Ella Big4Two 36x80: The Largest Two-Seat Tub, on Video

Updated September 2026

The Ella Big4Two is the largest two-seat walk-in tub Ella's Bubbles makes. Its actual size is 36 inches wide by 80 inches long by 40 inches tall, with two molded seats of 22 and 24 inches facing each other across the longest interior of any Ella two-seater. It holds 145 gallons unoccupied, fills through twin two-piece fast-fill faucets, runs its therapies from digital controls, and closes with a U-shaped outward door on a three-latch gear and shaft lock. This profile gathers the spec sheet figures, the two product videos and the planning points for an 80 inch tub in one place.

Dimensions and Capacity

  • Actual size: 36 by 80 by 40 inches. Seats: 22 and 24 inches wide.
  • Water: 145 gallons unoccupied, 85 to 135 gallons occupied, per the spec sheet.
  • Weight: 328 pounds net, 531 pounds shipping, in a 38 by 82 by 50 inch crate.
  • Drain time: the comparison chart on ellasbubbles.com lists approximately 120 seconds under ideal plumbing conditions; the product video describes roughly 3 minutes 30 seconds. Your own drain line decides the real figure.
  • Electrical: dedicated GFCI-protected 115 V, 60 Hz lines. The comparison chart lists two 20 amp lines for the Air + Hydro + Hydro package and three 20 amp lines when microbubble is added.

The Big4Two on Video

The video presents the Big4Two as the largest two-seat walk-in tub available at 80 inches long, with the widest interior soaking space; the narrator describes 21 inches on one side and 26 on the other, while the spec sheet lists the seats at 22 and 24 inches and governs. Second, it shows the low threshold and textured slip-resistant floor. Third, the twin two-piece fast-fill faucet set with dual extendable multi-function hand showers. Fourth, digital touch controls that activate the three-speed air massage with auto purge, hydro massage with an in-line heater and intensity dial, and ozone sterilization. Fifth, the independent foot massage, which lets you enjoy the foot jets without filling the whole tub, together or alone. Sixth, optional heated seats that activate at a push and warm quickly. Seventh, the dual 2 inch four-port drains. Eighth, the optional four-fold glass screen, which can be set up on both sides of the tub. Ninth, the door closing on the three-latch gear and shaft mechanism.

The second product tour adds three points. You can choose the five-piece fast-fill faucet set with its extendable hand shower, or use a faucet set of your own choosing. The optional microbubble function activates billions of bubbles that exfoliate and moisturize. And the two 2 inch drains have adjustable height for the installer. It repeats the digital air controls, hydro with heater and dial, ozone, foot and calf jets, heated seats, the screen on both sides and the three-latch door.

The accessories clip shows the four-fold glass screen combined with a three-fold screen to enclose the long deck, dual rain shower heads that give a soft rain shower at both ends so one bather can stand while the other sits, and the dual extendable multi-function hand showers. Screen and column options are covered in can I shower in a walk-in tub.

Looking down into the Big4Two: each seat has its own hydro and air jets, and the dual drains sit in the shared footwell.

Jets and Controls from the Spec Sheet

  • Seat hydro: 9 amp pump, intensity dial, 16 upper seat jets (8 per seat), digital controller.
  • Foot and calf hydro: 7 amp pump, intensity dial, 4 foot and 4 calf jets, push control, in-line heater, ozone.
  • Air: 4.5 amp three-speed pump with auto purge, 18 seat jets (9 per seat) and 4 foot jets, digital controller.
  • LED chromatherapy on the digital control pad; microbubble and heated seat and backrest optional.

The seat jets are split evenly between the two seats, and the two-seat brochure notes that each seat gets its own four foot hydro jets in the shared footwell, all driven by the dedicated foot and calf pump with its own intensity dial. Because each side has its own equipment, a problem on one seat only is diagnosed on that side, as explained in two-seat tub: only one side massages.

Faucets

The spec sheet lists twin two-piece fast-fill faucets, each rated up to 16 gallons per minute at 60 PSI under ideal in-home plumbing with two 5 foot 3/4 inch supply lines and a pull-out hand shower on a 5 foot braided hose. The video also offers the five-piece set or your own faucet. If you want to fit your own, ask your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850 before your order is built, since Ella faucets install through factory-drilled deck holes and the deck needs to match what you plan to mount; using your own faucet explains the no-faucet order.

Planning for an 80 Inch Tub

The crate is 82 inches long and 531 pounds, so measure every doorway, hallway turn and stair landing along the route before delivery day. Remove the front apron, end panel and toe kick plates before carrying, and lift only by the frame. There is no extension panel because the tub already exceeds a standard alcove; the spec sheet lists a removable front apron with two access panels, one reversible end panel and a wall-mounted grab bar. With 145 gallons to fill, plan the hot water supply with your contractor using what size water heater do I need; the largest tubs often justify a dedicated heater.

Common Questions

What are the Big4Two dimensions and seat widths?
36 by 80 by 40 inches with 22 and 24 inch seats.
How long does the Big4Two take to drain?
About 120 seconds on the comparison chart under ideal plumbing; the video says about three and a half minutes. Actual times depend on your house drain.
What faucet and controls come on the Big4Two?
Twin two-piece fast-fill faucets with dual hand showers, and a digital controller for air, seat hydro and LED with push controls for the foot jets.
Can I use my own faucet?
The video says yes; confirm the arrangement with your Ella dealer or the team before ordering so the deck is drilled correctly.
Does it offer microbubble?
Yes, as an option, with a 1 HP pump, pressure vessel and agitator valve, which adds a third dedicated 20 amp line.
Can the Big4Two come as a soaker or with air only?
No. The Big4Two ships with the fixed hydro, foot and air package on digital controls.
Can two people sit side by side?
No. The two seats face each other at opposite ends with a shared footwell, and each seat has its own jets and heated seat option.
Does the Big4Two have a center drain?
The dual drains sit in the shared footwell between the seats rather than at one end, and the four-port T-type body lets the installer connect on whichever side suits the house drain.
