Troubleshooting
Tray is not level
Adjust the feet on the riser kit (if used) or use shims to achieve a perfectly level surface. Ensure the subfloor is adequately prepared.
Water pooling or slow drainage
Check the high-flow waste for any blockages. Ensure the waste pipe is clear and has a proper fall towards the drain.
Tray flexes underfoot
Verify that all support feet and brackets from the riser kit (if used) are securely attached and making firm contact. Ensure the subfloor provides adequate support.
Difficulty connecting waste pipe
Confirm that you are using a standard 40mm waste fitting. If your plumbing differs, you may need an appropriate adapter.
Scratch marks on the surface
Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with a plastic polish specifically designed for acrylic. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods in the future.
