The Ella Transfer60 is the full-length member of the wheelchair-accessible Transfer family, built for taller bathers who want more leg room. Its actual size is 29 1/2 inches wide by 60 inches long by 40 inches tall with a 22 inch wide seat, and because it already fills a 60 inch opening it is the one Transfer model that does not list an extension panel. Its signature is the dual hydro pump layout: one pump for the seat jets and a second for the foot and calf jets, and both can run at the same time.

Dimensions and Capacity

• Actual size: 29 1/2 by 60 by 40 inches (marketed as 30 by 60). Seat width: 22 inches.
• Comparison chart interior figures: 18 1/2 inch seat length, 50 3/4 inch interior length, 19 5/8 inches from seat to overflow, 17 inches from seat to footwell, 17 by 19 inch footwell.
• Water: 90 gallons unoccupied, 55 to 75 gallons occupied, per the current spec sheet.
• Weight: 220 pounds net, 300 pounds shipping, in a 34 by 62 by 50 inch crate.
• Door: L-shaped outward swing, 172 degree opening, two-latch gear and shaft lock; our team quotes about 36 inches hinge to hinge and asks for 36 inches of clearance in front.

Our team describes the Transfer60 as the Transfer model with the most stretching room and recommends it for bathers over about 6 feet; the backrest reclines about 15 degrees. The Transfer tub family guide compares it with the 52 inch models and the bariatric TransferXXL.

The Transfer60 on Video

The video opens with entry: step in over the low threshold through the wide L-shaped door, or sit first and swing your legs around into the tub, with the seat also reachable from a wheelchair. Grab bars mounted on the deck, the sidewall and the door add stability. Second, the easy-close chrome handle engages the two-latch gear and shaft lock for a leak-proof closure. Third, it explains that the tub provides two hydro pumps rather than one: pump one drives the seat jets and pump two powers the foot and calf jets, so you can enjoy a foot massage without filling the tub or run both together for a full-body massage, with no diverter valve splitting a single pump's flow between the two zones. Fourth, it shows the in-line water heater and the intensity control dial, and a push of a button selects the upper or the lower pump. Fifth, it introduces the microbubble option that generates billions of microbubbles to hydrate and exfoliate the skin. Sixth, it closes on the dual oversized T-type drains that empty the tub quickly.

This visual presents the Transfer60 with hydro massage and Infusion microbubble therapy. Microbubble therapy uses a high-pressure pump and a tank system to break water into billions of tiny bubbles delivered through a single jet on a push-button control; see microbubble Infusion therapy.

What a Real Installation Looked Like

Ella's Bubbles filmed a real Transfer60 installation in the greater Chicago area, and the steps apply to any Transfer tub:

1. On arrival, remove the crate and packing, then inspect for shipping damage before anything else; see delivery day inspection and moving.
2. Remove all end and side panels before moving the tub into the home.
3. Whenever possible, fill the tub outside, run all pumps and check for leaks before installation.
4. Drain and dry the tub, then move it inside. Floor modifications may be needed for the oversized 2 inch drains; this installer capped one side of the T-type dual drain and connected a single run to the house main drain.
5. Connect the included 5 foot supply lines; this installer placed shut-off valves where they could be reached.
6. A licensed electrician added the correct breakers and GFCI outlets at the panel.
7. Level the tub with the adjustable leveling legs. If the tub is not level, the door will not close properly and could leak; see the leveling guide.
8. Fill the tub, run all pumps, check for leaks, then replace the panels and apply silicone as needed.

Packages, Options and Faucet

The Transfer60 offers triple packages: Air + Hydro + Hydro Independent Foot Massage and Air + Hydro + Microbubble, alongside Air + Hydro, Hydro + Hydro Foot, Hydro + Microbubble, Hydro Massage and Soaking. The two-pump hydro layout uses 5 amp and 7 amp pumps with two intensity dials; the air pump is 4.5 amp, three-speed with auto purge; the microbubble pump is 1 HP at 7.3 amps. LED chromatherapy is included with dual or triple packages, and a heated seat and backrest and a digital controller are optional. The spec sheet headlines the five-piece fast-fill faucet, up to 18 gallons per minute at 60 PSI under ideal plumbing, with a pull-out hand shower. Dedicated GFCI-protected 115/120 V, 60 Hz lines are required, and a multi-pump package will need more than one 20 amp circuit, so have your electrician work from the schematic for your package; see electrical requirements by model.
