The Robinhood Supertub Series 3 Workstation, model ST1200, is a laundry tub designed for domestic use, offering a combination of a sink, cabinet, and integrated plumbing for washing machines. This workstation is designed to be a versatile and space-saving solution for laundry areas, suitable for installation either to the left or right of a washing machine.
Function Description:
The primary function of the Robinhood Supertub ST1200 is to provide a dedicated area for laundry tasks, including handwashing, soaking, and managing washing machine connections. It integrates a stainless steel tub, a cabinet for storage, and a plumbing system that includes a gooseneck tap and 3-way ball valves for managing water supply to both the tub and a washing machine. The cabinet features adjustable shelves and floors with cut-outs for waste pipes, allowing for flexible configuration to accommodate waste pipe connections on either side. The unit is designed to be secured to the wall, ensuring stability.

- Gooseneck Tap: The included stainless steel gooseneck tap offers hot and cold water, operated in conjunction with H&C indicators on the tap handle.
- Washing Machine Waste Connection: A dedicated white plastic inlet and cable tie are provided to securely connect the washing machine waste hose, preventing loose connections and leaks.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: Powder-coated surfaces should be wiped regularly with a damp, soft cloth. A mild soap and water solution can be used for stubborn dirt.
- Prohibited Cleaners: Abrasive or chemical cleaners, harsh detergents (including bleach, scourers, abrasive cream/powder cleansers, furniture polish, mentholated spirits, drain cleaners, sugar soap, metal pads, and strongly alkaline/acidic cleaners) must not be used on powder-coated surfaces, as they can irreparably damage the surfaces and void the warranty.
- Warranty: The product comes with a 5-year warranty on the stainless steel bowl and 24 months on the tap, cabinet, and other components for domestic use in New Zealand and Australia. Specific exclusions apply, including damage from misuse, wear and tear, dirt, fire, accidental damage, unauthorised repairs, improper installation, use of non-recommended cleaning products, and certain visual imperfections. Regular cleaning and maintenance as per instructions are crucial to maintain warranty validity.
- Pre-installation Flushing: It is important to thoroughly flush household pipes before connecting the laundry tub to prevent debris from damaging the ceramic cartridge of the mixer. An in-line filter is recommended for the mixer to maintain warranty on the single lever mixer.
