We have a thick curtain liner and also sit on it and have the outside curtain hang on the outside. Also using a handheld shower head. This seems to work every time. I've had my share of wet floors too until trying this.

We got this for my mother-in-law as she was leaving rehab. We also installed a hand-held shower head which reduces the chance of leakage. Her follow-on occupational therapist walked her through how to gather and then tuck the shower curtain lining under her leg. I also got a water absorber (made for leaky doors) to lay along the outside of the tub in case there was any spillover. The chair works great in that you can sit on it and then swing your legs over. It was also very easy to assemble. Good luck!

I bought Alsons 75110WH Delta Full Spray Hand Shower, White from Amazon.com. I sat on the chair & used the hand shower. The device has a control to turn off the water while you soap up so there was never water getting outside the tub. I didn't use a shower curtain.

We are not using a tub. We remodeled their bathroom so dad could roll in with his chair & transfer to bench. Room is tiled floor to ceiling with drain in center of floor.

the rehab nurse showed us how to pull the curtain over and fold it in a way that the water runs into to tub. its not as hard as you might think. a hand held shower head also helps.

I have a liner inside the shower curtain. I place my leg between the linerm which for the most part stays inside the tub, and the curtain and rest my leg on the side of the tub.

Just because a floor is designed to hold a full bathtub for a bath (which lasts a few hours in worst case scenario) doesn't mean it can continue to hold it for days on end. There is wood fatigue, etc. so I would be cautious about leaving the water there for more than a few hours. Good question though...

I read the previous response and that is your answer. I keep the chair in the bathtub for we have a shower as well which my husband uses.My husband did the hard part the lock mechanism. By the way I love this chair and it gives me freedom getting in and out of the bath. Have a Blessed Christmas ! Joannie

I had the same ? I saw a special shower curtain on amazon that has a section that tucks into the chair. Also I read some folks using two curtains like on a window pulling one behind the chair and tucking around the side and folding on bench while the curtain on the other side pulled to within that curtain and folded up on the inside of the other curain from the back on the chair also . Some stated they tuck the curtain under their leg. I don't know how it would work if someone has to help. A hand held shower head is a must . Many happy bubbles!!

I realize I'm chiming in late on this question, but I'm giving my opinion more for new customers who may have the same question. NO, I do not use a liner with my curtain. It's a 'treated' cloth material that encourages water to slide on down... but, mine eventually started to retain some water toward the bottom. I use the curtain in a small 1/2 bath that tends to be on the darker side, although there is one small window. Personally, I prefer the curtain without a liner--since it allows the sunlight to filter into the shower--while still providing plenty of privacy. Additionally, I've found that even though the curtain does get wet now, it also dries fairly quickly, so I'm happy with it!

I have added bubble bath, and other than seriously underestimating how much it would bubble it was fine. I added some bath salts and it shot them out at me the first time they went through the water rotation spot. After that I just dropped the salts in before I started it so they were soft and would not have a problem going through. I have no problem cleaning it. Just take it to the bath tub and dump it out. Take the shower sprayer and hose it out standing up in the tub and everything washes right out.

Dennis,1. What "kind" of pools? Swimming, live fish ponds, hot-tub stuff?2. Are you trying to condition the water, clean the sides, wash out the plumbing/circulator stuff, ...?I ask because I Have used it to clean my hot-tub & rinse out the plumbing. Works great. But A&H; has a pool (water) maintenance product to keep the water "balanced." It think they market it as "Clear Pool" or something like that. A&H; also has other products that you can research but it depends on exactly what you want to accomplish.Hope this helps.

I am not sure I understand the question. My daughter has the tub hanging from her shower curtain rod. When they want to use it, they open it up and place it in the shower stall and then turn on the water and it fills up with warm water from the shower nozzle. Is that what you are asking?

To be honest, you're better off buying a shower mat with the multiple suction cups that hold it in place. My wife and I use one when we travel and use several hotels. The Tub Tattoos don't stay on very long. Hope this helps and thanks for serving!Mark

Hi,I haven't had any issues just pulling the shower curtain across the seat face abd back into the tub on both sides. The deep channel around the whole seat drains/catches any water that might get by the curtain and returns it to the tub. I've never had a leak outside the tub.

Thanks for your questions, Nancy. I would assume that water may still be able to leak from the tub if you are not careful. To help prevent this, there is an install video on our website: http://www.slipxsolutions.com/shower-splash-guards. Also a full description is on the site as well. "Our Shower Splash Guards aren't your every day guards that glue into the corner near the top of your tub. These guards are engineered to use your shower curtain to its full potential. The SlipX Solutions guards are installed at the top of your shower curtain. They curve the curtain towards the inside of the tub, effectively helping the curtain cling to the wall of your shower and preventing splashes from escaping." Please contact us if you have any other questions!

I haven't had this very long, but I have learned over my long 70 years how to keep any shower curtain clean so I don't have to clean it often. First of all, I use Miracle II liquid soap which does not leave soap scum anywhere in the tub or shower. Next, I always open the curtain all the way to let it dry out as fast as possible. If you don't, the mildew will grow black or orange spots and brown clouds on it. If that happens, I usually recommend putting bleach and water in the tub and soaking the curtain in there and brushing it with an old toothbrush if necessary. This Maytex curtain is such heavy plastic though that I expect to just wipe it like a wall with diluted vinegar on a towel.

I think it holds the heat great! I soak for approx 30 minutes most times myself. I will occasionally have the house heat running in my bathroom and I will occasionally shut the shower curtain to hold heat in even longer, but, I don't really have any complaints. I will say that the tub itself starts out freezing cold, so I like to run shower water over it before running my bath water. Hope this info is helpful!

find a way to warm it up. put it in the shower with warm maybe even hot water. This will relax the material enough for it to take on a new memory. Memory, keep that word in mind as it will want to keep the shape it is in when it cools back down. Don't just sit it in the shower, try to keep it flat or at least straight. I would shake it off and lay it on a tile floor and let it cool off, or dry it off with towels and set it in place. Do not step on or put any other weight on the mat until it has cooled to the ambient temperature. Bam Flat as a board
