WALK-IN TUB MANUAL
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
THANK YOU / CONTACT
DO REGISTER YOUR PRODUCT!
Register your product within 90 days to ensure your bathtub is recognized as an official purchase and is eligible
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.

WALK-IN TUB MANUAL
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.
SAFETY
• 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.
INSTALLATION PREPARATION
Adjust leveling feet as needed making sure all feet are completely
touching the oor. The tub must be completely level to avoid leakage.
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).
