Question 1

1) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems use a gravity simply drainage system, while other makers offer power-assisted drainage systems. Usually, the drainage system in a walk-in bathtub is attached to the normal tub drain, which is threaded into a horizontal conduit called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed under its flange with putty or a foam washer. Since a bather cannot leave the tub until all the water is emptied, the large difference is that manufacturing companies have attempted to reduce the waiting time since sitting there waiting for the water can leave a bather feeling chilled. Some features may cost you more, so it is always wise to ask. Eventually, get to be aware of the difference between frameless baths and framed tubs since because they do not alter the drain height of your existing tub frameless baths often empty faster than framed baths. Framed baths are made on a steel frame and also the base of the bath is hung off the ground. Frameless baths are made with an extra-strength form that really doesn't demand a steel frame and the underside of the bath is not hung in the air.
