Sealing areas under/behind the bathtub
Sealing is compulsory - silicone is not enough!
The areas behind and under the bathtub must be tiled. Sealant joints - like silicone joints
- are not waterproong, but only maintenance and beauty joints! Only the use of bathtub
sealing tapes or e.g. sheet sealants comply with this DIN.
Waterproong according to DIN 18534
„This standard is therefore not only addressed to the waterproong specialist, but also to
those who are responsible for the overall planning and execution of the building and its
components, because the eect and durability of the waterproong depend on the coordi-
nated planning of all those involved.“
You as the installer are responsible for reliable waterproong alongside the planner and
tiler. „The waterproong must full its function for the intended service life with sucient
reliability.“
Waterproong must be planned so that it functions for the entire duration of use. In a
domestic bathroom, this can be an average of 20 to 25 years. In practice, this means laying
tiles or a membrane waterproong under the bath is mandatory. Note that the sealing area
at the transition from the oor to the wall must be at least 10 cm high.
Please note:
• The pool must not be permanently installed. It must be ensured that it can be moved
away from the wall for maintenance work.
• The pool should be connected by an approved tradesman.
• The pool should be installed by a professional in accordance with these installa-
tion instructions. The electrical connection for the pool must be made by a certied
electrician. This person must also ensure sucient earthing to prevent accidents and
malfunctions.
• Please have an electrician check the function of the residual current circuit breaker
regularly.
• The statics of the oor must ensure that it can withstand the total weight of the pool,
including water and one person.
• The feet of the pool must stand on a rm, stable surface. The oor must be level.
• Any damage found during unpacking must be reported to the dealer immediately; it is
best to take photos and send them to the dealer
