A bathtub with a length of less than 1.5 meters is often deeper than a general bathtub, about 70 cm. This is often referred to as a sitz bathtub.

Ⅲ. How to maintain a bathtub？
1. Repair scars in time
Avoid hitting and hitting the surface with hard objects, causing bumps or scratches. To repair dull or scratched acrylic tubs, wipe vigorously with a clean rag mixed with a colorless automatic sanding solution, then apply a layer of colorless protective wax. Do not wax the area where your feet are to prevent slipping.
2. Gently treat surface stains
The surface can be scrubbed with a discarded soft-bristled toothbrush dipped in bleach water to remove both stains and mold. If you encounter difficult-to-rub stains, you can also use half a lemon dipped in salt to wipe, or you can use a soft-bristled toothbrush to scrub with whitening toothpaste. Turpentine is also very useful at this time.
For limescale, the products you use to clean your toilet on weekdays work well, or white vinegar if you don’t like the pungent smell. Do not use detergents with a fading function, especially if the bathtub is colored at home. To combat mold and fungal disease-causing bacteria, rinse with bleach and peroxygen and dry immediately.
3. Handle pipe blockages at any time
Ducts should be cleaned once or twice a week to remove odors and prevent bacterial growth. You can use a product specially designed to clean the sewer, pour it into the sewer, and clean it after 5 minutes. Be careful not to use it in metal pipes.
If the bathtub is clogged, you can first close the drain valve, and then put an appropriate amount of tap water in the bathtub; place a rubber suction device (for unclogging the toilet) on the drain valve.
While opening the drain valve, suffocate the basin or The overflow hole of the bathtub; then quickly suck up and down to suck out the dirt or hair and clean it up in time. In the case of serious blockage, you can repeat it several times until it is clear.
4. Weekly cleanup
When cleaning the acrylic bathtub, use a sponge or flannel, do not use a coarse cloth, or scouring pad, and do not use any cleaning agent containing granular objects, it is best to avoid direct sunlight and contact with high-temperature cigarette butts.
Use mild cleaning agents (such as dish soap), do not use abrasive cleaners. Acrylic bathtubs can also be cleaned with glass water. After use, rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
If you encounter stubborn stains, you can use a small amount of abrasive cleaner to clean them. Clean the bottom non-slip surface with a soft nylon brush. Do not scrub with steel balls, wire brushes or abrasive sponges.
5. Common faults of bathtub
(1) The bathtub cannot enter the water
(2) The bathtub is leaking
(3) The bathtub is not energized or the leakage protection switch is tripped
(4) The size of the bathtub massage water cannot be adjusted
(5) The bathtub control panel cannot be activated
There is a one-to-one correspondence between the maintenance method and the failure of the bathtub. The bathtub does not enter the water generally because the faucet is blocked by a foreign body, so the maintenance method is to clean up the foreign body.
The repair method for bathtub leakage is to check whether the faucet valve core and sealing ring are damaged, and then replace it. If the massage bathtub is not electrified, it is generally due to the poor contact of the power cord or the leakage of the power circuit, which can be repaired accordingly.
