No!
- During certification the door mechanism and seal was tested for 20,000 cycles opening and closing, then filled with warm water, and did not leak. 20,000 cycles = 55 years of bathing every day.
- The seal is made of automotive grade urethane, not silicon or surgical tubing that can break down over time.
- The patented V-shaped seal works with the water pressure. The water pressure forces the seal against the side of the tub. More pressure=better seal.
- There is a lifetime warranty on the seal.
- If the door isn’t closed or water managed to get past the seal, there is a drain in the door track for added peace of mind.
- Every Aquassure accessible bathtub is water tested for quality before it leaves the assembly plant.
