Proper door alignment is crucial for Ella's Bubbles walk-in tubs to prevent leaks. This video demonstrates how to level your walk-in tub to correct a door rubbing the jamb.
When a walk-in tub door rubs the jamb, it indicates the tub is bowed down. To fix this, the tub must be raised from the center by extending the leveling leg. This adjustment helps the door frame open up and clear the swing or jamb on the door.
Ella's Bubbles walk-in tubs have at least six leveling legs. It is imperative that each of these legs rests solidly on the ground with no gaps. If the tub is not level, the door will not be able to close securely, which can lead to leaks.
To achieve a level tub, adjust each leg so they rest firmly on the floor. Take careful measurements on all sides of the tub and make adjustments as necessary to ensure proper door alignment.
- Extend leveling leg
- Adjust each leg firmly
- Take careful measurements
