ENTREE BATH LEAK GUIDE
Note: Leaks can be cause by one or more of the following.
1. Foreign debris or material between seal and inner stainless steel door skin:This generally occurs right after
installation. To correct: rotate the door to access the seal area. Use a plastic spatula or similar non-metallic tool
with cloth over the end to clean any debris trapped between the seal and stainless steel door skin, or using a
wet-vac with crevasse tool, clean along the entire length of the seal with the tool directed at the area between
the seal and the stainless steel inner door skin.
2. Water overflowing above the level of the seal inside the door:A combination of full BathAire(SM) volume and/or
an active individual you are bathing can cause water to run down along the outside of the seal making it appear
the seal is leaking. To correct: reduce BathAire(SM). Adjust the fill level of the tub down to one to four inches
below the overflow. Calm the bather down.
3. The casual water drain system is not functioning:The casual water drain system is designed to drain off any
residual water or water remaining between the tub and the seal when the door is first opened. If this system is
not functioning correctly, water will run out one side or the other of the lower end of the fiberglass door cover
when the door is rotated to a full up position.
This failure can be caused by two events:
a. Check valve stuck or plugged with debris. To correct: check and clean the valve.
b. The check valve in the 2” PVC drain pipe is located too high above the level of the hose bar in the door
when the door is rotated to a full closed position. To correct: relocate the check valve in the drain pipe
to 2 ½” above the floor. Plug the hose at the previous position of the hose barb.
4. Seal not being compressed enough:The adjustment for proper seal compression is made at the factory and will
not normally require further adjustment in the field. The seal is perfectly round when the door is open. When
the door is in a full closed position, the seal should be compressed into an oval shape about one half its original
size.
If not, two things can cause this:
a. The attendant is not holding the door close switch down until the door rotation stops automatically. To
correct: make sure the attendant(s) are holding the switch down until the door rotation stops
automatically.
b. The door is out of adjustment or the seal is flattened and unable to compress further. To correct: call
MasterCare to order a new seal and replacement instructions.
5. Seal is worn out or damaged:The inner core of the seal is permanently inflated with a material called closed cell
foam and springs back to a round shape after the door opens. Three things can happen to cause the seal to fail:
a. The round shape can be altered through prolonged compression with the door fully closed for an
extended period of time. Check the shape of the seal with the door open. If it is in a very obvious oval
shape, it has been damaged by prolonged compression.
b. The seal has been damaged by a cut or gouge in its outer surface. Check for this type of damage.
c. The seal has lost its elasticity. The seal should spring back to a round shape immediately after
decompression. If not, it is worn out and it will not seal properly.
To correct any of the above situations, replace the seal.
CAUTION:DO NOT compress the seal (close the door all the way) when tub is NOT in use.
