Serenity DriftBath Owner's Manual & Installation Guide
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STRUCTURAL PREPARATION (CONTINUED):
6. Another installation option is that of a tile flange. Aquatic offers a factory installed tile flange for all rectangular and
corner-unit tubs.
7. Install the bath unit per the instructions provided in this manual.
CAUTION: THE TILE FLANGE DOES NOT SUPPORT THE TUB! A ledger board must be provided under the bath
rim as indicated in the installation instructions. Take care to ensure tub is not hanging from the ledger boards, as this
will void your warranty.
8. Use nails or screws to secure the flange into the studs around the bath.
NOTE: Before tub is used, the DriftBath system should be cleaned in accordance with the procedures on
page 17 of this manual.
9. Install water resistant drywall against the tile flange and flush to the top of the tub deck. Install the tile or other
finishing materials. Apply a second bead of silicone between the first course of tile and the bath deck.

PLUMBING:

1. After securing tub in place, normal waste and overflow, water spout and valves are installed per normal plumbing
procedures, in accordance with all state and local standards.
2. Install standard 1-1/2" trap to drain and overflow. Before proceeding, make final operational check by filling tub with
water to overflow and operate pump for 5 minutes. Check for leaks carefully both while pump is running and has been
turned off. Allow water to stand in tub for at least 30 minutes before draining. AQUATIC WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR WATER DAMAGE OF ANY KIND IN CONNECTION WITH ONE OF OUR BATHS.
3. When selecting fill spout location, check to ensure that spout is long enough to clear the tub rim from its desired
location. If installation is to be on the tub deck, check the back side of tub for adequate space for connection to
water lines before drilling or cutting tub.
4. A service access panel of a minimum of a 16" square must be provided adjacent to motor/pump/heater assembly.
