What preparatory steps are needed for installing a BainUltra Beone freestanding bathtub?

[OPenelope]

Preparing your bathroom for the installation of a BainUltra Beone freestanding bathtub involves several key steps to ensure a smooth and successful setup. Here's a detailed guide:

1. Plumbing Preparations:

   • Consult the faucet manufacturer's specifications to determine the correct water supply location.
   • Position the drain according to the technical specifications provided for your specific BainUltra Beone model.
   • Make sure you have access to the Geysair Junction hose for easy connections.

2. Bedding and Floor Support:

   • Confirm that your bathroom floor can bear a weight of at least 1500 lbs (680 kg).
   • BainUltra does not require special bedding; the tub 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:

   • Install a 1 ½ inch ID pipe from the bathtub to the turbine's location.
   • Keep the turbine within 15 feet of the tub, indoors, in a room-temperature environment.
   • Provide a properly ventilated enclosure for the turbine.
   • Connect the turbine to a dedicated 20 Amp GFCI 120V electrical line.

4. Geysair Installation:

   • Do not relocate the Geysair system; it receives power from the turbine.
   • Connect the Geysair system to the hot water line supplied to your bathtub faucet.

5. LED (Chromatherapy) Installation:

   • Install the power modules next to the turbine.
   • Run wires from the bathtub back to the turbine location.

6. Electronic Control (Keypad) Installation:

   • Mount the keypad on the wall, not on the bathtub.
   • Install the infra-red receiver near the keypad.
   • Position both the infra-red receiver and the keypad within sight of someone seated in the bathtub.

7. Island Tub Drain (ITD) Installation:

   • Consider using an ITD for easier access to components if the turbine is placed under the bathtub.
   • Refer to the provided installation instructions for the ITD.

Following these guidelines, along with the detailed instructions in the BainUltra Beone freestanding bathtub manual, will help you prepare your bathroom for a perfect installation.
