Anyone use this in a plastic-type tub? (Want to be sure it won't damage the tub.)

It fit perfectly in our tub. Does not slide and did not damage tub. Very stable and felt secure which was important since I was non weight bearing on my right leg for 10 weeks.

Hello,Our tub is not plastic, however; I do not see how this stool could perforate a plastic tube. Or mar it. (I am assuming the tub is a standard width, and not a custom odd narrow width tub.) The stool's feet are not sharpened metal projections, the metal legs do not rub against the tub. But if you are uneasy, go to a medical supply store and physically examine this stool - it's sure to be in stock or, if it isn't, something similar will be available for examination. Of course you don't want to ruin your tub, but I had a plastic tub I still buy this product. I hope this was helpful feedback, even though I do not have a plastic tub.

I haven't used it in a tub. Might be to large. It does have rubber knobs in each leg, so if you do have a wide tub it will work. It's very sturdy.

It won't damage the tub. The only thing you will need to make sure is the size that can fit in your tub.

I have to agree with TonyD except I put mine closer to the inside of center, guess it's really up to you and the shape of the tub. Silicone caulk works the best but can be bit messy/greasy to clean up, the key I found is to not to try and wash it off but instead get an old towel and wipe the excess off your hands and fingers after you beaded the seams or use latex gloves which are cheap and handy to have around anyways. Other than that it was an easy install and they work like a charm now.

I use it in a plastic bird bath with no problem. A couple things to be aware of - it works well down to 25 degrees or so; also it would not keep a large area of water ice free and might not be good for a pond deeper than a bird bath. Around 25 it would clear a small area around the unit. It will ice over in the zero to 15 degree range. To work at those low temps would take a lot of current and might damage bath/pond material.

I soaked it in my bathtub! lol Worked well, but lost a few small pieces of the insert bamboo :( haven't steamed with it yet to see how well it works, it is a birthday gift for my daughter

I have used Thrift in my fiberglass tub drain for several years. To date I have had no problems. Hope this helps.

my tub is right against the wall but i'm still ordering it. I'm going to use a waterproof command hook on the side of the tub and hook that small metal piece....and then hopefully move later lol

It is meant to be used on a porcelain coated surface such as a stove or washer or dryer. If your tub or sink has this kind of surface, I think that it would work for you. I don't think that is meant to work on plastic surfaces.

Sorry, I don't have that problem. I have a shower stall without a tub tho... Maybe that's the difference? Maybe try a safety pin in the corners to hold the fabric and plastic together??? Idk I could definitely see how that would be frustrating and magnets in the corners would be an improvement. Good luck!

Personally, I think you would be better off using some silicone cement or 'RTV'. This stuff is very aggressive and expands rapidly and can be difficult to remove if you get it on you or the rest of the tub. Something like this maybe: http://www.amazon.com/Permatex-80050-Silicone-Adhesive-Sealant/dp/B0002UEPVI/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1413906951&sr=1-1&keywords=silicone+cement

This is not meant for use in a bathtub so I would suggest not using it in a bathtub. I would only use this for an aquarium type set up.

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.

I also planned on using it inside either near or in the tub. I ordered it, put it together and found that it would not fit inside the tub and water would splash if outside the tub. Sent it back at great expense.

No, this would not work. Go to Lowes, Home Depot or Walmart and purchase plastic tubs.

Hi again Robin,Can you give any advice on how you used the steamer to clean your tub? I just finally tried mine out last night and it didn't really lift off the soap scum. Maybe it was just too much scum for it to handle?Also, it left residue from what it had picked up on the floor the first time. Any tips?Thanks for your advice!Renee

Yes, it is OK to use with a fiberglass tub. My tub is fiberglass and I've been using this for about a year. No problem.

As long as you have the room I don't see an issue. Check the dimensions. It's wonderful in a tub. Consider a handheld shower as well. Helps keep things dry since you can't use a door or or shower curtain as effectively.
