10.4 Cover:

The vinyl and foam cover is the main insulation for your

tub. It should provide years of good service. Avoid

punctures or tears, which could allow water to get inside

the cover. If you live in a high wind area, you will need to

secure the cover so it doesn't blow off. This can be done

by using the attached hold-down straps or by other

means. To use the hold-down straps, let each hang down

along the outside of the tub. Use a pencil and mark the

bottom of each buckle on the side of the tub. Next

separate the buckle (two parts) and screw the bottom part

to the side of the tub at your mark with small (1") stainless

steel screws (included).

Cover security: Included with the cover is a small plastic

"key" that can be used to lock the strap buckles for

security. Please note that this is not intended to prevent

someone from getting in the tub. To prevent children or

others from getting in the tub you will need to install the

tub in a secure area.

Section 11: Finishing the Exterior of the Tub

and Steps.

You can choose to protect the outside of your tub from the

long-term effects of sun, wind and weather, by applying

teak oil or semi-transparent exterior wood stain to the

outside (never the inside) and top rim of the tub. This will

preserve the beauty of cedar.

Section 12: Adding Water

If you used silicone, and it is dry (usually in about an hour),

you are ready to proceed with filling the tub. Review any

instructions included with the heating system that pertain

to filling the tub first.

Install the plug in the drain.

You are now ready to fill your tub with water for the first

time. A new tub is like a new wooden boat. It may leak

until the wood swells and the tub becomes tight. Be

prepared for a few leaks. These will slow and stop as the

wood swells. Be sure that the area around the tub drains

well.

Begin filling the tub from your water source, typically a

garden hose. Start by putting about 6" of water in the

tub. Stop there and let it soak for at least an hour.

Observe how the tub is holding water.

If the tub is holding water well, add additional water to

about the half full level. Once this is stable, fill to within 2

inches of the top.

If you have significant leaks, be very patient. Add water

occasionally to slowly bring the level up, a few inches at a

time. Don't try to tighten the compression straps or hit

the staves with the mallet when the tub is full of water.

Leaking will slowly stop. As soon as the tub is holding

water well, turn the water off and check it every few

hours adding water as needed. The swelling process

continues for at least two weeks. It is normal for a wood

tub to drip a small amount of water.

If you have a limited water supply - use a slightly different

approach. Put 2 to 4 inches in the bottom of the tub to

well and seal the bottom joint. After about 24 hours,

slowly bring the level of water up. This way you can

minimize the amount of water used to seal the tub.

Warm water accelerates the swelling of wood. If the tub is

holding water well and your heater is set up, you can heat

the tub. It may take a several days to swell completely.
