leveling a tub

When is a tub "level enough"?

I have a floor that's out of level by 1/8" along the length of the tub, sloping away from the faucet end. Is it necessary to level the tub? It's a CI tub, sits on four legs with an apron. The apron is going to make leveling "interesting."

Appreciate any advice.

That amount is too insignificant to require any adjustment. The floor of the tub has more than adequate slope to deal with it.

Thanks, sounds good to me.

Along the length a little bit out of level isn't catastrophic, but it can be more critical side-to-side, since those don't have any built-in slope, or if they do, it is very slight. You wouldn't want water pooling against a wall, so leveling that direction is more critical.

That direction doesn't have a skirt setting on the floor so there is a lot of latitude to level it that way.
