Question 1

1) How do walk in bathtubs work?

When you enter the walk-in bath, by pulling the handle toward you, you close the door and seal it. Make sure the handle is locked so as to avoid any water loss. There are different types of handles depending on the model you choose to buy. Be sure it is a handle which you can quickly operate. Then, the floor drain shut and ensure the anti-scald device has been preset before using the bathtub. Once the bathtub fills to the desired depth, your bath is ready. You must empty the water when you have completed your bath, turn the overflow knob or remove the drain depending on the type of drain. Pull on the bathtub exit and handle the bath.

Question 2

2) Are these tubs as easy to clean as normal tubs?

They're easy to wash, but unlike regular tubs, it is advisable to maintain a daily cleaning custom with a walk-in bathtub following manufacturer's recommendations and utilizing the products that are right. You wish to actually make sure with a walk in bathroom that you remove scum and spots to secure the surface. Get into the practice of wiping down the surfaces that are wet after each use to help avoid the build up scum, which will need more scrubbing afterwards. Weekly, use cleaners to clean your walkin bathtub. Products that address your special water blot and deposits should be considered as well as any signs that these products may destroy the finish on your own bathtub. You want to get familiar with the most effective cleaning techniques for your sort of bath since baths are generally either fiberglass or acrylic. Fiberglass can easily dull and is porous and fragile and spot. Do not use harsh abrasive products on fiberglass. Acrylic is nonporous and simple to clean. Do not use abrasive cleansers you scrape on the bath and might dull the finish. Additionally, if the weather permits, air out the room so that it doesn't stay humid. Some manufacturers advise that you open your own bathroom window for an hour every day to let moisture escape.

Question 3

3) How do I know these tubs will fully seal and not leak out all over the floor?

Proper setup and initial testing should give you a leak proof experience, however there are events that customers report where they experienced escapes. Under appropriate conditions, the door seal should compress making it completely leak proof. Some units include another drain below the entrance door to help prevent leaks in the event the door does leak. If this attribute is comprised, ask. We highly recommend that you simply get a lifetime warranty, because it covers the seal along with the door in the instance of a leak. In addition, it's vital that you take good care of the walk in bath door when the bath isn't in use to prevent early failure of the seal. Wiping down the door seal and door jamb after every use can maintain the integrity of the water seal. Follow the maintenance and care instructions. Also, any little set of dirt or debris on the door seal or where the seal comes in touch with the door jamb can lead to a modest leak through the door seal, so consistently wipe down the door seal.

Check with your Parkersburg homeowner's insurance to make sure it's going to cover you against this type of damage.

Should you plan on selling your Parkersburg residence, there are plenty of buyer beware messages out there which will steer potential buyers from your home since it does influence homeowner's insurance if there have been any progress without licenses.
