Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for a walk-in tub to drain?
Standard walk-in tubs drain in 3–5 minutes. Models with fast-drain technology (like the Safe Step 7100) can drain in under 2 minutes. Faster drain time means less time sitting in cooling water.
Do I have to sit in the tub while it fills and drains?
Yes — the door must be closed for the tub to be watertight, which means you enter before filling and remain until fully drained. This is why fast-drain technology is an important feature.
Can a walk-in tub be installed in any bathroom?
A standard walk-in tub requires roughly the same floor space as a standard 60-inch tub. Installation involves modifying existing plumbing. Most homes can accommodate a walk-in tub, but an in-home measurement is recommended before purchasing.
