Only purchased because it said can be installed on concrete slab with flexible hose. When i received tub the flexible hose is made like a drinking straw that expands like an accordian. Very cheap. Plumber would not install as the plastic is so cheap you could never pore drano down drain as it would melt plastic and u could never snake it either. If you are not going to use tub then its ok i guess to use flexible hose. It also has a sqauare restrictor plate in hose that will clog with hair quickly. Only reccomend if you have plumbing set for mid drain and you will nkt use supplied flex hose. That is my reason for 2 stars. Tub is nice though.
