Warranty Activation Troubleshooting: QR Code Will Not Scan, the Old Register Link, Form Errors, Missing Serial Numbers and Repeat Reminders

Updated September 2026

If the QR code on your tub will not scan or the register link in your paperwork lands on a dead page, type ellasbubbles.com/warranty-activation/ directly into your browser; that is the working page, and it accepts the same two-page form. If the online form errors out, rejects an email address, or you cannot find your serial number, you can still get activated: submit a photo or PDF of the completed form through a ticket at ellasbubbles.com/support and the team registers it manually, or leave the serial field blank and the team looks it up from your order. Activation is required to put your Lifetime Limited Warranty in force, so do it promptly, but there is no published deadline and the site itself allows the form to be completed later.

Some older tub labels and paperwork carry a register address that no longer resolves, so scanning the QR code or clicking the printed link sends you to a page-not-found screen. Nothing is wrong with your tub or your warranty. Open a browser and go to ellasbubbles.com/warranty-activation/. The warranty activation article walks through the form itself, including the customer and installer signatures, the copy of your sales receipt, and the installer's electrician license and insurance information.

The Form Will Not Submit or Rejects an Email

Owners occasionally see "unable to submit," a date field that will not accept typing, or a message that the installer's email address is not accepted. The form sometimes blocks certain addresses automatically. Try these in order:

  1. Switch to a different browser or device and try once more. If only the installation date is refused, leave it blank and submit the rest.
  2. If it still fails, download the two-page Warranty Activation Form (linked from ellasbubbles.com/warranty/), complete and sign it with your installer, and photograph or scan both pages.
  3. Open a ticket at ellasbubbles.com/support, attach the pages along with a copy of your sales receipt and the installer's license and insurance information, and the team activates the warranty manually.

Mail and fax options are printed on the form itself if you prefer paper. Whichever route you use, you only need to send it once.

You Cannot Find the Serial Number

The serial label is on the inside of a removable panel: pull the magnetic access panel next to the door gently away from the frame and the label is just inside. The label tells the team when your tub was made, who made it, and which replacement parts are compatible, which is why it matters for the warranty. This article shows where to look, step by step.

The video shows the label on the inside of one of the removable panels. To use it for the form: pull the magnetic access panel away from the frame, look for the serial label on the inside of the panel or just inside the opening, and photograph it so you can type the number accurately.

If the panel is behind a finished wall or you simply cannot find the label, leave the serial and model fields blank and submit the rest. The team can look up your model and serial from your name, order number, or the email used at purchase and complete the record for you.

You Keep Getting Reminders to Activate

Activation reminders go out when the system shows no completed form for an order, even if the tub was purchased a while ago. You only need to activate once. If you have already submitted the form and reminders keep arriving, reply through a ticket at ellasbubbles.com/support with the name on your order; the team will confirm whether an activation is on file and stop the reminders. If no form is on file, the reminder is your cue to submit one now.

You Installed the Tub Yourself

The installer section of the form is for whoever set the tub in place and completed the installation checklist. If that was you, fill in that section with your own information, initial the checklist items you completed, and add the licensed plumber and electrician who made the water and electrical connections, along with the electrician's license and insurance information. If the online form will not accept a self-installation, submit the completed pages through a ticket and note that you installed the tub yourself. The self-installation guide covers what the checklist expects, including a dedicated GFCI circuit and a level installation with every support leg touching the floor.

Confirming Your Submission Went Through

You are sent on to the free accessory page after a successful online submission, and that redirect is your first confirmation. If you are unsure, open a ticket with the name on your order and the team will confirm the activation on file, including the model and serial recorded for your tub. Tubs purchased through a dealer or retailer register the same way; the dealer and installer purchase article explains how the warranty applies to those orders. For broader coverage questions, see the warranty common questions.

Common Questions

The QR code on my tub will not scan. How do I activate?
Open a browser and type ellasbubbles.com/warranty-activation/ directly into the address bar, then complete the two-page form there. The QR code and older printed links on some labels and paperwork point to an address that no longer resolves, so nothing is wrong with your tub or your warranty. Have your serial number, a copy of your sales receipt, and your installer's electrician license and insurance information ready for the form.
The register link in my paperwork goes to a dead page. Is my warranty affected?
No. Your paperwork simply carries an outdated address, and landing on a page-not-found screen has no effect on your coverage. Go to ellasbubbles.com/warranty-activation/ instead and submit the same two-page form there. If that page gives you trouble too, the completed form can be sent through a ticket at ellasbubbles.com/support for manual activation.
The form will not accept my installer's email address. What do I do?
The form sometimes blocks certain addresses automatically, so first try a different browser or device and submit once more. If it still fails, download the two-page Warranty Activation Form linked from ellasbubbles.com/warranty/, complete and sign it with your installer, and photograph or scan both pages. Submit them through a ticket at ellasbubbles.com/support along with your sales receipt and the installer's license and insurance information, and the team registers the activation manually.
Did my warranty submission go through?
A successful online submission sends you on to the free accessory page, and that redirect is your first confirmation. If you did not see it or are unsure, open a ticket at ellasbubbles.com/support with the name on your order. The team will confirm whether an activation is on file, including the model and serial number recorded for your tub.
I keep getting reminders to activate. How many times do I need to do it?
Only once. Reminders go out when the system shows no completed form for an order, even when the tub was purchased a while ago. If you have already submitted the form, reply through a ticket at ellasbubbles.com/support with the name on your order, and the team will confirm the activation and stop the reminders. If no form is on file, treat the reminder as your cue to submit one now.
I cannot find the serial number to finish the form. Can I still submit?
Yes. Leave the serial and model fields blank and submit the rest of the form, and the team can look up your tub from your name, order number, or the email used at purchase and complete the record. If you would like to try once more, the label is on the inside of the magnetic access panel next to the door; pull it gently away from the frame and photograph the label so you can type the number accurately.
I installed the tub myself. What goes in the installer section?
Fill in the installer section with your own information, since it is for whoever set the tub in place and completed the installation checklist. Initial the checklist items you completed, and add the licensed plumber and electrician who made the water and electrical connections, including the electrician's license and insurance details. If the online form will not accept a self-installation, submit the completed pages through a ticket and note that you installed the tub yourself.
My tub is not installed yet. Should I wait?
The activation page itself says you may fill the form out at a later time if the tub is not installed, because the installer completes and signs the installation checklist as part of the form. There is no published deadline, so waiting until the installation is finished is fine. Once the tub is in and the checklist is signed, submit the form promptly so your warranty is in force.
Is my warranty void because I never activated?
There is no published deadline for activation and no published clause that an unregistered tub loses coverage, so an unactivated tub is not automatically void. Activation is still required to put the Lifetime Limited Warranty in force, so the right move is simply to submit the form now at ellasbubbles.com/warranty-activation/. If you run into any trouble with the form, a ticket at ellasbubbles.com/support gets it registered manually.
