

responsibility

 

of

 

the

 

installer

 

or

 

owner

 

to

 

provide

 

access

 

for

 

service

 

required,

 

per

 

code.

   

Ella’s

 

Bubbles

 

is

 

not

 

responsible

 

for

 

any

 

costs

 

related

 

to

 

obtaining

 

access

 

for

 

repair.

  

The

 

owner

 

shall

 

assume

 

responsibility

 

for

 

such

 

costs,

 

and

 

if

 

appropriate,

 

must

 

seek

 

recovery

 

from

 

the

 

installer.

 

DOOR

 

AND

 

SEAL:

      

Please

 

keep

 

in

 

mind

 

that

 

the

 

door

 

has

 

been

 

closed

 

for

 

an

 

extended

 

period

 

of

 

time

 

throughout

 

shipping

 

and

 

the

 

tub

 

has

 

been

 

stored

 

in

 

various

 

temperatures.

  

When

 

the

 

tub

 

is

 

received,

 

the

 

door

 

seal

 

must

 

be

 

reformed

 

and

 

adjusted,

 

as

 

it

 

may

 

have

 

possibly

 

stuck

 

to

 

the

 

frame

 

throughout

 

storage

 

and

 

shipping

 

in

 

various

 

temperatures.

  

In

 

cases

 

such

 

as

 

these,

 

the

 

door

 

seal

 

must

 

be

 

released

 

and

 

rested

 

with

 

the

 

door

 

open.

  

It

 

can

 

be

 

done

 

by

 

squeezing

 

the

 

seal

 

with

 

your

 

finger

 

tips

 

and

 

pulling

 

it

 

away

 

from

 

the

 

door

 

frame

 

to

 

regain

 

its

 

flexibility

 

and

 

original

 

form.

  

It

 

is

 

highly

 

suggested

 

that

 

the

 

door

 

be

 

kept

 

in

 

the

 

open

 

position

 

while

 

the

 

tub

 

is

 

not

 

in

 

use

 

to

 

increase

 

the

 

lifetime

 

of

 

the

 

door

 

seal

 

and

 

maintain

 

its

 

flexibility.

 

 

 

 

TESTING

 

YOUR

 

WALK

 

IN

 

TUB

 

 

All

 

walk

in

 

bathtubs

 

are

 

factory

 

tested

 

for

 

proper

 

operation

 

and

 

watertight

 

connections

 

prior

 

the

 

packing

 

and

 

shipping.

 

However,

 

the

 

unit

 

must

 

be

 

retested

 

by

 

installer

 

prior

 

to

 

installation.

  

Ella’s

 

Bubbles

 

is

 

not

 

responsible

 

for

 

any

 

defect

 

that

 

could

 

have

 

been

 

discovered,

 

repaired,

 

or

 

avoided

 

by

 

following

 

this

 

inspection

 

and

 

testing

 

procedure.

 

1.

 

Place

 

the

 

walk

in

 

bathtub

 

on

 

a

 

level

 

surface

 

near

 

appropriate

 

water

 

and

 

electrical

 

supply

 

and

 

drainage.

  

It

 

can

 

be

 

done

 

in

 

homeowner’s

 

driveway

 

or

 

in

 

the

 

bathroom,

 

as

 

well.

 

2.

 

If

 

the

 

tub

 

comes

 

with

 

a

 

flex

 

drain,

 

connect

 

it

 

to

 

the

 

existing

 

home

 

drain.

  

If

 

not,

 

run

 

a

 

temporary

 

drain.

 

Fill

 

up

 

the

 

water

 

2

 

inches

 

below

 

to

 

overflow

 

hole.

 

3.

 

Do

 

not

 

install

 

the

 

bathtub

 

if

 

leaks

 

are

 

detected.

 

Caution:

 

If

 

walk

in

 

bathtub

 

is

 

not

 

resting

 

on

 

all

 

six

 

leveling

 

feet,

 

water

 

will

 

not

 

drain

 

properly

 

and

 

may

 

cause

 

the

 

door

 

to

 

leak.

  

Never

 

allow

 

the

 

weight

 

of

 

the

 

tub

 

to

 

be

 

supported

 

by

 

wood

 

support

 

stringers

 

as

 

this

 

will

 

result

 

in

 

product

 

failure

 

and

 

void

 

the

 

warranty.

  

Verify

 

the

 

product

 

is

 

completely

 

level

 

by

 

checking

 

the

 

tub

 

deck

 

surface

 

and

 

ensure

 

all

 

7

 

leveling

 

feet

 

are

 

touching

 

the

 

ground.

  

Every

 

tub

 

is

 

100%

 

water

 

tested

 

at

 

the

 

factory

 

with

 

all

 

pumps

 

in

 

working

 

condition.

  

However,

 

transporting

 

or

 

carrying

 

the

 

tub

 

may

 

cause

 

loose

 

fittings,

 

possible

 

damages,

 

or

 

leaks.

  

It

 

is

 

the

 

contractor’s

 

responsibility

 

to

 

water

 

test

 

the

 

bathtub

 

with

 

all

 

pumps

 

running

 

prior

 

to

 

finishing

 

the

 

tub

 

and

 

wall

 

installation.

  

The

 

contractor

 

must

 

make

 

sure

 

that

 

all

 

fittings

 

by

 

the

 

pumps

 

are

 

retightened

 

and

 

the

 

tub

 

is

 

leak

 

proof.

  

Any

 

water

 

or

 

air

 

jets

 

can

 

be

 

retightened

 

to

 

stop

 

the

 

leaks.
