5) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems apply a gravity simply drainage system, while other makers offer power assisted drainage systems. Generally, the drainage system in a walk-in tub is attached to the normal bathtub drain, which is threaded into a flat conduit called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed under its flange with putty or a foam washer. Since a bather cannot leave the tub until all of the water is drained, the big difference is the fact that since sitting there waiting for the water can leave a bather feeling cooled, manufacturing companies have attempted to decrease the waiting time. Comparing double drain options to rapid drain alternatives is significant when considering that most walk in bathtubs take between 2 and 3 minutes to drain which requires the temperature in the room be comfortable while they wait. Some attributes may cost you more, therefore it's always advisable to inquire.

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

Mainly you're paying for a listing of safety features which are not accessible on a regular bath. These safety features are built into walk-in baths for individuals with limited freedom to decrease the likelihood of falling down. Model wall heights are generally 37 to 47 inches tall and contain a built-in shower seat, textured flooring, grab bars, anti-scald valves, in-line heater, temperature controls, and a water-tight door. An essential part of walk-in tubs is that there's a low step threshold to allow a user to easily enter into the bathtub unconcerned about the normal high wall of a regular tub.

Another common complaint from people who purchased a lousy quality bath and attempted to save cash comes from door escapes. When purchasing a walk-in bath, make sure you purchase a lifetime guarantee, because as soon as the door escapes, the tub can't be used by you, until you repair the seal.

Consumer Affairs indicates that you might want to contact Medicare to see if (for freedom security reasons) a walk-in bath is justified to ascertain if the equipment may be partly compensated. More times than not, it won't be covered by them. But if you're qualified for Medicaid, your state's program may give you some financial assistance for a walk-in tub. You may qualify for a House and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for particular specialized medical equipment and accessibility adjustments.
