How to use the tubs safely and correctly

A tubs is a plumbing fixture for bathing or showering.Many homes now have tubs, but they don’t know what to do with it. Here are some things you should read!

 

Tubs water level to control

 

Generally speaking, it is best to put the water in the tubs below 42 cm,

the water level exceeds the heart of the tubs will cause danger,

especially the lack of flexibility of the elderly and children more dangerous.

In addition, the water level is suitable for easy access.

 

Children need to be accompanied in the tubs

Don’t take your eyes off the children when bathing with them.

Families with children should prepare a bathing tub, which is cleaner and more convenient.

There is a real case where a mum was bathing with her one-year-old child in the bathtub and came back from a phone call,

resulting in the child drowning in the bathtub. A lesson learned in blood.

 

Set a safe water level and take anti-slip measures

 

The bathtub should be set at a safe water level to prevent slipping and drowning.

Acrylic is originally glass, once the water is easy to slip,

if coupled with soap or shower gel, these good lubricants,

you can imagine, you can stand in the bathtub is still an unknown,

so in the bottom of the bathtub must do a good anti-slip design.

It’s a good idea to put a non-slip sticker on the bottom of the bath.

 

Positioning the shower curtain correctly

If you need to shower in the bath and use a shower curtain,

make sure you place the curtain on the inside of the bath.

If you place it on the outside, the water will run out and cause the floor to become slippery;

when placing it on the inside, be careful that the curtain is not too long,

otherwise it can be very dangerous to step on during the shower.

 

Remember to put grab bars on the bath

 

It is the most dangerous time to get in and out of the bath and to get up,

so make sure that there are handrails around the bath.

And, make sure that the grip of the product is suitable for you before you buy it.

 

Towel bars are not a substitute for handrails

The towel bar has a certain weight-bearing limit,

and he is not yet powerful enough to bear the weight of one person and many times.

Of course, if you buy a bathtub that is not equipped with a handrail device,

you can also install a rod next to the bathtub for better stability.

 

Don’t have shelves above the bathtub

 

A shelf above the bathtub, for example, is actually very dangerous.

Not to mention the fact that when you take a bath,

things from the shelf suddenly fall down and hit people.

Even in normal times, if you accidentally drop something onto the bathtub when you are there ……

it might be a hole that can’t be repaired!

 

Appropriate protective measures should be in place

For example, the bathtub should be sealed with bars and wire mesh to prevent drowning due to the suction of the bathtub.
