Technical Tips
Which water should you use in your bath?
Use tap water with care. Water with a high lime content will cause scale build up and should
be avoided.
Distilled water and some types of de-ionised water may be used. Avoid ultra high purity de-
ionised waters.
Avoid using water with high levels of salts or iron. These will reduce the life of your bath
Regular water changing and frequent cleaning of your bath is needed to preserve the baths
corrosion resistance
Ensure you bath is stored dry.
Use care in placing other metallic items in the bath. Some metals (e.g. ferrous materials
such as iron filings and swarf) can cause an electro-chemical reaction leading to corrosion.
The product warranty may be affected by the use of inappropriate or corrosive liquids
