THANK YOU & CONTACT INFORMATION
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PURCHASE!
The purchase of a walk-in bathtub is made out of a necessity for safety, comfort and quality of life. It is not a small investment but it
pays foritself by recapturing thepeace of mind and freedom you once had.
Our mission is to provide anyone with limited mobility the tools they needto once again enjoy the complete bathing experience.
To help ensure you get the most out of your investment below is list of ESSENTIAL DO’s and DON’Ts that must be kept in mind
during andafter your bathtub’s installation.
ESSENTIAL DO’S & DON’TS
DO REGISTER YOUR PRODUCT!
Register your product within 90 days to ensure your bathtub is recognized as an official purchase and is eligible
forwarrantycoverage.Mail the completed registry card (Pg. 2) or register online at www.SWCORP.com/register.
DO LEVEL THE TUB USING THE BUILT-IN LEVELING FEET TO PREVENT DOOR LEAKAGE!
Every walk-in bathtub comes equipped with adjustable leveling feet. THE LEVELING FEET MUST BE ADJUSTED TO
ENSURE THE TUB IS LEVEL AGAINST THE ONSITE FLOOR/SURFACE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN LEAKAGE!
DO REPORT ANY DEFECTS, DAMAGES OR MISSING ITEMS RIGHT AWAY!
Thoroughly review the bathtub and contents of the package. Any defects or damages must be reported within 5
business days of receiving the product.
DON’T LIFT OR PULL THE BATHTUB BY THE PLUMBING!
Every walk-in bathtub is built with a steel support frame. This support frame features a set of handles which
should be used to lift, push and pull the bathtub to ensure no damage is done to the tub body, components or
plumbing.
DON’T LEAN OR SUPPORT YOURSELF ON THE BATHTUB DOOR!
The bathtub door’s alignment is key to providing a watertight seal. Using the door to support your weight or
leaving the door open for extended periods of time will compromise this alignment and possibly lead to leakage.
