How do I get my bathroom ready for a BainUltra Beone freestanding bathtub installation?

[JasperLee]

Preparing your bathroom correctly is key for a successful BainUltra Beone freestanding bathtub installation. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Plumbing Setup:

   • Adhere strictly to the faucet manufacturer's guidelines for water supply location and zoning.
   • Position the drain according to the technical specifications of your Beone bathtub.
   • Ensure you can easily access the Geysair Junction hose.

2. Floor Preparation:

   • Confirm your bathroom floor can support a weight of 1500 lbs (680 kg).
   • The manufacturer recommends no special bedding; the tub sits directly on the floor.
   • If installing on a concrete slab (e.g., ground floor or basement), seal the space beneath the tub to prevent condensation.

3. Turbine - Remote Installation:

   • Run a 1 ½ inch ID pipe from the tub back to where the turbine will be located.
   • Keep the turbine within 15 feet of the tub, indoors, and in a room-temperature environment.
   • Provide a well-ventilated enclosure for the turbine, ensuring it's of adequate size.
   • Connect the turbine to a dedicated 20 Amp GFCI 120V electrical line.

4. Geysair Installation:

   • The Geysair unit should not be moved and draws power from the turbine.
   • Connect the Geysair to the hot water line supplied to your tub's faucet.

5. LED (Chromatherapy) Installation:

   • Install the power modules near the turbine.
   • Route the wires from the tub back to the turbine's location.

6. Electronic Control (Keypad) Installation:

   • Mount the keypad on the wall, not on the bathtub itself.
   • Position the infra-red receiver near the keypad.
   • Ensure both the infra-red receiver and the keypad are easily visible from the typical sitting position in the tub.

7. Island Tub Drain (ITD) Installation:

   • Consider an ITD for easier access to components if the turbine is placed under the tub.
   • Follow the ITD installation instructions provided with the kit.

By carefully following these steps and consulting the detailed instructions in the BainUltra Beone freestanding bathtub manual, you'll be well-prepared for a smooth installation process.
