Upon arrival, an Ella walk-in tub is unboxed and inspected for shipping damage, with all end and side panels removed. A pre-installation leak check is performed by filling the tub outside and running all pumps to ensure proper function before moving it indoors. This external check helps prevent issues after installation.
During installation, floor modifications may be needed to accommodate the oversized 2-inch drains. Water supply lines are connected with shut-off valves, and a licensed electrician adds proper breakers and GFCI outlets. The tub's adjustable leveling legs are used to ensure the tub is level, which is important for proper door closure and to prevent leaks.
After all connections are secure, the tub is filled again to check for leaks, and all pumps are run. Finally, the end and side panels are replaced and secured with screws, and silicone caulk is applied as needed. A properly installed Ella walk-in tub, such as the Transfer 60, can provide many years of reliable service.
