Sometimes installing tub with a door can become very complicated and difficult task. The main worry of the installer and contractor of the walk in bathtub is, that tub will fit the common US 60 inch bathtub and how tough it will be to place and attach all the wiring and plumbing of this bathtub?

The mostly salespersons of the walk in bathtub provide products which are manufactured outside of the country. And these products do not stick on the US plumbing, safety and protection standards. Installing that walk in bathtub which is manufactured outside the country can be very complicated and painful for the installer and the homeowner as well.

That is why we encourage the customers to contact the facility prior to buying their tub with a door and ensure that the bathtub will be transported with all the essential documents such as instructional manual and plumbing certificates. First of all you must examine and inspect the walk in bathtub for any damages that might have been occurred during the transportation. You should inspect for any visual damage before unpacking the walk in tub. The installer of this bathtub should also carefully take a look on scratches and dents of the bathtub.

Usually the walk in bathtub is manufactured with fiberglass and heavy duty materials. The plumbing connections of this bathtub are very complicated so that is why the installer must handle this with a lot of care. These expensive bathtubs should never be lifted without the plumbing connections. When bathtubs is arrived safely then you should do further testing. You need a flat platform or ground to allow the access to walk in tub from all sides to check the leakage of the tub and complete testing.

Place this walk in bathtub on the evenly leveled ground and then close all the drains and filled the walk in bathtub with water. To inspect the leakage of bathtub, you should fill this bathtub with water for approximately thirty minutes. If the bathtub has hydrotherapy jets then supply the electricity to the bathtub for approximately 10 minutes to inspect the leakage. If the bathtub leaks then you should tight the loose unions around the pumps and make sure O ring is sealed properly.

Lastly, you should check the all the jets of the walk in bathtub functioning and working properly. If the pumps are not working then ensure all the cables are connected.
