Ella's Bubbles Walk In Tub Blog

Drainage and Fill Time

Updated September 2026

Ella's Bubbles walk-in tubs are built with two 2-inch gravity-driven drains, so most tubs empty in two minutes or less once connected to a proper 2-inch drain line, and the faucet system fills a tub with a capacity of around 60 gallons quickly thanks to a fill rate of about 16 gallons per minute.

How Draining Works

Every Ella's Bubbles tub uses two 2-inch drains rather than a single drain. Instead of relying on a pump, the tub uses gravity to drain, so water flows straight down through the two 2-inch openings and out of the tub.

When the tub is connected to a 2-inch drain line, this gravity-driven setup typically empties the tub in two minutes or less.

How Filling Works

The faucet on an Ella's Bubbles tub is capable of a fill rate of about 16 gallons per minute. For a tub with a capacity of around 60 gallons, that fill rate means the tub fills quickly rather than requiring a long wait before you can begin bathing.
