How do I prepare my bathroom for installing a BainUltra Beone freestanding bathtub?

[DelHenry]

Preparing your bathroom correctly is key to a smooth BainUltra Beone freestanding bathtub installation. Here's a comprehensive guide:

1. Plumbing Setup: First, adhere to the faucet manufacturer's specifications when planning your water supply. Carefully determine the water supply location. The drain must be positioned according to the bath's technical specifications. Make sure you can easily access the Geysair Junction hose.
2. Floor Support: The floor beneath the bathtub must be able to bear a weight of 1500 lb (680 kg). The manufacturer does not recommend any specific bedding installation. The BainUltra Beone bathtub can be placed directly on the floor. If installing on a concrete slab (ground floor or basement), seal the opening under the bathtub to prevent condensation.
3. Turbine - Remote Installation: Run a 1 ½ inch ID pipe from the bathtub to the turbine's location. The turbine should be located indoors, within 15 feet of the tub, in a room-temperature environment. Provide a well-ventilated enclosure for the turbine, ensuring it's of a suitable minimum size. The turbine needs to be connected to a dedicated 20 Amp GFCI 120V electrical line.
4. Geysair Integration: The Geysair system should remain in its original location and is powered by the turbine. Connect the Geysair to the hot water line supplied to your bathtub's faucet.
5. LED (Chromatherapy) Installation: Install the power modules adjacent to the turbine. Run the necessary wires from the bathtub back to the turbine area.
6. Electronic Control (Keypad) Placement: The keypad should be mounted on the wall, not on the bathtub itself. The infra-red receiver should be placed near the keypad. Both the infra-red receiver and keypad must be within clear view from the typical sitting position in the tub.
7. Island Tub Drain (ITD) Consideration: Consider using an Island Tub Drain (ITD) for easy access to components if the turbine is placed under the bathtub. Follow the ITD installation instructions provided with the BainUltra Beone bathtub.

By following these steps and consulting the detailed instructions in the BainUltra Beone freestanding bathtub manual, you can ensure a successful installation.
