Jets could be positioned to target particular regions to provide for the greatest effects. Many Nashua customers take pleasure in the therapeutic effect of having jets installed in their own walk in tub for a wide range of health conditions that gain from the easiness that is added.

Question 2

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

Mostly you're paying for a list of safety features which are not available on a regular bath. These safety features are built into walk in bathtubs for persons with limited freedom to decrease the possibility of falling down. An important aspect of walk-in tubs is that there's a low step threshold to permit a user to readily enter into the tub unconcerned regarding the conventional high wall of a normal bathtub. The walk-in bathtubs also generally comprise jet therapy, a cleaning function, and enhanced drain options. Moreover, among 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 replicated, in order to discover a tub that is specially made for somebody who needs wheelchair accessibility, a bath that fits a larger individual, or a soaker tub with jets.

Question 3

3) How do walk in bathtubs work?

When you enter the walk in bathtub, you close the doorway and seal it by pulling on the handle toward you. Make sure that the handle is locked in order to avoid any water decline. There are different kinds of handles determined by the version you decide to purchase. Be sure it's a handle that you can easily operate. Then, you shut the floor drain and ensure that the anti-scald device has already been preset before using the bath. If you're planning on using jets, be sure to get familiar with the operating instructions to judge which speed works best for your requirements. When you have completed your bath, remove the drain depending on the type of drain or turn the overflow knob you have to empty the water. Pull on the bathtub leave and handle the tub.

Question 4

4) Are these tubs as easy to clean as normal tubs?

They are not difficult to wash, but unlike regular tubs, itis recommended to maintain a daily cleaning custom with a walk-in bathtub subsequent manufacturer's recommendations and using the products that are appropriate. You would like to really make sure with a walk in bathroom that you remove spots and scum to protect the surface. Get into the practice of wiping down the wet surfaces after every use to help avoid the build up scum, which will necessitate more scrubbing later. Weekly, use cleaners to clean your walk in bath. Products that address your particular water stain and deposits should be considered in addition to any signs that these products may destroy the finish on your bathtub. You need to familiarize yourself with the very best cleaning techniques for your sort of tub since baths are usually either fiberglass or acrylic. Fiberglass can readily dull and is porous and fragile and stain. Don't use harsh abrasive products on fiberglass. Acrylic is non-porous and simple to wash. Do not use abrasive cleansers otherwise you scratch the tub and might dull the finish. Additionally, if the weather permits, air out the room so that it does not remain humid. Some manufacturers recommend that you just open your bathroom window for an hour each day to let moisture escape.

Question 5

5) Are there any kits available for installing my own walk-in tub?

Yes, makers do offer do-it-yourself installations of a bath conversion kit. Depending on whether you possess the correct tools and technical familiarity with the instruments, it is potential. Nonetheless, many times, someone thinks it is definitely going to be cheap to buy all the tools that are appropriate. These tools may be expensive, so make sure you compare the expense of purchasing all the tools and the price of your time learning how exactly to install the kit together with the cost of a professional installation. If you're someone who does a large amount of home improvements, then the directions might seem fairly easy. Simply make certain the unit is tested by them according to the Maker 's directions and the unit you purchased did not get damaged during transport.

Question 6

6) Do these tubs use more water than conventional tubs?

Yes. A walk in bathtub is normally taller than an average bath tub, which comprises about 2 1/2 feet of water on average. Some producers say that you simply use the exact same amount of water as a regular shower if a regular shower is 7 minutes and you also use 7 gallons of water a minute. Most of the walk-in tubs on the market have a 40-80 gallon capacity. The truth is, many manufacturers recommend that you've got a hot water tank that fits at least 50 gallons, even though some baths will function effectively if you fill them with 40-60 gallons.

Question 7

7) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems use a gravitation simply drainage system, while other makers offer power-assisted drainage systems. Normally, the drainage system in a walk in bathtub is attached to the standard tub drain, which is threaded into a flat pipe called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed using a foam washer or putty under its flange. Since a bather cannot leave the tub until all of the water is emptied, the huge difference is that since sitting there waiting for the water to drain can leave a bather feeling chilled, producers have tried to decrease the waiting time. Comparing double drain choices to accelerated drain choices is important when considering that most walk in baths take between 2 and 3 minutes to drain which demands the temperature in the room be comfortable while they wait. Some attributes may cost you more, so it is almost always wise to inquire. Eventually, get to be aware of the difference between frameless tubs since frameless tubs tend to drain faster than framed baths, because they don't change the drain height of your existing bath and framed tubs. Framed baths are constructed on a steel framework and also the base of the bath is hung off the ground. Frameless tubs are designed with an extra-strength form that does not need a steel frame and the bottom of the tub isn't hung in the air.

Question 8

8) How do I know these tubs will fully seal and not leak out all over the floor?

Initial testing and suitable installation should offer you a leak proof encounter, however there are events that customers report where they experienced escapes. Under appropriate circumstances, the door seal should compress making it completely leak proof. Some units contain another drain below the entry door to help prevent leaks in the event the door does leak. Inquire if this attribute is comprised. Since it covers the door in the instance of a flow along with the seal, we highly advise that you just get a lifetime warranty. Some people replace the door seal on a walk in bathtub themselves. In addition, it is very important to take good care of the walk in bathtub door when the bath isn't in use to prevent early failure of the seal. Wiping down the door seal and door jamb after each use can keep the integrity of the water seal. Follow the maintenance as well as care instructions.

Above all, you didn't get one AND and in the event you needed a license your home suffers from damage from the installed walk in bathtub, your losses may not be covered by your homeowner's insurance. In case you plan on ever selling your Nashua residence, there are plenty of buyer beware messages out there which will steer potential buyers from your home since it does impact homeowner's insurance, if there have been any advancements without licenses. Buyers see the licenses as well as their homeowners insurance as protections on their investments in houses.
