Preparing your bathroom correctly is key for a successful BainUltra Beone freestanding bathtub installation. Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
LED (Chromatherapy) Installation:
- Install the power modules near the turbine.
- Route the wires from the tub back to the turbine's location.
-
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.
-
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.
