Question 3

Many walk-in tubs are mounted to a stainless steel welded support frame with leveling feet that's included with your bathtub that was purchased. The flooring in the bathroom should have a structural support strength that exceeds the weight of the tub as well as the weight of the water. Our Cranston installer will check to ascertain if the floor is level and otherwise if it is not, then they'll make use of the leveling legs to adjust the degree of the tub.

Yes. There are walkin tub installments that give you a sizable standing place for standup showers. You can shower sitting down or standing up. Be sure to get the correct dimensions for the walk-in bathtub so you do not feel cramped during a standup shower. Additionally, should you need to maintain your standing shower because if your faucet isn't right against a wall, it is considerably more difficult to tap into your existing shower, another thing to keep in mind would be to ask about the faucet location.

Question 5

5) How do I know these tubs will fully seal and not leak out all over the floor?

Initial testing and appropriate setup should offer you a leak proof experience, nonetheless there are incidents that customers report where they experienced escapes. Under suitable conditions, the weight of the water should compress the door seal making it totally leak proof. Some units include a second drain under the entrance door to help prevent leaks if the door does leak. Ask if this feature is included. Because it covers the seal as well as the door in the instance of a flow, we highly advise that you just get a lifetime warranty. Many people replace the door seal on a walk in bathtub themselves. Also, it's vital that you take good care of the walk-in bath door when the tub isn't in use to prevent premature failure of the seal. Wiping down door jamb and the door seal after each use can maintain the integrity of the water seal. Follow the care and maintenance directions.

Question 8

8) Will AETNA cover the cost of equipment and installation in Rhode Island?

Aetna will not insure walk in bathtubs under their conventional plans in Rhode Island. Aetna doesn't insure walk in tubs under their HMO and health network plans either. They generally follow Medicare's criteria for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the bathroom. In case the member is bed- room or confined - some DMEs are considered medically necessary, as opposed to a public toilet. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it's necessary for day-to-day tasks and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing is considered a daily living activity and considered crucial, bathroom items which are considered necessary if a member is not able to bathe or shower without being seated or incapable to transfer to and from a bath are listed by Aetna.

Question 9

9) Will a tub like this look bad for my homeowner’s insurance in Rhode Island?

Many updated homeowner's insurance policies protect against flooding from your pipes and appliances. Check with your Cranston homeowner's insurance to ensure it will cover you against this type of damage. You may require a house modification license from the Cranston, RI building department to install a bath, especially if walls need to be removed to fit your toilet plans. Most importantly, in the event you needed a license and you did not get one AND your house suffers from damage from the installed walk-in bath, your homeowner's insurance may not cover your losses. If you're planning on selling your Cranston dwelling, there are heaps of buyer beware messages out there which will direct prospective buyers from your home since it does affect homeowner's insurance if there have been any advancements without licenses. Buyers see the permits as well as their homeowners insurance as protections on their investments in houses.

Question 10

10) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems use a gravity only drainage system, while other makers offer power-assisted drainage systems. Normally, the drainage system in a walk-in bath is attached to the standard tub drain, which is threaded into a flat conduit called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed under its flange using putty or a foam washer. The large difference is that manufacturing companies have attempted to decrease the waiting time since sitting there waiting for the water can leave a bather feeling chilled since a bather cannot leave the bath until all of the water is drained. Comparing double drain options to accelerated drain choices is vital when considering that most walk in bathtubs take between 2 and 3 minutes to drain which demands that the temperature in the room be comfortable while they wait. Some features may cost you more, therefore it's always wise to ask. Eventually, get to know the difference between frameless baths and framed baths since frameless baths tend to drain quicker than framed tubs, because they don't alter the drain height of your existing bath. Framed baths are made on a steel framework as well as the base of the tub is dangled off the ground. Frameless tubs are made with an extra-strength form that doesn't need a steel framework and the bottom of the bath is not hung in the air.

Question 11

11) Do these tubs use more water than conventional tubs?

Yes. A walk-in tub is not usually shorter than an average bath tub, which includes about 2 1/2 feet of water on average. Some producers say if a regular shower is 7 minutes that you just use exactly the same amount of water as a shower that is regular and also you use 7 gallons of water a minute. Most of the walk in baths available on the market have a 40-80 gallon capacity. In reality, many manufacturers recommend that you've got a hot water tank that holds at least 50 gallons, though some tubs will operate effectively if you fill them with 40-60 gallons.

Question 12

12) Do Walk-In Bathtubs Leak?

Yes, they could leak. Consumers who bought more inferior quality fiberglass in a framed walkin tub have reported that their walk-in bathtub eventually showed spider splitting in the ground region and then leaked. Another common complaint from people who attempted to save cash and bought a lousy quality bath comes from door escapes. Be sure that the walk in bathtub is inflexible and strong to avoid any flex that inhibits a water tight door. Additionally any damage that could have occurred during carrying can loosen appointments and mishandling and cause leakage. Before using the walk-in bath, it's significant that the installer examine the bathtub correctly according to the instruction manual. The water may have trouble draining correctly and may create the door to leak in case the tub isn't installed level together with the supporting features supplied. Eventually, be sure to understand the dangers related to the placement of your walk in tub, particularly alcoves, since they have special requirements to avoid leaking.
