Is the Avano Bali a one-person or two-person tub?

At 72 inches long it is sized as a two-person tub. Two adults can sit facing each other, though the whirlpool jets are positioned for one bather at a time.

What does drop-in installation mean for this tub?

The tub drops into a framed deck or surround rather than sliding into a three-wall alcove. You need a built deck sized to the tub and access to the pump and plumbing.

Does the drain have to be on the left?

Yes. This model has a left-hand drain, so the plumbing rough-in must be on that side. Check your floor drain location before ordering.

How does acrylic compare with cast iron or stone resin?

Acrylic is much lighter, easier to move into place and warmer to the touch. Cast iron and stone resin feel more solid and resist scratches better, but they weigh far more and cost more to install.

What maintenance do the whirlpool jets need?

The jet lines and pump should be flushed periodically with a whirlpool cleaner to clear residue. The acrylic surface needs non-abrasive cleaners to avoid scratching.
