Looking for the walk-in tub therapy and control videos in one place? Ella's Bubbles has published a short video for nearly every therapy and control on its walk-in tubs, and this page lists them all with one line on what each shows, so you can find the air speeds, the hydro dial, the foot massage, microbubbles, the heated seat, the lights and the control panels quickly. Three of them are embedded below, and every entry links to the article that covers that feature in depth. Two notes apply throughout: on every Ella three-speed air control the first press is high, then medium, then low, then off; and Auto Purge runs 20 minutes after the air pump is turned off, for 120 seconds. Where an older video says something different, the caption says so.
Controls
- Walk-In Tub with Push Controls and Digital Touchpad. Both panel styles side by side: air once high, twice medium, three times low, fourth off; water button for hydro with the dial for intensity; touchpad icons with plus and minus; light on with one press, off with a two second hold. Owning article: push controls versus the digital touchpad.
- Ultimate Walk-In Tub Guide. A full start-to-finish bath on the Ultimate, every deck button front to back, the faucet, the footwell-only fill and Auto Purge. Caption: this video says Auto Purge starts 15 to 30 minutes after shutoff; the published figure is 20 minutes. Owning article: how to take a bath step by step.
Air Massage and Auto Purge
- Three Speed Air Massage and Auto-Purge Technology. Ella's jet placement, hip, feet and bidet jets, digital or push activation, and Auto Purge 20 minutes after the tub is turned off. Owning article: air Auto Purge explained.
- Air Massage and Auto Purge Function. The three speeds in order and why the pump restarts 20 minutes after shutoff for two minutes; it may start while you are still bathing.
- Air Massage and Auto-Purge Technology for Self-Cleaning. Same speed order, the gentle palm push, and reassurance about the purge. Caption: this video says 15 minutes; the published figure is 20.
Hydro Massage and the Intensity Dial
This clip has no narration. It shows the intensity control dial on the deck being turned while the hydro jets run, and the change in the jet stream that follows. What it demonstrates is the same thing Ella's narrated dial video states: every Ella tub with hydro massage has an intensity control dial, turning it up introduces more air into the jet stream for a stronger flow, and turning it down reduces the air for a gentler flow. The dial is an air control on a hose rather than an electrical switch, which is why it works the same whether the pump was started from push buttons or the digital touchpad. If the dial ever feels stiff, the jet and intensity dial adjustment article shows the fix.
- Hydro Massage Control Dial. The narrated version of the dial, plus the benefits of warm hydro massage. Owning article: hydro massage versus air massage controls.
- In-line Water Heater Maintains Comfortable Water Temperature. Set the temperature at the faucet; the in-line heater works with the water pump to maintain it during the hydro massage. Owning article: what the in-line water heater does and does not do.
- Walk-In Tub with Therapeutic Jets. A tour of Ella's jet layout: recessed back jets, low hip jets, two independent water pumps, brass air jets, three bidet jets and the foot jets.
Independent Foot Massage
The video introduces the independent foot massage option. You enter over the low threshold and, with the two-piece fast-fill faucet, fill only the footwell; there is no need to fill the whole tub for a foot massage. A separate control dial adjusts the intensity of the jet stream. Four dedicated foot jets and two calf jets, driven by their own pump, deliver the massage, and the option can be enjoyed every day without a full bath. Owning articles: independent foot massage, and water level before running the jets, which covers the footwell fill line.
Chromatherapy Lights
This demonstration has no narration. It shows the LED chromatherapy light in the tub cycling through its range of colors, then holding on a single color. On either control style the behavior is: press the light button once and the light cycles through the spectrum; press again to pause on the color you like, with repeated single presses stepping through the solid colors; press and hold for two seconds to turn the light off. The light has its own control box and transformer, separate from the pump circuits. Owning article: chromatherapy lights guide.
Heated Seat, Warmth and Draining
- Heated Seat Option. Press once, turn it on 10 to 15 minutes before you enter, auto-off after 20 minutes, press again to restart. Owning article: heated seat and backrest.
- Answering Your Most Common Question about Walk-In Tubs. Will you get cold while the tub fills or drains: fast-fill faucets, insulating acrylic, the in-line heater, the heated seat, and the 80 second drain. Owning article: will I get cold while the tub fills or drains.
Microbubbles and Hydrogen
