Remove the access panels when moving the Walk in Bath and always lift the bathtub from the frame (Page #2). Water Test Fill tub for a minimum of 20 minutes to test that the Hydro Pumps are functioning properly before final in-wall installation to avoid unnecessary repairs or removal.

The specifications and drawings shown below and on page #7 are demonstrative (each model comes with separate specifications, please refer each model's specification). The dual drain can be connected with a “T” or “Y” connection into existing house drain. Proper materials must be used based on local plumbing code requirements. NOTE: Flexible drains are not permitted in some areas.
Preparing the Sub-floor Prepare the sub-floor for the drain and ensure that the area is level. The supporting sub-floor must be able to support the total weight of the bathtub, bather and water. 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.

Ella is not responsible for any costs related to obtaining access for repair. The owner shall assume responsibility for such costs, and if appropriate, must seek recovery from the installer.
