The Ella Deluxe is a 30 by 55 inch inward-swing walk-in tub with a brushed stainless steel door, built for a deeper, more upright soak and shipped with air massage, hydro massage, LED chromatherapy and ozone sterilization as one fixed package. It is five inches shorter than the 30 by 60 inch Ultimate but stands 39 inches tall, which gives a deeper soak in a more compact space. Ultimate, Zen, Standard or Deluxe: Comparing Ella's 30 by 60 Inch Inward-Swing Tubs sets it beside the 30 by 60 inch models.

Size, Seat and Capacity

The current spec sheet lists the actual size as 55 inches long, 29.5 inches wide and 39 inches high, with a 21 inch seat width. The video tour points out that at 29 1/2 inches wide the Deluxe passes easily through a standard 30 inch doorway. The seat sits nearly 17 inches from the floor, which makes sitting down and standing up easier. Walk-in Tub Model Highlights describes it as a deeper soaking tub rather than a stretch-out tub, and the seat-to-overflow depth is 19 inches, deeper than most models in the lineup. What Is Soaking Depth on a Walk-In Tub? explains how to compare that figure with your own seated height.

  • Net weight 212 pounds; shipping weight 286 pounds in a 58.5 by 33.5 by 46 inch crate.
  • Water capacity: 107 gallons unoccupied, and 60 to 75 gallons with a bather in the tub.

The Dual Massage Package

The Deluxe ships with both therapies, so there is no soaker-only version and no choosing between hydro and air.

  • Air massage: 16 jets (8 seat jets and 8 foot jets), a three-speed pump with push button control, and Auto Purge, which activates about 20 minutes after the air pump is shut off to clear moisture from the air lines and keep the tub mildew free.
  • Hydro massage: 14 jets (8 seat jets and 6 foot jets), an intensity control dial, an in-line water heater that maintains the temperature you fill with, and ozone sterilization to help keep the tub fresh.
  • LED chromatherapy light with push button control, adding a relaxing visual element to the bath.

Because the therapy systems are built into the shell at the factory, the Deluxe is sold as configured and is never modified afterward. The one option is the heated seat and backrest, chosen at order time.

Faucet, Drains and Included Hardware

  • Five-piece fast-fill faucet rated up to 18 gallons per minute at 60 PSI, with a pull-out chrome hand shower on a 5 foot retractable braided hose and two 5 foot, 3/4 inch supply lines.
  • Dual drain technology: two independent 2 inch four-port PVC floor drains, each with an overflow and a chrome extended-handle opener, plus end caps for the unused ports.
  • Gloss white acrylic shell reinforced with fiberglass gelcoat, on a stainless steel frame with adjustable leveling legs.
  • Removable front apron with two access panels, one reversible end panel and one 4 inch extension panel.
  • Stainless steel chrome deck and wall-mounted grab bar, and the removable swivel tray in white matte finish, described in What Is the Swivel Tray on a Walk-In Tub?.

The tub requires dedicated GFCI-protected electrical lines at 110/120V, 60Hz, connected by a licensed electrician. The video tour shows the low threshold, textured slip-resistant floor, grab bars, door latch, jet placement and dual drains.

Warranty and Availability

The Deluxe carries Ella's lifetime limited warranty on the shell, frame, door and parts for the original purchaser at the original installation address. Labor and installation are not covered. The Deluxe is offered in door and drain configurations that match the Ultimate, so confirm the side you need and current availability with your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850.

Common Questions

Is the Ella Deluxe a 30 by 60 inch tub?
No. The Deluxe is a 30 by 55 inch footprint, five inches shorter in length than the Ultimate. It stands 39 inches tall with a seat nearly 17 inches from the floor, which gives a deeper, more upright soak in a compact space.
Can I order the Deluxe as a soaker without jets?
No. The Deluxe ships as a fixed dual massage package with air massage, hydro massage, LED chromatherapy and ozone sterilization included. The therapy systems are built into the shell at the factory, so the tub is sold as configured.
Can I add a heated seat to the Deluxe later?
The heated seat and backrest is the one option on the Deluxe, and it is chosen at order time. The Deluxe is never modified after it is built, so tell your Ella dealer or the team about the heated seat before the order is placed.
How deep is the water in the Deluxe walk-in tub?
The seat-to-overflow soaking depth on the Deluxe is 19 inches. Fill to the overflow for the deepest soak, and measure yourself seated from the seat surface to your shoulders to see how that depth fits you. Your own height changes the result, since a taller bather sits higher in the water.
Will the Deluxe fit through a standard doorway?
The Deluxe is 29.5 inches wide, so it passes easily through a standard 30 inch doorway. Check every doorway and hallway on the path to the bathroom before delivery. The shipping crate measures 58.5 by 33.5 by 46 inches, so plan the route to the bathroom for the tub once it is uncrated.
What kind of door does the Deluxe have?
The Deluxe has an inward-swinging brushed stainless steel door with frosted tempered glass, secured with a chrome locking handle. It belongs to the stainless inward-swing family, which is why the removable swivel tray is standard on it.
