The supporting sub-floor must be able to support the total weight of the bathtub, bather and water and must meet local construction code requirements. Use a level and make sure that the sub-floor below the tub is leveled. If the floor is not perfectly level, adjust the appropriate leveling legs to re-align the tub to perfect level.
Door and Frame Adjustments Your walk in bathtub has been tested and leveled properly before leaving our facility. Our walk in bathtubs have been set on a perfectly level surface to ensure no leaks and proper door closing. It is up to your installer to test and make any adjustments necessary to ensure that all leveling legs support the tub frame and that the door is aligned correctly to prevent any leaks. The door must close smoothly to create a water tight seal.
