Bathtub purchase planning and skills
There are many factors to consider when choosing a bathtub. To choose a suitable bathtub, you not only need to have a certain understanding of bathtub products, but also have a clear understanding of your own bathroom, including the size and style of the bathroom. Before purchasing a bathtub, it is necessary to combine the bathroom and product conditions to make a purchase plan to prevent being like a headless chicken when purchasing in the market.

The size of the bathtub should be determined according to the size of the bathroom. Before purchasing, you need to measure the size of the bathroom first. Different shapes of bathtubs occupy different floor areas. For example, triangle and heart-shaped bathtubs installed in the corners take up more space than ordinary rectangular bathtubs. Before purchasing, you need to consider whether the bathroom can accommodate it.

The height of the bathtub outlet also needs to be considered. If you prefer deeper water, then the location of the bathtub outlet should be higher. If it is too low, once the water level exceeds this height, the water will be discharged from the outlet. The water depth is difficult to reach the required depth.

Due to different materials, the weight of bathtubs also varies greatly. Before purchasing, you need to consider the load-bearing capacity of your bathroom floor, and choose a bathtub product whose weight is within the load-bearing range.

Bathtubs can be divided into ordinary bathtubs and massage bathtubs with functions such as massage. When choosing a bathtub, you need to consider whether you really need some other functions and whether you can afford them.

Before connecting the water pipe, conduct a power-on test of the motor to check whether its sound meets the requirements.
