Walk-In Tub With Rustproof Frame for Extended Lifespan - Voted Best/Safest 2020 | Ella’s Bubbles

So the next topic I want to cover is the frame and the leveling legs on the bathtubs. There's a lot of differences, all tubs are not made alike. One, with the Elvis Bubbles walk-in bathtubs, the frame is completely made out of stainless steel. There's a huge amount of stainless steel material down here reinforcing the bathtub. If you actually look at the fit and finish of our frame, one thing I always tell folks when they come in and look at our bathtubs, is look at the beautiful frame.

I mean, we have a polished stainless steel frame that you're never going to see again. Why do we put all that effort into it just to cover it up? It's the overall fit and finish of the product that carries through the entire bathtub. If we look at some of the other bathtubs, here, tub number one, a steel frame. It's very old school. It's very cost effective for the manufacturer to put some run-of-the-mill, one-inch, square-tubed steel frame on, but we've really taken it to the next level.

Really shows the attention to detail in crafting a product that's going to last. As we go down a little bit farther, we can take a look at a bathtub like this that you get from the hardware store. This bathtub, again, we've got a run-of-the-mill steel square inch tube frame, a couple of brackets that are just molded right into the fiberglass bathtub. These tubs actually come with these torsion bars so that when you're installing it, when the door leaks, not if, but when, you can adjust these bolts and change the actual size and dimension of the door to adjust leaks out of your walk-in bathtub.

As we go down a little bit farther, this is one of our tub number three, another one of our big national competitors. This has a nice aluminum frame, I like the frame, but what I don't like is this bathtub, again, has all the torsion bars. I really don't like a bathtub that's built from the manufacturer, giving me ways to adjust weeks out of the door. I want a bathtub that's built to leak. For me, from a service perspective, from an installation perspective, I want a bathtub that comes out of the factory with a seal, a stamp of approval, says this thing's ready to go, needs no adjustments.

This door is not gonna leak for the rest of your life. So now we have the panels off of our Ellis bathtub and I want you to see on our bathtub that there is no torsion bar. There is no adjustment on this frame to manipulate the width, to skew the door in any direction. This bathtub comes out of the factory one way and that's how it gets installed. They don't work. There's no adjustments to get leaks out of these doors because there are no leaks on it.
