The Ella Transfer30 is the standard-size member of the wheelchair-accessible Transfer family and, according to its product page, the most popular one. Its actual size is 30 inches wide by 52 inches long by 40 inches tall with a 22 inch wide molded seat. It uses the 36 inch wide L-shaped outward-swing door with the two-latch gear and shaft lock, ships with an 8 inch extension panel for 60 inch alcoves, and is available with the full menu of single and dual therapy packages.

Dimensions and Capacity

• Actual size: 30 by 52 by 40 inches. Seat width: 22 inches.
• Comparison chart interior figures: 15 3/4 inch seat length, 43 3/4 inch interior length, 18 1/2 inches from seat to overflow, 17 inches from seat to footwell, 18 by 17 inch footwell.
• Water: 80 gallons unoccupied, 35 to 65 gallons occupied, per the current spec sheet.
• Weight: 220 pounds net, 366 pounds shipping, in a 33 by 55 by 50 inch crate.
• Door opening angle: 172 degrees, so leave clear floor in front of the tub.

The imperial figures printed on the current spec sheet are the authoritative specifications. If you see different gallon or weight numbers on an older chart or brochure, the most recently dated spec sheet governs. Interior figures for every model are gathered in interior dimensions and soaking depth by model.

Color Options

The spec sheet describes the shell as premium acrylic in a gloss white finish, reinforced with fiberglass gelcoat over a stainless steel frame. The ellasbubbles.com catalog also lists an Off White Transfer30 walk-in tub alongside the standard white unit, so both finishes appear in the current lineup. Availability of the Off White finish with a particular package is something your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850 can confirm before your order is placed. Finish options across the line are covered in tub colors and hardware finishes.

Door, Faucet Editions and Panels

The L-shaped door is a composite frame with a tempered glass panel and swings outward. Its winged shape is what lets it swing over a standard toilet in a typical vanity, toilet, tub layout while still providing a wide opening to transfer onto the seat. Inside, a soft-grip handle closes the door and a two-latch gear and shaft lock hidden under a decorative acrylic cover pulls it evenly onto its seal for a secure, watertight closure; see operating the L-shape transfer door.

Two faucet editions exist. The current spec sheet headlines the five-piece fast-fill faucet, rated up to 18 gallons per minute at 60 PSI under ideal in-home plumbing, and the catalog also lists a Transfer30 with the two-piece fast-fill faucet, rated up to 16 gallons per minute. Both come with two 5 foot 3/4 inch supply lines and a pull-out chrome hand shower on a 5 foot braided hose. Included with the tub are a removable front apron with two access panels, one reversible end panel, the 8 inch extension panel, a deck-mounted and a wall-mounted chrome grab bar, and two 2 inch four-port drains with two overflows and two cable openers.

Packages and Electrical

The Transfer30 can be ordered as a soaker or with one of these packages:

• Hydro Massage: 7 amp pump, intensity dial, ozone sterilization, in-line water heater, 22 jets (16 seat and 6 foot).
• Hydro + Hydro Independent Foot Massage: two hydro pumps (5 amp and 7 amp), two intensity dials, ozone, in-line heater on the lower jets, 22 jets.
• Air + Hydro: 4.5 amp three-speed air pump with auto purge, 17 air jets (11 seat including 2 bidet jets, 6 foot) and 11 hydro jets (5 back, 6 foot).
• Hydro Massage + Microbubble: hydro package plus the 1 HP microbubble pump, pressure vessel and agitator valve.

LED chromatherapy is included with the dual packages. A heated seat and backrest and a digital controller are optional. Every package needs dedicated GFCI-protected 115/120 V, 60 Hz lines, and the number of 20 amp circuits depends on how many pumps your package runs; see electrical requirements by model. Your electrician should size the circuits from the schematic that matches your order, since pump amperage can change with availability.

Transfer30 Versus Transfer26 and Transfer32

All three are 52 inches long and share the same door and drain system. The Transfer26 is 26 inches wide with a 19 inch seat and the two-piece faucet, for petite bathers and narrow rooms. The Transfer30 is 30 inches wide with a 22 inch seat, the standard-size choice for average bathers. The Transfer32 is 2 inches wider with a 24 inch seat and adds a triple Air + Hydro + Microbubble package. Each of the three includes the 8 inch extension panel for a 60 inch alcove.

Watch the Transfer30 and Transfer32 Together

This video presents both 52 inch models side by side. It shows the extra-wide frameless L-shaped door, the low threshold and textured floor, the two-latch gear and shaft lock, the deck and wall-mounted grab bars and the soft-grip handle. It then compares the 32 by 52 model with its 24 inch seat to the 30 by 52 model with its 22 inch seat, both described with 44 inches of interior length and a 15 1/2 inch seat length, before reviewing the three soaking-depth factors, the 17 jet three-speed air massage with auto purge, hydro massage with the intensity dial and in-line heater, ozone, the independent foot massage option, dual 2 inch drains, the five-piece faucet with hand shower, the microbubble option, the heated seat and backrest option and chromatherapy. Where the video's rounded interior figures differ from the spec sheet, the spec sheet governs.

A Dealer's Walkthrough of the Transfer Door

A dealer walks through the Transfer line: the two-pin lock, the wide-opening door with its mortised hinges and integrated seal, and the three ways to get in (wheelchair transfer, sit and swing, or step in). It also shows the 3/4 inch faucet supply lines that allow up to 18 GPM, the two 2 inch drains, the foot jets, and how the door wing swings over a toilet.
