THANK YOU & CONTACT INFORMATION

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PURCHASE!

The purchase of a walk-in bathtub is made out of a necessity for safety, comfort and quality of life. It is not a small investment but it

pays for itself by recapturing the peace of mind and freedom you once had.

Our mission is to provide anyone with limited mobility the tools they need to once again enjoy the complete bathing experience.

To help ensure you get the most out of your investment below is list of ESSENTIAL DO’s and DON’Ts that must be kept in mind

during and after your bathtub’s installation.

ESSENTIAL DO’S & DON’TS

DO REGISTER YOUR PRODUCT!

for warranty coverage. Mail the completed registry card (Pg. 2) or register online at www.SWCORP.com/register.

DO LEVEL THE TUB USING THE BUILT-IN LEVELING FEET TO PREVENT DOOR LEAKAGE!

Every walk-in bathtub comes equipped with adjustable leveling feet. THE LEVELING FEET MUST BE ADJUSTED TO

ENSURE THE TUB IS LEVEL AGAINST THE ONSITE FLOOR/SURFACE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN LEAKAGE!

DO REPORT ANY DEFECTS, DAMAGES OR MISSING ITEMS RIGHT AWAY!

Thoroughly review the bathtub and contents of the package. Any defects or damages must be reported within 5

business days of receiving the product.

DON’T LIFT OR PULL THE BATHTUB BY THE PLUMBING!

Every walk-in bathtub is built with a steel support frame. This support frame features a set of handles which

should be used to lift, push and pull the bathtub to ensure no damage is done to the tub body, components or

plumbing.

DON’T LEAN OR SUPPORT YOURSELF ON THE BATHTUB DOOR!

The bathtub door’s alignment is key to providing a watertight seal. Using the door to support your weight or

leaving the door open for extended periods of time will compromise this alignment and possibly lead to leakage.

SAFETY

PRE-INSTALLATION*

* All walk-in bathtubs are 100% water tested at the factory certified to be free of leaks.

Transportation and mishandling may cause leaks. It is necessary to test the bathtub

while there is access to all sides of the bathtub.

TEST THE BATHTUB WHILE YOU HAVE ACCESS TO ALL

SIDES AND BEFORE PERMANENTLY INSTALLED.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

• Place the tub on a completely flat surface in an area where it may be drained after testing.

• Close the drain and fill the tub until it is above the highest jet. If it’s a soaker fill up to normal water height level.

• Allow the water to stand in tub for 30 minutes and then inspect all plumbing and seals for leaks.

• If tub is jetted, supply electric to unit and run for 10 minutes and inspect for leaks. Inspect the unions around the pump; if leaks

persist from the unions after tightening; loosen the unions and insure the O-ring is seated properly.

NOTE: IF THE PUMPS DO NOT OPERATE, CHECK THE BREAKER TO ENSURE POWER IS ON AND THE CABLE CONNECTING THE

CONTROLS TO THE PUMP IS ATTACHED.

WARNING! DO NOT RUN ANY PUMPS UNLESS THE TUB IS FILLED WITH WATER TO PROPER

LEVEL. DAMAGE DUE TO DRY RUNNING PUMPS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. FAILURE TO

PERFORM THESE TESTS BEFORE INSTALLATION WILL MAKE THE INSTALLER LIABLE FOR FUTURE

REPAIR COSTS.

INSTALLATION PREPARATION

A BAD LEVEL WILL MAKE YOUR TUB LEAK!

1. CHECK FLOOR LEVEL

2. ADJUST LEVELING FEET AS NEEDED

Clear the floor of any debris or trash and use a 5-6 foot level to determine if the floor is level. If the

floor is not level, it is imperative that the bathtub’s leveling feet are used to ensure the tub itself is

perfectly level.

Note: it is important that all leveling feet are completely touching the oor and level for the door

system to work properly.

1. Check to ensure that the drain piping has been “roughed-in” at the proper location.

2. Ensure that the proper electrical service has been installed at the pump location. See electrical requirements in the manual (on

following page).

Adjust leveling feet as needed making sure all feet are completely

touching the oor. The tub must be completely level to avoid leakage.

ELECTRICAL PREPARATION

All electrical wiring must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and with all local codes. All wiring shall be done

by a qualified electrician. Run one, two or three branch circuits (as required) from the main electrical service panel to the pump area

of the framing structure to provide power to the unit.

Electrical components have specific wiring requirements. Refer to the matrix below for the electrical supply requirements for the jet

massage bathtub and factory installed components.

Branch circuits must be rated for 110 – 120 volts. Use 12 Gauge, 3 conductor cable for the circuits. If the length run exceeds 100

feet check with local codes for requirements. Install moisture proof junction box(s) 6” above the floor at the pump end of the framing

for each circuit.

NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL THE JUNCTION BOX(S) WHERE IT CAN BE REACHED WHILE SITTING OR STANDING IN THE TUB OR

TOUCHING THE FAUCETS.

• After framing is a complete (see attached diagrams), set product in place to make certain the tub can be

properly leveled. (Caution: If a walk-in bathtub is not resting on all leveling feet, water will not drain properly

and may cause the door to leak) (see page 8).

• Verify the product’s level by checking tub’s deck surface and ensure all leveling feet are touching the

ground (see page 8).

• Electrical connection is made pre-instruction on specified models.

• After plumbing and electrical connections have been made, the tub should be cleaned of dirt and debris.

• Installation is not complete until the tub has been tested in place.
