What are the different types of tub spouts?
Here's every common spout type, how to spot it, and how Tubo fits it.
| Spout type | How to spot it | Does Tubo fit? |
|---|---|---|
| Standard slip-on | Plain round spout, often with a tiny set screw underneath | Yes |
| Threaded | Plain spout that screws straight onto the pipe, no set screw | Yes |
| Diverter | Has a pull-up knob or lever to send water to the shower | Yes |
| Curved / gooseneck | Arches up and over, common on freestanding tubs | Yes |
| Square | Boxy, modern shape with a square or rectangular opening | Yes |
| Waterfall | Wide, flat opening that pours a sheet of water (rare) | Easy fix |
Standard slip-on
A very common spout. It slides over the pipe and is held by a small screw underneath. A clip-on filter sits right on the opening.
Threaded
Looks like a standard spout but twists onto the pipe instead. From the outside, it's the same shape, so it works the same way with a filter.
Diverter
Common in tub-and-shower combos. The diverter knob doesn't get in the way. Just make sure it's pushed down so water comes out of the spout during bath time.
Curved / gooseneck
The opening points down into the tub. That's ideal for a filter that works as water pours through it.
Square
Modern and boxy. Tubo clips right on.
Does it matter if my tub filler is wall-mounted or deck-mounted?
Tub fillers come out of three places. The mount matters less than the shape of the opening.
The spout sticks out of the wall above the tub. This is the most common setup and the easiest fit for a clip-on filter.
The faucet sits on the tub's edge or the deck around it, often a curved spout. Check the opening shape. If it's round or square, you're set.
A tall filler stands next to a freestanding tub, usually with a gooseneck spout. Same rule: look at the opening.
Handheld sprayers that come with some tub fillers are a different thing. A bath filter goes on the main spout, not the handheld.
What does installing a bath filter actually involve?
With Tubo, nothing to unscrew, no plumber, done in seconds. Clip the filter on and run the bath. Water passes through the Neutralyx™ Blend as it pours into the tub, so up to 99% of the chlorine never reaches your kid's skin.
That's it. No batteries, no settings, nothing to remember until the next cartridge swap. While the tub fills, keep your little one within arm's reach, as the AAP recommends for every bath.

Frequently asked questions
Will a bath filter fit a diverter spout?
Yes. Tubo fits diverter spouts. Keep the diverter pushed down during bath time so water comes out of the spout and through the filter.

Not for Tubo. It clips onto the spout in seconds with no tools and no plumber.
How do I know what type of tub spout I have?
Look at the opening and run the water. A round or square opening with a steady stream is standard. A knob on top means diverter. Tubo fits them all.
