The Ella LayDown tubs on video come in two sizes, a 30 inch by 60 inch model and a 32 inch by 72 inch model, each orderable with a left or right drain, and three videos show them: a showroom walkthrough of the family, a product video introducing the 3272 and 3060, and a short dimension visual for the 3272. This article explains what each video shows, where the controls sit, how the glass door works, and how the faucet question is answered today, because the faucet line in the older video has since been superseded by the current product pages.

Video 1: Showroom Walkthrough of the LayDown Family

The presenter introduces the LayDown as a tub for the whole household: children step in through the glass door, and seniors or anyone with limited mobility get a conventional lying-down bath without the high step over a standard tub wall. He states the two configurations, a 60 inch model and a 72 inch model, both available with left or right drains, with air and water jets that can be configured to suit the bather. He shows the diverter valve that switches between the tub filler and the hand shower, the braided stainless hose you pull out to rinse, the oversized 2 inch drain, the adjustable foot jets, the textured anti-slip floor and the straight side walls that keep the bathing space wide. On the door he demonstrates the large handle that snaps and locks into place, the tempered glass panel, the chrome plate you see from the bathroom side, the door jamb and the oversized gasket that is integrated into the jamb rather than glued in.

The part most owners search for is at the end: the controls. The hydro intensity control is on the rear deck, where you can reach it while bathing to adjust the jet strength, and the plunger control that turns the water system on and off is on the front skirt of the tub.

Video 2: Introducing the 3272 and 3060

This product video gives the interior soaking measurements the way the marketing team measured them: the 3272 at 61 inches long and 28 inches wide, which the narration says accommodates bathers over six feet tall, and the 3060 at 53 inches long and 25 1/2 inches wide. It explains that the narrow, square side walls give more interior space than a curved-wall tub and reduce trip risk, and that the soaking depth is 15 inches compared with about 11 inches in a standard tub. Both sizes have a textured floor, a tempered glass door, a low threshold and a chrome locking handle. The hydro massage is described with 11 jets, an intensity dial and an in-line water heater, and the large drain opener works an oversized 2 inch drain. The centered door leaves deck space at the end so the folding tempered glass screen can be added.

Video 3: 3272 Dimension Visual

This short clip has no narration; it is a visual of the 3272 footprint. For exact numbers use the current spec sheet, which draws the LayDown72 at 71 3/4 inches long and 32 inches wide with a back height of 27 7/8 inches and an interior floor of 56 by 22 1/2 inches. The interior soaking figures given in video 2 are taken higher up the tub than the floor dimension on the drawing, so the two sets of numbers describe different points on the same tub. For the LayDown60 the spec sheet gives 60 inches long, 30 inches wide and 21 inches high, with a back height of 25 3/4 inches and an interior floor of 46 by 20 inches. The older brochure cover prints a 52 inch length for the 30x60; that is a known misprint and the tub is 60 inches long. The how to read an Ella spec sheet article explains actual versus nominal sizes.

Facts That Stay the Same Across Both Videos

• Sizes: LayDown60 (30 by 60) and LayDown72 (32 by 72), each with a left or right drain position.
• Door: tempered glass, inward swing, chrome locking handle, integrated gasket. The current spec sheets describe a brushed-finish aluminum door frame and draw the door swing as 115 degrees with a 19 5/8 inch door opening; the videos describe the jamb as stainless steel, and the spec sheet is the current document. Operation and seal care are covered in operating the LayDown glass door and the door seal installation video guide.
• Drain: a single 2 inch brass drain with an overflow and a cable-operated opener, not the dual drains used on most walk-in models. When you need drain parts, mention that your tub is a LayDown so the team sends the single-drain parts.
• Controls: hydro intensity dial on the rear deck; on/off plunger on the front skirt.
• Therapies: air (20 jets, three-speed pump with auto purge that starts about 20 minutes after the pump is turned off and runs 120 seconds), hydro (pump, intensity dial, in-line heater, ozone), Infusion microbubble delivered through one jet with an air switch, or soaking. Soaking models have no therapy controls.
