Question 2

2) Is there a way to get Jacuzzi jets in my tub?

Yes. Be careful of the quantity of water and atmosphere that comes out of the jets to ensure it is the appropriate amount which will soothe your sore muscles and pains with a massage sense. Jets may be positioned to target specific areas to provide for the very best effects. Many Ogden customers take pleasure in the therapeutic effect of having jets installed within their walk-in bathtub for a wide range of health conditions that benefit from the additional easiness.

Question 3

3) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems apply a gravity only drainage system, while other manufacturers 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 using putty or a foam washer under its flange. Since a bather cannot leave the bath until all of the water is drained, the huge difference is the fact that makers have tried to decrease the waiting time since sitting there waiting for the water can leave a bather feeling chilled. Comparing double drain alternatives to fast drain options is vital when considering that most walk in tubs take between 2 and 3 minutes to drain which necessitates that the temperature in the room be comfortable while they wait. Some attributes may cost you more, so it's almost always advisable to ask. Eventually, get to be aware of the difference between frameless tubs and framed tubs since because they do not change the drain height of your existing bath frameless tubs often empty quicker than framed tubs. Framed tubs are built on a steel frame and the base of the bath is hung off the floor. Frameless tubs are made with an extra-strength mold that really doesn't demand a steel framework and the bottom of the tub is not suspended in the air.

Question 4

4) Will a tub like this add to my Ogden home’s resale value?

Should you reside in a Ogden retirement community, installing a walk-in bathroom may raise the value of your own home. Otherwise, it probably won't raise the value of your dwelling. Since modifications to your bathroom don't usually increase the value of your house, cost can be qualified for the medical expense deduction for tax purposes both federally and in Utah if the principal purpose of the enhancements is to accommodate a home to the handicap of the citizen, their partner or dependent living there.

Question 5

5) Will AETNA cover the cost of equipment and installation in Utah?

Aetna doesn't insure walkin bathtubs under their conventional plans in Utah. Aetna does not cover walk in baths under their HMO and health network plans either. They generally follow Medicare's standards for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the bathroom. In the event the member is bed- room or confined - some DMEs are considered necessary, rather than a convenience. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it's essential for daily tasks and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing is considered a daily living activity and considered essential, Aetna lists bathroom items that are considered necessary if a member is not able to bathe or shower without being seated or unable to transfer to and from a tub.

Question 6

6) Can I make one of these myself?

Question 7

The flooring in the bathroom has to have a structural support strength that transcends the weight of the bathtub as well as the weight of the water. Our Ogden installer will check to ascertain if the floor is level and otherwise if it's not, then they'll make use of the leveling legs to adjust the level of the tub. Obviously, the previous tub will have to be removed. In addition, the if replacing, the wall or tile in the area will have to be removed.

Question 8

8) Do these tubs drain normally?

Yes. Sometimes, however, it is crucial to change the pipes depending on the positioning of the drains. Installers may need to add a fitting to the existing wastewater conduit for a walk-in bathtub. Existing pipes may allow for slower drain times or faster drain times.

Question 10

10) Why are these tubs so much more expensive than normal tubs?

Mostly you are paying for a listing of safety features that are unavailable on a regular bathtub. These safety features are built into walk in baths for individuals with limited freedom to lower the likelihood of falling down. Model wall heights are typically 37 to 47 inches tall and include a built in shower seat, textured floor, grab bars, anti-scald valves, in-line heater, temperature controls, as well as a water-tight door. An essential aspect of walk-in baths is that there's a low step threshold to permit a user to easily enter into the bathtub unconcerned regarding the conventional high wall of a normal bathtub. The walk in baths also typically contain improved drain options, jet therapy, and a cleaning function. Furthermore, among the reasons why the price changes among the walk in tubs is that the tubs are custom-made depending on an individual 's demands rather than factory copied, so you could discover a bath that's especially made for someone who desires wheelchair access, a bath that fits a larger individual, or a soaker tub with jets.

Question 11

11) About how long does the installation process take with your Ogden installers?

Once the tub arrives, an installation requires between one and three days of work in Ogden. It certainly depends on the scope of the work. You must make us know whether there's a critical deadline involving a household member coming for a visit or a loved one's release from Utah rehabilitation so that we can do the best we can to accommodate you.

Question 12

12) Is there a way to re-sell the tub once we are done with it?

You can re-sell or locate used walk-in baths being sold online. Nonetheless, lots of folks generally want to make sure they are purchasing a walk-in bathtub that personally meets with their needs for the long-term. They're less likely to choose a huge risk by paying the removal of their present tub and also all of the costs associated with shipping without a little more investment and guarantee in the status and quality of their purchase. There's not really a huge marketplace for used plumbing fixtures. Eventually, if you do believe you might attempt to resell your walk-in bathtub, the next buyer may want to understand whether the lifetime warranty is extended to other owners as well or if they are going to need to cover the costs related to a door seal or other component damages that could occur with use.
