Placement
The Gardentub should be placed on tiles, as there is a risk of the grass subsiding when placed on the grass. If the Gardentub is placed on the grass, this is at your own risk. Two people are required to move the tub.
Filling the Gardentub
Fill the Gardentub quickly and easily with the garden hose (18 minutes), or order the tap and/or shower. If you purchase the tap and/or shower when purchasing, you can connect it to the garden hose using a Gardena coupling under the bath. If you do not purchase a tap or shower, you can also fill the bath directly with the garden hose.
Emptying the Gardentub
The water can stay in the Gardentub for up to 4 days. There are several ways to drain the water from the Gardentub.
-
Method 1
Place a drain under the Gardentub that is equipped with a direct drain.
-
Method 2
Connect the garden hose under the Gardentub to the appropriate garden hose coupling and let it run to a drain.
-
Method 3
Connect a hose with small holes to the garden hose fitting underneath the Gardentub. This allows the collected water to be easily reused for watering the lawn or plants.
Note: Do not use a commercially available drip hose for this. Instead, lay your own hose (20 mm polyethylene garden hose) and drill a hole every 30 cm with a diameter of 1.5 to 2 mm. Keep in mind that the bath has a limited water volume and therefore cannot cover very large areas.

Maintenance & cleaning
To maintain and clean your Gardentub, we recommend using a plastic cleaner, such as Zep plastic cleaner (750 ml) or Zep 50RTU. Simply clean the inside and outside of the tub with a soft sponge and water. Use the cleaner to remove stubborn dirt and then rinse well with clean water.
(!) Avoid abrasives or aggressive chemicals to avoid damaging the surface. This will help to keep your Gardentub in top condition and extend its lifespan.
After a period of non-use, such as winter, you can use a pressure washer to get the tub fresh and clean within minutes.
To keep your tub in top condition when not in use, here are a few important tips:
- Always protect your Gardentub with the cover: This prevents dirt from accumulating in the tub.
- Remove rainwater regularly: A protective cover that fills up with rainwater can be damaged by the weight. So make sure to drain the water off regularly.
- Place the bath on its side (optional): For extra protection from dirt and water, you can put the bath on its side when not in use.
- Leave the drain plug open: During the winter period, it is advisable to leave the drain plug open. This prevents water from accumulating in the bath and possibly causing damage.
