When choosing which Ela Walk-In tub to purchase, there are many important factors to consider. First, take stock of your personal needs. Is aging in place a concern for you? Do you have limited mobility and need wheelchair access? What about your personal size dimensions? Do you need extra width and length? Or do you need a standard lay-down tub? Whatever your particular needs may be, even recreational or assisted bathing, Ellis has a walk-in tub for you.

First, take specific hip measurements to make sure the Ella tub you choose has the proper seat width for your body size. Keep in mind that the tub seat must be wider than your hip size. Next, make sure the Ella tub you choose has the proper shoulder width for your body size. Different body sizes require different sized tubs. it's important to measure carefully. You'll want to choose the tub that best accommodates your personal dimensions.

The best way to measure for proper tub length is to sit in a chair facing a wall and measure from your head to your feet while sitting in a relaxed position. Then refer to our website for detailed tub measurements and how they'll fit your body size. After thoroughly reviewing the website, determine the tub that will fit you the best. The overall soaking depth of an EllaWalk-in tub determined by three factors. One, the interior length of the tub.

Two, the length of the seat. And three, the depth from the top of the seat to the center of the overflow drains. Of course, a bather's particular size will determine overall soaking depth, so keep these factors in mind as you choose your tub. We have a range of tub sizes to accommodate any size behavior, designed especially for safe sitting and soaking. From the compact mobile, to the luxurious Elite and Ultimate, all the way to the largest walk-in tub on the planet, the Shack.

We also have a fully jetted Hydro and Air Massage laydown tub that comes in two convenient lengths. Then make sure your house or apartment can accommodate the size of one of our tubs. Check all exterior and interior door widths and all hallways to make sure the walk-in tub you choose will fit. Again refer to our detailed website to see the nominal and actual sizes of our tubs for proper placement. For example the Elite is actually 29 and 3 quarter inches wide and the Petite is actually 27 and a half inches wide.

So the Elite tub will easily fit through a 30 inch door opening. It's imperative that proper measurements are taken to make sure the tub you choose will fit properly. And always consider where your tub will be placed in relation to bathroom fixtures such as toilets, sinks or shelves. Once you know which Ellis tub can fit, determine what type of door you'd like and which side of the tub that door will be placed. If you choose a tub with a right side door, it will have drains on the right side and will connect to the house drain on the left.

If you choose a tub with a left side door, it will have drains on the left and will connect to the house drain on the right. Or using the dual four-port T-type drains, connect to your home drain on the side that's most convenient. When you use all four ports, simply cap off the sides, not in use. We also recommend a two-inch house drain to maximize the effectiveness of our dual drain technology. Ella's proprietary dual Four-port T-type drains is the fastest gravity-driven drain system in the industry.

Quick drain times means minimal wait times. You can then decide where to place your tub in your bathroom, left corner, right corner, in an alcove, or simply against the wall. The next step is to make sure your home has the proper hot water supply. We recommend the maximum capacity water heater available for your house. Anything less than 75 gallons is not recommended. We also recommend 3 quarter inch supply lines with easily accessible shutoff valves.

And when you order one of Ella's two or five piece fast fill faucet sets, as a bonus, the five foot supply lines are included.
