Three Ella's Bubbles videos put the wheelchair transfer tubs on video. The first is a product tour of the Transfer30 and Transfer32, the second is a showroom walkthrough of how a bather enters an L-shape door tub and how wide the family runs, and the third presents the legacy S-Class 3655, an older model with a 6 inch threshold. This article tells you which video to watch for which question and puts the on-screen figures next to the current spec sheets, which are the documents that govern when a number differs.

This tour presents the acrylic Transfer tub with its extra wide L-shaped door and two-latch gear and shaft lock. It shows the two sizes side by side: the 32 inch by 52 inch model with a 24 inch seat width, 44 inches of interior length and a 15 1/2 inch seat length, and the 30 inch by 52 inch model with a 22 inch seat width and the same interior and seat length. The narration explains that soaking depth comes from three things, the interior length, the seat length and the distance from the top of the seat to the center of the overflow, and it gives the Transfer32 soaking depth as 14 1/2 inches. It then walks through the therapy options: three-speed air massage with auto purge, hydro massage with an intensity dial and in-line water heater, foot jets, ozone sterilization, the independent foot massage option, the Infusion microbubble option, a heated seat and backrest, and chromatherapy with the dual massage package. Both sizes come with the 5-piece fast-fill faucet and hand shower, and both use dual 2 inch drains.

One note on jet counts. The video quotes counts for the air and hydro systems, but the current Transfer spec sheets define jets by therapy package rather than by model. With the Hydro and Air package the sheets list 17 air jets (11 seat jets plus 6 foot jets) and 11 hydro jets (5 back, 6 foot). With the Hydro Massage or Hydro plus Independent Foot Massage packages the sheets list 22 hydro jets (16 seat, 6 foot). Those package definitions are the same across Transfer30, Transfer32, Transfer60 and TransferXXL, so check which package is on your order before counting jets. The family-wide table is in jet counts by model and package.

This walkthrough is the one to watch if your question is about entry. Because there is no side wall next to the seat, the presenter shows three ways in: roll a wheelchair up beside the tub, drop the chair arm and transfer straight onto the seat, then close the door behind you; sit down on the seat from a standing position and swing your feet in; or simply step in as you would with any walk-in tub. He points out the weight of the door, the milled hinges mortised into it, the stainless pins and the integrated door seal that is part of the door rather than glued in, and the ergonomic handle. He also shows a practical layout trick: the winged portion of the door is shaped so it can swing over the top of a toilet, which lets a large tub go into a tight bathroom. A step-by-step breakdown of this video lives in getting into a transfer tub: three entry methods.

On the plumbing side he explains the 3/4 inch faucet body and 3/4 inch braided supply lines, which allow unrestricted flow up to 18 gallons per minute when the house can supply it, and the two 2 inch drains. Near the end he brings out the largest model, which the video calls the triple XL. The correct current name is TransferXXL; it is 36 inches wide and the current spec sheet lists a 29 inch seat width, the widest in the line. The family runs from a 26 inch wide model to the 36 inch model, which is why there are five sizes. Two figures in this video are older than the current documents: the current spec sheet drawings show the door opening 172 degrees, and the current spec sheets give the seat widths, so use those numbers for planning.

Watch: S-Class 35x55: Wheelchair Transfer Walk-In Tub with Textured Floor For Added Safety with chapters and a full transcript.

The S-Class 3655 is a legacy model and is not part of the current lineup, but many are still in service. The video presents it as a tub with extended length and width for extra tall and extra large bathers, with a 29 1/2 inch seat width, a low threshold, a textured floor, wall and deck grab bars and a built-in towel rack. It has three-speed air massage with auto purge, hydro massage with an in-line water heater and intensity dial, foot massage jets and dual 2 inch drains. The point that most owners ask about is the threshold: this S-Class has a 6 inch threshold height rather than a 3 inch height, and the extra height is what makes room for the floor jets and the dual drains. A 5-piece fast-fill faucet set with an extendable multi-function shower head was available, with 5 foot supply lines included with that set, and the electrical components plug into a dedicated GFCI outlet. A four-fold glass screen and a heated seat and backrest were options. The whole legacy line is described in understanding Ella's legacy S-Class series.

Where the Numbers Come from

Every figure in a product video was accurate when it was filmed, but the spec sheets are revised as tubs are refined, so when a video and a sheet disagree the sheet is the planning document. Per the current Transfer sheets: Transfer26 is 26 by 52 by 40 inches, Transfer30 is 30 by 52 by 40, Transfer32 is 32 by 52 by 40, Transfer60 is 29 1/2 by 60 by 40 and TransferXXL is 36 by 55 by 40. All five are compared model by model in the wheelchair transfer tub family guide, and the door's swing envelope is covered in door opening widths and swing arcs by model.

Common Questions

Which video shows my transfer model?
Transfer30 and Transfer32 are in the first video. The second video covers the family as a whole and shows the TransferXXL. Transfer26 and Transfer60 have their own tours in the family guide, and the entry method in the second video applies to all five sizes.
Which video shows wheelchair entry?
The second video, a showroom walkthrough titled "Wheelchair Transfer Walk-In Tubs Designed for Easy Access," demonstrates three entry methods: wheelchair transfer, sit-and-swing entry, and step-in entry. The presenter shows how to roll a wheelchair up beside the tub, drop the chair arm, and transfer straight onto the seat, then close the L-shaped door behind you. This video also applies to all five sizes of Ella's Bubbles transfer tubs.
Which video shows independent foot massage on a transfer tub?
The first video, "Wheelchair Accessible Transfer Walk-In Tubs in 30x52 & 32x52 Sizes," notes that the Transfer30 and Transfer32 models are available with the independent foot massage feature. The current family spec sheets list this as the Hydro plus Independent Hydro Foot Massage package, which includes two pumps. You can find more details on therapy options in the video's "MicroBubble and Chromatherapy Options" chapter.
Is there a video of the 6 inch threshold S-Class?
Yes, the third video, titled "S-Class 35x55: Wheelchair Transfer Walk-In Tub with Textured Floor For Added Safety," presents the legacy S-Class 3655 model, which features a 6-inch threshold height. This video explains that the extra threshold height accommodates the floor jets and dual drains. Keep in mind that the S-Class 3655 is a legacy model and not part of the current lineup; for parts or service questions, include your serial number when you contact the support team.
Where do I confirm the exact dimensions?
To confirm the exact dimensions for your Ella's Bubbles walk-in tub, always use the current spec sheet found on each product page under the Downloads section. While product videos provide accurate figures at the time of filming, spec sheets are revised as tubs are refined. Therefore, if a video figure differs from a spec sheet, the spec sheet is the definitive planning document to use.
How much floor space does the L-door need in front of the tub?
The L-shaped door on Ella's Bubbles transfer tubs requires floor space in front of the tub for its full swing arc. The current spec sheet drawings show the door opening 172 degrees. This means the floor in front of the door side must remain clear for the entire arc of the door. You should confirm the exact swing envelope against your specific model's drawing with your installer for accurate planning.
What is the soaking depth on a transfer tub?
The soaking depth on a transfer tub varies by model. Video 1, "Wheelchair Accessible Transfer Walk-In Tubs in 30x52 & 32x52 Sizes," gives the soaking depth for the Transfer32 model as 14 1/2 inches. This measurement is determined from the top of the seat to the center of the overflow. For interior figures and soaking depths for every transfer tub model, refer to the interior dimensions and soaking depth by model guide.
