Every Therapy and Control Video in One Place: Air, Hydro, Foot Massage, Microbubble, Heated Seat, Lights and Controls

Updated September 2026

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.

Air Massage and Auto Purge

Hydro Massage and the Intensity Dial

Hydro Massage Intensity Control 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.

Watch: Independent Foot Massage In A Walk In Tub - Safe & Comfortable Bathing Ella's Bubbles with chapters and a full transcript.

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

  1. 0:00 What Is Light Chromatherapy? Light chromatherapy is an added feature available on Ella's Bubbles walk-in tubs that provides a relaxing visual element to your bathing experience.
  2. 0:17 How To Cycle Colors A multi-colored LED in the tub cycles through a soothing color range when you press the button once.
  3. 0:32 How To Turn Off You hold the button for two seconds to turn the chromatherapy light off.

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.

Common Questions

Which video shows how the air massage speeds work?
Yes, you can find videos demonstrating the air massage speeds. The "Controls Walk-In Tub with Push Controls and Digital Touchpad" video and the two "Air Massage and Auto Purge" videos all show the same sequence: the first press is high, the second is medium, the third is low, and the fourth press turns the air massage off. This applies to both push-button panels and digital touchpads.
Is there a video on the hydro intensity dial?
Yes, there are two videos demonstrating the hydro intensity dial. The silent demonstration embedded on the page and the narrated "Hydro Massage Control Dial" video both show how turning the dial up introduces more air into the jet stream for a stronger flow, and turning it down reduces the air for a gentler flow. This dial is an air control on a hose, so 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.
Which video shows the foot massage?
The "Independent Foot Massage" video, embedded on the page, demonstrates this feature. It shows how you can fill only the footwell using the two-piece fast-fill faucet, without needing to fill the entire tub for a foot massage. Four dedicated foot jets and two calf jets, driven by their own pump, deliver the massage, and a separate control dial adjusts the intensity of the jet stream. The footwell-only fill line is just below the seat and above the calf jets.
Is there a microbubble demonstration?
Yes, the "Micro-Bubble Therapy" video demonstrates this feature. It shows how one touch of the micro button fills the tub with billions of microbubbles from a single port, causing the water to turn cloudy. A second touch of the micro button turns the microbubble therapy off.
A video says 15 minutes for Auto Purge. Which is right?
The published specification is 20 minutes after the air pump is turned off, running for 120 seconds. Some units may fire slightly early; either way it is normal, automatic and self-stopping, and you can stay in the tub or drain and step out as usual.
Which video shows what the heated seat button does?
The "Heated Seat Option" video shows what the heated seat button does. You press the button once to turn it on, ideally 10 to 15 minutes before you enter the tub. The heated seat will automatically turn itself off after 20 minutes, and one more press of the button will restart it.
Is there a video on the chromatherapy light controls?
Yes, there are videos demonstrating the chromatherapy light controls. The silent demonstration embedded on the page and the "Controls Walk-In Tub with Push Controls and Digital Touchpad" video show the operation. One press of the light button cycles through the spectrum of colors, another press pauses on a specific color, and a two-second hold turns the light off. Repeated single presses will step through the solid colors.
Do the push buttons and the digital touchpad do different things?
No. They perform the same functions on the same pumps. The push buttons send a puff of air to the control box, while the touchpad connects electrically, which is why a loose air tube can make a push button seem dead. The push controls versus digital touchpad article covers both.
Is there a video on how to use the whole tub for the first time?
Yes, the "Ultimate Walk-In Tub Guide" video provides a comprehensive demonstration of using the entire tub for the first time. It walks through a complete bath from stepping in to draining. The how to take a bath step by step article also provides a written checklist for this process.
