You should confirm:

• Final tub dimensions
• Doorway and delivery access
• Rough plumbing location
• Electrical requirements
• Floor load capacity
• Service access plan
• Installer availability

This avoids the most common delays and expensive reinstall issues.

Yes. Incorrect installation, lack of service access, improper electrical setup, or failure to follow manufacturer guidelines may void portions of the warranty.

This should be planned before installation. It’s much easier to integrate during the initial setup than after completion.

Yes—always water test the tub before installation. We recommend testing the tub in a garage or outdoors before installation. This confirms plumbing integrity and system operation before the project is finished.

Testing prior to install, proper equipment access, correct wiring, professional installation, and following the installation manual are the biggest factors. Most service problems come from not testing the bath prior to install, inaccessible pumps or incorrect rough-in.

Yes. Many models support inline heaters that help maintain water temperature during longer soaks, creating a true “stay hot” bath experience.

This depends on the tub type. Freestanding tubs are often installed after finished flooring, while drop-in and alcove models are commonly installed during framing and finish stages.

They use standard drain and water supply connections, and do not differ from standard baths in this regard.

Drain placement must match your rough plumbing location or be planned during construction. We supply a paper template upon request to assist contractors in setting up plumbing and electrical.  Always confirm left, right, or center drain configurations before ordering.

Usually yes, but plumbing, electrical, and access requirements must be reviewed first. 

Adequate equipment service clearance is needed on any on bath. 6"-8" clearance from any wall or obstacle is required.

The floor must be level, structurally sound, and capable of supporting the combined weight of the tub, water, and occupant(s).

Yes, service access is critical for the longevity of your bath. Pumps, blowers, heaters, and controls must remain accessible for maintenance or future servicing. Freestanding and Alcove models have built in access panels from the factory.

Yes. We require professional installation by both a licensed plumber and electrician to ensure proper plumbing connections, electrical safety, code compliance, and warranty protection.

Whirlpool tubs require a dedicated GFCI-protected circuit. Requirements vary depending on your pump, inline heater, air system, and optional accessories. Always verify your specific model specifications before rough-in.
