The swelling process continues for at least two weeks. It

is normal for a wood tub to drip a small amount of water.

Included with your tub is a bag of fine cedar sawdust. If

you have a persisting leak after two weeks you can use this

sawdust to seal the tub.

Important: if you hooked up a filter, remove the cartridge

from the filter during this procedure, otherwise it will

clog.

Drain the tub and spread a cup or two of fine sawdust on

the floor of the tub, or alternatively, use a little water to

make a peanut butter-like paste of the sawdust and smear

some directly on the area that is leaking. Refill the tub.

As the water is added, the wood flour will be naturally

drawn to places where the water is seeping out and

accelerate the swelling and sealing of the tub. The

sawdust is harmless and the excess will be flushed out the

first time you drain and rinse the tub. Note: It may take

more than one treatment to slow or fix the leak, but this

method works in almost every case.

The natural oils and tannins in cedar (especially red cedar)

will cause the water to turn tea-colored when the tub is

new. This is normal and harmless. The sweet aroma of

cedar is due to these oils. You may want to change the

water frequently at first to help clarify the water. This

effect will diminish with time.

Section 13: Tub Safety

Your tub will give many years of enjoyment. Please note

the following general safety points:

1. Tub safety is your responsibility.

2. Never allow unsupervised children to use your tub. Be

sure that a responsible adult is in control at all times. IT IS

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL

DROWNING.

3. Hot tubs are for sitting only. Do not allow diving or

horseplay.

4. Children should use the tub at lower temperatures

than adults. Consult your physician for advice on hot

tubbing for children, pregnant women, people with heart

conditions, or you have other specific questions

concerning health and safety.

5. Consult your physician about recommendations

regarding your ability to soak and at what

temperature. Never soak in water warmer than 104

degrees Fahrenheit.

Section 14: Tub Maintenance

Your tub should last for many years and require little

maintenance. Here are a few recommendations.

Keep the tub filled whenever possible. Remember that a

wooden tub is a dynamic object and the wood will swell

and shrink with exposure to water or lack of it. Like a

wooden boat, it will seep water at first, then swell shut.

Leaving the tub unused for extended periods of time. If

you need to leave the tub unused while on vacation or for

other reasons, drain most of the water out leaving about

3 inches in the tub. Drain the heating system including any

filters or pumps in the system. Secure the cover on the

tub and wrap the tub with a tarp to protect it and prevent

excessive drying.

The worst thing for a wooden tub is to let it dry out. Keep

the tub filled whenever possible. This keeps the wood

from drying out, shrinking and opening up the seams. If

you need to drain the tub in cold weather or when you

are away for an extended period, leave about 3 inches of

water in the bottom so the floor seam will not dry out.

The tub will not be permanently damaged by drying out,

but will have to swell again to hold water.

If the tub does dry out, you can check to see if the

compression straps can be tightened up a bit. Tighten the

bottom strap first, then the upper ones. Do not over

tighten the upper straps - they do not get tightened as

much as the bottom one. NEVER tighten the straps when

the tub is full of water!

Freezing: Never let the tub freeze solid when full of

water!!! Since water expands when frozen, this will put

enormous strain on the bottom, sides, hardware and

heating system. If you are going to be away during

freezing weather, or you want to shut your tub down

during a cold snap, follow these steps:

1. Drain the tub down to about 3 inches in the

bottom. This amount of water will not cause freeze

damage and will keep the floor seam tight.

2. Drain all parts of the heating system. This includes

heater, pipes, and anything you might have added

such as pump, filter, etc.

3. If practical, disconnect and store the heater in a

warm dry place

If your tub develops a significant leak:

these steps in order. If the first on doesn't work, go on to

the second, and so on.

1. If your tub develops a leak (not just a drip) that it

didn't have before, something has changed. Do

some investigation to discover the cause. The most

common causes are the tub drying out after being

empty for a period of time, or the support for the
