Leak Prevention Push Control System for Walk-In Tubs | Ella’s Bubbles

A technician demonstrates how to prevent leaks in Ella's Bubbles walk-in tub push button controls. This maintenance guide shows how to apply silicone caulk to keep controls watertight and secure.

To ensure long-lasting performance and leak prevention, a technician carefully removes the button collar with a flat edge, taking care not to scratch the walk-in tub surface. The collar and button are removed to access the rubber gasket.

A thin bead of silicone caulk is applied around the rubber gasket and smoothed to ensure complete coverage. This step helps maintain a perfect seal, ensuring durability and reliable function for years. The button is then replaced, and the collar is snapped back on.

Excess silicone is smoothed away if necessary. The area can be cleaned with denatured alcohol. This process helps prevent water from getting under the tub from a loose push button gasket.

• Remove button collar
