Ella Capri 30x52: Outward-Swing Door With Independent Foot Option

Updated September 2026

The Ella Capri is the 30 x 52 walk-in tub in the U-shape outward-swing door family, and the model the team describes as "exactly like the Monaco, just a little smaller" for homes with 30 inch doors. The spec sheet lists an actual size of 30 inches wide by 52 inches long by 40 inches high, a 20 inch seat, and 85 gallons unoccupied (45 to 65 occupied). The white PVC composite and tempered glass door swings outward 165 degrees on a 3-latch gear-and-shaft lock, so allow about 21 inches of clear floor in front of it. This profile covers size and fit, the two-system therapy packages, the faucet and drains, and the questions owners and shoppers ask most.

Size and Fit

  • Actual 30 x 52 x 40 in; crate 33 x 55 x 50 in; net 215 lb, shipping 365 lb.
  • Seat 20 in wide and 14 in long, 24 in of shoulder room, and close to 42 in of interior length in the video (staff have quoted 44 in measured differently). Seat-to-overflow soaking depth is about 17 in.
  • 8 in extension panel and reversible end panel included for 60 in alcoves; see will it fit my alcove.
  • Doorways must be wider than 30 in. The team calls the Capri "exactly like the Monaco, just a little smaller" for homes with 30 inch doors, including mobile homes, and suggests the Capri or Monaco for a 5 ft 4 senior who wants an outward-swing door.
  • Step-in threshold is among the lowest in the line at roughly 3.5 to 4 in.

Packages and Jets

Published packages: Air + Hydro, Hydro + Independent Foot (two pumps), Hydro + Microbubble, Hydro, and Soaking. The Capri carries two therapy systems at most because the equipment sits under the seat of a compact frame, so choose hydro plus air or hydro plus microbubble; the team steers customers who want three systems to the Royal, Monaco, or Transfer32. Therapies are built in at the factory and cannot be added later, so which therapy combinations fit which tub is worth reading before you order.

  • Hydro: 15 jets (9 seat, 6 foot), 7A pump, intensity dial, ozone, in-line heater 6A 800W.
  • Hydro + Foot: pumps of 5A and 7A with two dials.
  • Air: 14 jets (8 seat, 6 foot), 4.5A 600W pump with Auto Purge.
  • Microbubble 1 HP 7.3A. LED chromatherapy is 0.5A with dual packages (the ".04AMP" on the Capri sheet is a misprint of the ozone rating). Optional heated seat and digital controller.

Faucet, Drains, Electrical

5-piece fast-fill faucet (up to 18 GPM) with two 3/4 in by 5 ft supply lines; dual 2 in 4-port drains; deck and wall grab bars; dedicated GFCI 110/120V 60Hz line(s). The Capri runs on standard household 110 to 120 volt power, never 220 to 240 volts, and a hydro plus air package with the heated seat needs two dedicated 20 amp lines; the exact count for your package is in electrical requirements by model. The Soaking version has no jets or jet holes and needs no outlet unless a heated seat is added. Like every Ella model except the Front Entry, the Capri is ordered left-hand or right-hand, with the door and seat on one side and the drains at the opposite end.

Common Questions

Is a soaker Capri available?
Yes. Soaking units have no jets or jet holes and need no outlet unless a heated seat is added. They are built in smaller runs, so check availability before scheduling an installer.
What is the step-in height?
The team's usual guidance is about 3.5 to 4 inches for the Capri, among the lowest in the line; recessing the drain below the subfloor lowers it further. Ask for your model's figure in writing if it is critical.
Why can't the Capri have hydro, air and microbubble together?
The pumps and equipment sit under the seat, and the Capri's compact frame has room for two systems. For three, look at the Royal, Monaco or Transfer32.
Does the Capri include microbubble therapy?
It is an option, not a default; choose the Hydro + Microbubble package at order time, since therapies cannot be added afterward.
How many foot jets does the Capri have?
The hydro package has 6 foot jets and 9 seat jets; the air package adds 6 foot and 8 seat air jets. The spec sheet on the product page lists the layout for each package.
Is the Capri 110 or 220 volts, and how many circuits?
Standard 110 to 120 volt household power on dedicated 20 amp GFCI lines. Hydro only needs one line; a dual package with the heated seat typically needs two.
Can I get the Capri with a right-hand outward door and the faucet on the left?
Yes. Every Capri is ordered left-hand or right-hand; the door and seat are on one side and the drains and faucet deck on the other. Choose the side from where your house drain is and confirm with your installer.
Where does the extension panel go?
It fills the gap at one end of a 60 inch alcove, with the reversible end panel finishing an exposed end. Owners report it attaches at the headrest end; if the panel does not seem to fit your layout, send a photo of the alcove with your serial number and the team will confirm placement. See extension panels and filler kits for the kit contents.
