A: Hello Dan,
Thank you for your interest in our Sapphire 6ft Rectangular Drop-in bathtub. The tub you are looking at has a right side pump placement. To determine that, when standing outside the tub looking in, the equipment will be to the right of the drain. None of our drop-in tubs have access panels, your contractor or plumber will have to build something to allow access for maintenance. For any other questions or concerns, please reach out to our Customer Care team. Our phone number is 866-588-8008. We are available between 8:30am – 6:00pm EST Monday thru Friday or email info@universaltubs.com.
We appreciate your business and look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank You,
