Visual Inspection
Bathtub Water and Operational Test
All bathtub units are factory tested for proper operation and watertight connections prior to shipping. However, the unit must be
retested by the installer prior to installation. Jacuzzi Luxury Bath is not responsible for any defect that could have been discovered,
repaired, or avoided by following this inspection and testing procedure:
1
Place the bathtub on a level surface, near appropriate water supply, and water drainage. A driveway is a suitable choice.
2
Cover the drain and overflow hole with tape or a stopper and fill the bathtub to the bottom of the overflow hole.
3
Allow bathtub to stand for 5 minutes.
4
Visually inspect for leaks. Do not install the bathtub if leaks are detected.
5
Return bathtub to packaging or otherwise protect from damage until time of installation.
1
Remove the bathtub from the shipping packaging. Be careful not to scratch the surface of the bathtub from exposed staples,
screws, or nails. Retain the packaging until satisfactory inspection of the product has been made.
2
Inspect the shell and bathtub components. Should inspection reveal any damage or defect in the finish or visible damage to
any components, do not install the bathtub. Damage or defect to the finish claimed after the bathtub is installed is excluded
from the warranty. Jacuzzi Luxury Bath responsibility for shipping damage ceases upon delivery of the products in good order
to the carrier.
3
Refer any claims for damage to the carrier. For definitions of warranty coverage and limitations, refer to the published
warranty information packed with the product or in the back of this manual. Please Note: Blemishes, air holes, or casting
marks on the underside of the bath are not considered defects and do not affect performance or quality of bath.
