Important Technical Specifications:
- Material: Acrylic with Innova™ technology.
- Warranty: The product comes with a 3-year limited warranty for residential applications, covering manufacturing defects and material/workmanship. An extended 10-year warranty is available for certain components, specifically for the structural integrity of the unit against defects in material and workmanship. This warranty is extensive and covers all defective parts and even finish, provided the unit has been properly installed and maintained.
- Dimensions: The manual provides detailed diagrams for checking the unit's dimensions (depth, width) and ensuring they meet the framing requirements. Specific measurements for rough-in and plumbing fixture locations are crucial for proper installation.
- Plumbing: The unit requires standard plumbing connections for hot and cold water supply, as well as a drain connection. The manual specifies the use of a 1/8" drill bit for pilot holes, Phillips screw bits, and #8 x 1" wood screws for installation. A 20.3 cm x 25.4 cm (8" x 10") cut-out is required around the waste pipe for drain.
- Framing: The installation requires specific framing to support the unit, with detailed instructions for marking positions and ensuring the frame is level.

This certification ensures the product contributes to healthier indoor environments by reducing exposure to harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other chemical emissions. The certification covers various aspects, including low chemical emissions, improved indoor air quality, and the use of certified materials. The product is certified for both residential and commercial applications, with specific criteria for children and schools.
Usage Features:
- Combined Bathtub and Shower: Offers the convenience of both a bathtub and a shower in a single unit, suitable for various bathing preferences.
- Easy Installation: The manual provides comprehensive, step-by-step instructions for installation, including preparation, framing, plumbing, and finishing. It emphasizes the importance of reading all warnings and maintenance information before beginning.
- Leveling: The unit must be level on all sides of the framing before installation. Shims are provided to ensure proper leveling and prevent warping or breakage.
- Plumbing Fixture Placement: Instructions include measuring and marking plumbing fixture locations on the desired wall, with a caution against damaging the panel during drilling.
- Self-Adhesive Pad: The unit includes a self-adhesive pad for the mixing valve hole, which needs to be removed and trimmed with a utility knife to reveal the mixing valve hole.
- Sealing: After installation, all edges and seams must be sealed with an appropriate sealant to prevent water leaks.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: For regular cleaning, ONLY mild detergents or warm, soapy water should be used. Non-abrasive cloth or sponge is recommended. Rinse surfaces thoroughly after cleaning.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: The manufacturer strongly advises against using products containing naphtha, vinyl acetate, hydrogen peroxide solution (common household peroxide), toluene, ethyl acetate, or other common in-drain cleaner. These chemicals can damage the product and void the warranty.
- Repair Information: In case of surface damage, such as a dull or scratched finish, the manual suggests using a RUBBER FLOOR MAT with suction cups or a standard RUBBER SHOWER MAT. After each shower, the mat should be removed, and the floor of the shower unit should be dried. This helps prevent the formation of surface dullness or mildew under the suction cups.

- GreenGuard Certification Benefits: The GREENGUARD certification ensures that the product is designed to minimize chemical emissions, contributing to a healthier indoor environment. This means fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other harmful chemicals are released into the air, which can improve indoor air quality, reduce triggers for asthma and allergies, and decrease headaches and other flu-like symptoms. Regular maintenance, including proper cleaning and avoiding harsh chemicals, helps maintain the product's integrity and its contribution to indoor air quality.
