so the next important topic is d rain system all of these different bathtubs have a different drain system that they're very proud of and i want to give you my thoughts on each one of them and what i have found in the field after installing each one of them hundreds of times so first let's talk about the ellis bubbles uh the two two inch drain system so this bathtub and we can easily see it just by taking off the door this bathtub actually has two two inch drains each operates independently this has a lot of advantages one standard plumbing in a house for a bathtub is an inch and a half drain a two inch pipe is actually going to carry four times the volume of water as an inch and a half pipe so what i always tell folks they say oh i just can't believe that we're gonna have two two inch drains and it's actually going to work in our house and what i tell folks is when we go and install this bathtub and we hit drain number one your bathtub is gonna drain at a very nice fast speed most of these folks that's all they have on their bathtubs when i click open drain number two your bathtub is going to go into turbo speed and that water is just it's a spectacle watching the water drain out of our bathtubs how quickly it happens if we go over to tub number one and we take a look at their drain system uh this one they're very proud of this system so this is going to start with an inch and a half drain standard drain nothing fancy nothing special what we're going to notice on their controls right up front is there's a button called drain when you hit this a pump is going to turn on just like a whirlpool pump in fact that's all it is as a secondary whirlpool pump it's going to suck water in through one of the intakes there's two intakes one for your whirlpool one for your power drain it's gonna suck the water through now the first issue with this is once your water gets below the end below the intake you need to turn your power drain off but while the water is draining what's going to actually end up happening so what actually happens when you're running the power drain on tub number one that they're very proud of the water's going to pump into this hose under pressure one speed that's it the motor only knows on and off so you turn it on it's pumping and it's pumping hard what we do is we put a fitting on your overflow it's a t we put a fitting on it and we attach this hose to it when that water is pumping if there's no way for all that water to pump down the drain which seven times out of ten there's not that water goes straight up and it shoots out your overflow the water just comes right back into the bathtub i would put these bathtubs in i would install them i test them water's coming out the overflow nothing i could do about it i would explain it to the homeowners always we would be getting calls that there's something wrong with this bathtub no they're just pumping a huge amount of water into your drain it's a terrible system and i'm so sorry but that's the only thing there's no solution for it awful system don't like it at all but this bathtub here is set up with just a standard waste gate overflow that you'd find on any bathtub pull the drain water goes out zero effort put into the drain system on this bathtub tub number three has a two inch drain so they've oversized the drain i can't pull this door off but they've oversized the drain so you do have an oversized drain but you only have one drain our bathtubs offer two drains so we're giving you maximum opportunity to get the most water out of your bathtub as quickly as possible why settle for one drain if you can have two so another thing we want to point out on our bathtubs all of our competitors every other bathtub is just a standard waste and overflow it has a drain shoe that glues on top drain goes in one direction our bathtubs actually have two ports so four total two drains two ports on each drain what this does for us is from the installation perspective it allows us to get the most direct shot to the drain whether we have to reverse the plumbing if we're keeping the plumbing on the same size side this bathtub gives us the most versatility and options as far as actually running our plumbing and making it as efficient as possible so we can get as straight as possible right to the trap and right to the waist on the house you
