How to use the bathtub
①The depth of the bathtub must be controlled. It is best to be below 42 cm. A bathtub with a water level higher than the heart can be dangerous, and a shallow bathtub is convenient for entry and exit.
②It is better not to have too large arcs in the bathtub itself, so that you can sit in it more securely.
③Take the child to take a bath and keep your eyes away from the child. Families with children should prepare a bathtub, which is cleaner and more convenient. During the bathing process, keep your eyes on the child. There was a real case in which Ma Ma took a more than one-year-old child to take a bath in the bathtub. After answering a phone call, the child was drowned in the bathtub. A lesson like blood!
④The bathtub should be set with a safe water level to prevent slipping and drowning. Acrylic is originally glass, it is easy to slip when it encounters water. If you add good lubricants such as soap or shower gel, it is conceivable that you can stand firm in the bathtub. It is still unknown, so in the bathtub The bottom must have a non-slip design. It is best to stick a non-slip sticker.

⑦The towel bar cannot replace the handrail. The towel bar has a certain load-bearing limit, and its function is not strong enough to bear the weight of a person, and many times. Of course, if the bathtub you buy is not equipped with a handrail device, you can also install a pole next to the bathtub for better stability.
⑧There should be no shelf above the bathtub. For example, putting a shelf on the bathtub is actually very dangerous. Not to mention that when taking a shower, the contents of the shelf suddenly fell and hit people. Even in normal times, if you accidentally drop the thing and hit the bathtub...maybe it is a hole that cannot be repaired!
