Leak Test

After the bathtub has been installed in its permanent location, perform the Final Leak Test. Fill the bathtub to the
overflow level and let it sit for twenty-four hours. If water has splashed onto the outside of the bathtub, dry it before
letting it sit.
Observe all connections for leakage once the water has been turned ON. If leakage does occur, turn off the water
immediately and retighten all fittings.
After twenty-four hours, if there is no water leakage, remove the protective film that covers the bathtub surfaces.
Remove the water through the drain and clean the bathtub according to the cleaning instructions in the "Maintenance"
section.

Cleaning and maintenance

damage to the bathtub finish will occur.
Always clean your bathtub immediately after use. This makes it easier to clean and provides best results. Use a soft
cotton cloth with a mild soap. Harsh or abrasive cleaners can harm the bathtub finish.
Use soap to clean the bathtub and never use a harsh or abrasive cleaner. Soap is effective to clean the bathtub
and it does not harm the bathtub finish.
