The Ella Deluxe walk-in tub is the 55 inch stainless-steel-door tub for average to taller bathers who want more legroom without a 60 inch footprint: actual size 29.5 inches wide by 55 inches long by 39 inches high, a 21 inch seat, and about 107 gallons unoccupied. Unlike its siblings in the stainless inward-door family it ships as a fixed dual-massage package, Air + Hydro with LED chromatherapy and ozone sterilization, and a 4 inch extension panel brings it to a standard 60 inch alcove.
Size and Fit
- Actual 29.5 in W x 55 in L x 39 in H; crate 58.5 x 33.5 x 46 in; net 212 lb, shipping 286 lb.
- Seat 21 in on the spec sheet (22 in in the video), 16 in seat length, 46.5 in interior length.
- 107 gallons unoccupied, 60 to 75 gallons occupied.
- At 29.5 in wide it passes a standard 30 in doorway, as the video and the team confirm; the doorway measurement guide explains how to check every turn along the route.
- A 4 in extension panel (not the 7 in panel of the 52 in models) plus a reversible end panel bring it to a 60 in alcove; see alcove fit and extension panels.
Included
- Air: 16 jets (8 seat, 8 foot), 4.5A 500W three-speed pump with Auto Purge, which starts about 20 minutes after the air pump is turned off and runs 120 seconds.
- Hydro: 14 jets (8 seat, 6 foot), 7A 1000W pump, intensity dial, ozone, in-line heater 6A 650W; the video highlights the hip and bidet jets.
- LED chromatherapy 0.5A; removable stainless door, deck and wall grab bars, 360 degree swivel tray, dual 2 in 4-port drains, 5-piece fast-fill faucet (up to 18 GPM) with 5 ft supply lines.
- Optional heated seat and backrest.
Changing the Package
The Deluxe is not offered as a soaker or hydro-only. The team can add Independent Hydro Foot Massage so it matches the Ultimate's Hydro + Air + Foot set, and microbubble therapy is available as a special order. Ask your Ella dealer or the team for the electrical schematic for your package before your electrician plans the circuits; the base package runs on dedicated GFCI 110/120V 60Hz service, and combinations with the foot pump or heated seat add a second line, as the electrical requirements guide explains.
Watch the Deluxe
This family overview shows what the Deluxe shares with the other stainless inward-door tubs: the brushed stainless door with frosted tempered glass that lifts out for cleaning, the stainless frame with adjustable leveling legs, dual 2 inch drains, three-speed air with auto purge, hydro with in-line heater and intensity dial, ozone, the 5-piece or 2-piece faucet, the swivel tray, chromatherapy, the optional heated seat, and the 4-fold screen or shower column accessories.
Deluxe Versus Elite and Ultimate
The Elite is 3 inches shorter at 52 inches with a 22 inch seat and a choice of packages, so it suits narrower spaces and bathers who do not need the extra legroom. The Ultimate fills a full 60 inches with independent foot massage standard. The Deluxe sits between them: more interior length than the Elite, and a 4 inch panel instead of a 5 inch gap to fill when the alcove is 60 inches.
