- Walk-in bathtubs can leak through the door. Walk-in bathtubs have a couple of features to make sure this doesn’t happen. First, the user-friendly handle creates a watertight seal that does not allow water to pass through. Secondly, the door of your walk-in bathtub opens inward, so water’s natural pressure pushes against the door to prevent accidentally opening.
- Walk-in bathtubs require excess hot water. A walk-in bathtub requires no more hot water than a normal tub. You won’t have any need for a larger or additional water heater or new plumbing.
- Walk-in bathtubs are difficult to get in and out. New walk-in bathtubs are designed for both the user and the caregiver. While we mentioned that most walk-in bathtubs are designed with doors that open inward, available models that open outward are also available if needed.
- Walk-in bathtubs are boring. Nope! You don’t have to compromise when choosing your dream walk-in bathtub. Many walk-in bathtubs are available with similar features such as a whirlpool tub. You can even get a specialty whirlpool tub from Jacuzzi bath.
