Troubleshooting
Tub appears to be cracking or splitting.
Ensure the tub is not being subjected to extreme temperatures beyond its frost resistance or sharp impacts. Verify that no incompatible chemicals are being stored inside.
Handles feel loose or weak.
The handles are moulded directly into the tub's structure. If they feel weak, inspect the area where they join the main body for any signs of stress or damage. Avoid overfilling the tub beyond its intended capacity.
Stubborn stains or odors persist after cleaning.
Attempt to scald the tub with hot water, as it is designed to withstand this. For tough stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be applied and left to sit before scrubbing.
