Mostly you're paying for a list of safety features which are not available on a regular bathtub. These safety features are built into walk in baths for persons with limited mobility to reduce the possibility of falling down. A crucial aspect of walk in baths is that there is a low step threshold to allow a user to easily enter into the bathtub unconcerned regarding the conventional high wall of a regular bathtub. The walk-in tubs also typically comprise jet therapy, a cleaning function, and enhanced drain choices. Additionally, one of the reasons why the price varies among the walk in baths is that the tubs are custom made depending on an individual 's demands rather than factory copied, in order to discover a bath that is specially made for somebody who wants wheelchair access, a bath that fits a bigger person, or a soaker tub with jets.

Some systems employ a gravity simply drainage system, while other makers offer power-assisted drainage systems. Typically, the drainage system in a walk in tub is attached to the normal bathtub drain, which is threaded into a horizontal conduit 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 the water is emptied, the huge difference is that since sitting there waiting for the water can leave a bather feeling chilled, makers have attempted to decrease the waiting time. Comparing double drain choices to fast drain alternatives is important when considering that most walk in bathtubs 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, therefore it is always a good idea to ask. Eventually, get to be aware of the difference between frameless baths and framed tubs since frameless baths tend to empty faster than framed tubs, because they do not change the drain height of your existing bath.
