How Do You Install A Jacuzzi Bathtub?
A Jacuzzi bathtub upgrades a bathroom and adds value to a home. It also provides a good return on your investment if you decide to sell the home. There is more to the installation process than pulling out the old tub and putting in the new Jacuzzi bathtub. Follow these steps to install a Jacuzzi bathtub. Make sure the floor is level and can support the weight. If the floor is uneven, you need to fix the area so that the tub sits level. Otherwise, you run into trouble with water not being able to drain properly and it may affect the ability of the jets to function. Your floor needs to be able to support 150 lbs. per square foot. If it can’t, you need to add support under the floor. Frame the area to support the Jacuzzi bathtub. A Jacuzzi bathtub needs to be supported along the full length of the bottom of the bathtub and along the rim. An access panel that is 18 inches by 18 inches helps you reach the pump or motor in the event of trouble and provides necessary ventilation. Plan enough
