Question 9

9) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems use a gravitation only drainage system, while other manufacturers offer power assisted drainage systems. Usually, the drainage system in a walk-in tub is attached to the normal tub drain, which is threaded into a flat conduit called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed with putty or a foam washer under its flange. The big difference is the fact that manufacturers have tried to reduce the waiting time since sitting there waiting for the water to drain can leave a bather feeling chilled since a bather cannot leave the tub until all the water is drained. Comparing double drain alternatives to accelerated drain choices is important when considering that most walk-in baths take between 2 and 3 minutes to drain which demands the temperature in the room be comfortable while they wait. Some features may cost you more, therefore it's almost always a good idea to ask. Finally, get to know the difference between frameless baths and framed tubs since because they do not change the drain height of your existing bath frameless tubs often drain quicker than framed tubs. Framed tubs are constructed on a steel frame and the base of the tub is dangled off the floor. Frameless baths are made with an extra-strength mold that doesn't need a steel frame and the bottom of the bath is not hung in the air.

In case you are a recipient of Medicaid and Medicare, you need to also consider the Dual-Eligible Special Needs Strategy. This strategy is part of the Medicare Advantage plan for dual eligibles. Medicaid offers an entire listing of waivers relevant to the elderly that we recommend that you review.
