INDOOR INSTALLATION
Water splashing on the floor during use may cause a walking hazard and/or structural damage unless good
drainage is provided. Proper building materials must be used in the area surrounding and beneath the tub.
Take into consideration the room humidity, which will exist due to higher water temperature. Providing natural
or forced ventilation in the room will help maintain comfort and minimize moisture damage to the surrounding
environment. Consult an architect for aid in designing your indoor Softub room.
