Where can I see photos of the Deluxe 30x55 walk-in tub?

The product photos of the Ella Deluxe 30x55 are on its own page at https://ellasbubbles.com/walk-in-tubs/stainless-steel-door/deluxe/, where you can scroll through the images, magnify details, and open the brochure, specifications and manuals from the Downloads tab. For the tub set into a finished bathroom, Ella keeps an installation gallery at https://ellasbubbles.com/walk-in-tub/installation-gallery/, and the Deluxe walkaround video on this page shows the door, the jets, the drains and the tray. Ella Deluxe 30x55: Extra Legroom With a Fixed Air and Hydro Package carries the full specification; this page tells you where to look and what you are looking at.

Where the Deluxe Pictures Are

• The Deluxe product page. This is the starting point. The product images show the tub from many angles, and the bather pictured is 5 feet 5 inches and 165 pounds, which gives you a sense of scale against the seat and the door. Ella's website tour video shows how these pages work: open the stainless steel door inward swing collection, click the tub, and you can magnify certain parts of the photos and scroll through a wide selection of images.
• The Downloads tab on that page. The spec sheet with its dimension drawings, the brochure and the manuals all live here, so the photos and the measurements are one click apart.
• The installation gallery. This album holds pictures from customers after their walk-in tub was installed, which is the best way to picture a stainless-door tub set into a wall surround rather than standing in a studio.
• The Deluxe video. Ella's walkaround of the Deluxe, embedded on this page, shows the tub in motion rather than in a still image.
• Photos by request. If you want images of a particular detail, the team can email photos of the tub along with key specifications and diagrams. Open a ticket at ellasbubbles.com/support or call (800) 480-6850, name the Deluxe 30x55 and the features you care about.

What You Are Looking at in the Product Photos

The Deluxe belongs to the stainless steel door family, so the photos show an inward swinging brushed stainless steel door with frosted tempered glass set into a gloss white acrylic shell that is reinforced with fiberglass gelcoat. The door is removable, and it is the same door the Elite, Royal, Petite and Ultimate share. Around it you will see a chrome deck-mounted grab bar and a wall-mounted grab bar, a textured slip-resistant floor behind the low threshold, and the removable swivel tray in a white matte finish resting across the tub.

On the deck the photos show the 5-piece fast-fill faucet with its pull-out chrome hand shower, the chrome push controls, and the intensity dial for the hydro massage. Along the floor of the tub there are two 2 inch drains, each with its own overflow and a stainless steel opener with an extended chrome handle. The front apron is removable and has two access panels, and the tub ships with one reversible end panel and a 4 inch extension panel, which is the piece that brings a 55 inch tub to a standard 60 inch alcove. Those panels rarely appear in a studio photo, which is one reason the installation gallery is worth a look.

The Figures a Photo Cannot Show You

A picture tells you the Deluxe is a tall, generous tub, but not by how much. The actual size is 55 inches long by 29.5 inches wide by 39 inches high, with a 21 inch wide seat, a 16 inch seat length and 46 1/2 inches of interior length, which is where the extra legroom comes from. The seat sits nearly 17 inches from the floor, and the seat-to-overflow depth is 19 inches, a figure explained in What Is Soaking Depth on a Walk-In Tub?. The tub holds 107 gallons unoccupied and 60 to 75 gallons with a bather in it.

That 39 inch height is the detail most people miss in a photo. The Petite and Elite are 35 inches tall and the Ultimate is 35 3/4 inches, so the Deluxe stands noticeably taller than its siblings, which is what gives the deeper soak in a shorter footprint. How Tall Are Walk-In Tubs Compared to Standard Tubs? puts those heights side by side. For the route into the bathroom, the Deluxe at 29 1/2 inches wide passes a standard 30 inch doorway, and the shipping crate measures 58.5 by 33.5 by 46 inches at 286 pounds, with the tub itself at 212 pounds.

The therapy package is fixed, so every Deluxe in every photo has the same equipment under the deck: 16 air jets (8 seat and 8 foot) on a three-speed pump with Auto Purge, 14 hydro jets (8 seat and 6 foot) with an in-line heater and ozone sterilization, and LED chromatherapy. A heated seat and backrest is the one optional extra.

Watching the Deluxe Instead of Reading About It

Ella's Deluxe video walks around the tub and points to what the photos only hint at. It shows the low threshold and textured floor at the entry, the grab bars, and the chrome locking handle that secures the brushed stainless door. It then moves to the strategically placed air and hydro jets for the feet and calves, the side hip jets and bidet jets, the intensity control dial, and the dual 2 inch four-port drains, before finishing on the faucet with its extendable hand shower and the LED chromatherapy light. The video quotes a 22 inch seat; the current spec sheet lists 21 inches, and the spec sheet is the figure to measure against.

The second video on this page is Ella's tour of the website. It shows where the product images sit on a tub page, how to magnify parts of a photo, where the information bar with therapy and faucet details is, and where the specific video for each tub is found, so you can repeat the same steps on the Deluxe page.

Seeing It Live on a Video Call

Many customers book a live video tour, where a team member walks around the tub on camera, sits in it, and takes seat and doorway measurements for you. You can schedule one at ellasbubbles.com/walk-in-tub/schedule-showroom-tour/ or by calling (800) 480-6850, and it helps to mention the Deluxe when you book so the right tub is on camera. Have the model name and the door side you need ready, because the Deluxe is offered in door and drain configurations that match the Ultimate, and a photo may show the opposite side from the one your bathroom needs. Ultimate, Zen, Standard or Deluxe: Comparing Ella's 30 by 60 Inch Inward-Swing Tubs is the place to compare it with the 60 inch models once you have seen it.
