Our Southaven installers are willing to make your bathroom safe so you can look after yourself by getting you the right equipment.

Question 1

1) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems apply a gravitation only drainage system, while other makers offer power assisted drainage systems. Ordinarily, the drainage system in a walk in bathtub is attached to the standard tub drain, which is threaded into a horizontal conduit called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed with a foam washer or putty under its flange. Since a bather cannot leave the tub until all the water is emptied, the large difference is the fact that since sitting there waiting for the water to drain can leave a bather feeling chilled, manufacturing companies have attempted to decrease the waiting time. Some characteristics may cost you more, therefore it is almost always wise to ask. Eventually, get to be aware of the difference between frameless baths since because they do not alter the drain height of your existing tub frameless tubs tend to empty faster than framed tubs and framed baths. Framed baths are constructed on a steel frame as well as the bottom of the bathtub is hung off the floor. Frameless tubs are designed with an extra-strength mold that does not need a steel framework and the underside of the bath is not hung in the air.

Question 2

2) Can the shower be used still with a walk-in bathtub?

Yes. There are walk-in tub installments that provide you with a big standing area for stand-up showers. You can either shower sitting down or standing up. Make sure you get the appropriate dimensions for the walk in tub in order that you do not feel cramped during a stand up shower. Additionally, if you need to keep your standing shower since if your faucet isn't right against a wall, it is a lot more difficult to tap into your existing shower, another thing to keep in mind is to ask about the faucet place.

Question 3

Some producers say that you use exactly the same quantity of water as a typical shower if a regular shower is 7 minutes and you also use 7 gallons of water a minute. Many of the walk in tubs available on the market have a 40-80 gallon capacity. Actually, many manufacturers recommend that you have a hot water tank that holds at least 50 gallons, though some bathtubs will operate efficiently if you fill them with 40-60 gallons.

Question 6

6) Why are these tubs so much more expensive than normal tubs?

Mostly you are paying for a list of safety features which are not accessible on a regular bathtub. These safety features are built into walk-in bathtubs for persons with limited mobility to lower the chance of falling down. Model wall heights are normally 37 to 47 inches tall and include a built in shower seat, textured floor, grab bars, anti-scald valves, in-line heater, temperature controls, and also a watertight door. An essential feature of walk-in tubs is that there's a low step threshold to allow a user to readily enter into the tub unconcerned in regards to the typical high wall of a normal bathtub. The walk-in tubs also normally include enhanced drain alternatives, jet treatment, and a cleaning function. Also, one of the reasons why the cost varies among the walk in tubs is that the tubs are custom-made depending on an individual 's needs rather than factory copied, so you can discover a bathtub that is specially made for someone who needs wheelchair access, a tub that fits a bigger individual, or a soaker tub with jets.

Suitable installation and initial testing should provide you with a leak-proof experience, however there are episodes where they experienced outflows, that customers report. Under suitable conditions, the door seal should compress making it totally leak proof. Some units comprise another drain under the entrance door to help prevent leaks if the door does leak. Inquire if this feature is included. Since it covers the seal as well as the door in the case of a leak, we highly recommend that you get a lifetime warranty. Replacement seals will cost you. Some people replace the door seal on a walk-in bath themselves. Also, it's crucial that you take great care of the walk-in bath door when the bath is not in use to prevent early failure of the seal. Wiping down door jamb and the door seal after each use can maintain the integrity of the water seal. Follow the maintenance and care directions.
