Product Specification

Soaking Option (No Jetting)

The walk-in tub shell of the Elite is constructed with premium acrylic in a white glossy finish, supported by a stainless-steel frame with adjustable leveling legs, and reinforced with fiberglass gel coat layers. The nonporous acrylic surface is easy to clean and impermeable to mold and mildew. A textured floor, low step-in threshold, one deck and one wall mounted U-shape stainless steel grabs in a chrome finish, enhance your safety and allow quick and safe entry and exit in and out of the tub.

This standard size walk-in tub measures at 30”W x 52”L and has a spacious 22” wide seat. The Elite’s main feature is the door which is made from beautiful, custom brushed stainless steel with a frosted tempered glass window to give it a sleek, contemporary look. The door is 16 ½” wide, and swings into the tub to allow the bathers to easily enter and exit the tub without being in the way of other bathroom fixtures such as a toilet or vanity. These inward swing doors are also easier to close once inside the walk-in tub. The extended stainless steel door lever was uniquely designed to bypass the bathers’ leg when locking and unlocking the door in a seated position. The lever lock, along with the door gasket, creates a secure and watertight door seal, providing you with a safe, leak-free bathing experience. Another key feature available on all Ella inward-swing door models, is our patented detachable 360° swivel tray.

Product Features

• Dual Drain Technology, consisting of two independent 2” gravity driven drains with four 2” outlets, 2 overflows and 2 drain openers, allowing for a fast and reliable drainage
• 2 caps are also included to cover up to 2 of 4 ports if needed.
• The 2” drain outlets can be connected to the standard 1 ½” house drain with a T or Y fitting and piping provided by a professional plumber.
• It is suggested to connect all 4 outlets to the house drain for the fastest drainage possible.
• Typical drainage time is approximately +/- 80 seconds for this standard size tub within ideal in-home plumbing conditions.
• Ella gravity driven dual drains are fast and reliable because they do not require an electric pump, whereas electrical driven drains may fail due to electrical shorts or power outages.
• This model also includes one reversible end panel for left or right corner installation options. 
• The reversible end panel is used to cover the end of the tub that is exposing the walk-in tub shell.
• An additional end panel can be ordered if your tub will be installed against the wall with both ends exposed.

Hydro + Air Massage System

The Air Jet Massage System includes an air pump with a 3-speed variable push control, strategically positioned air jets for optimal therapeutic relief, and an auto-purge to maintain an air system free of any build ups. The Air Massage System’s most popular control system is the on/off push control because the buttons were designed to rise above the deck in order to make it easier to push. A smaller, digital controller is also available for the Air + Hydrotherapy Massage Package, but may be more difficult for elderly to see and operate.

This model has sixteen (16) strategically placed air jets that pull in air and blow it into the water to create a gentle, relaxing massage. Eight (8) upper, fixed flat jets work to provide relief to your back, hips and thighs, while an additional eight (8) floor jets located in the lower foot area deliver a gentle massage to your feet and legs. Additionally, two (2) of the eight (8) upper jets are bidet jets.

The Air Jet Massage System also includes an auto-purge feature. This feature engages automatically 20 minutes after the pump has been turned off to purge water out of the air jet lines. The auto-purge will run for 120 seconds to ensure your system is clear and free of moisture and excess water helping to prevent the mildew build up.

Note: This massage is more gentle than a Hydrotherapy Massage.

Optional Features

1. Controller Options

We offer two control options: Push Control or Digital Control. Our Push Controls are easy-to-use push down buttons that will operate your chosen jetting and any additional features.

The digital control is our more modern option, giving you a digital keypad from which to control your jets and additional features such as Chromatherapy LEDs and heated seat & backrest. Since the Digital Control is smaller, it may be more difficult for elderly to see and operate.

2. Ella 4-Fold Glass Shower Screen in Chrome Finish for Walk-In Tubs

The Ella brand 4-fold shower screen is the best option in the industry for walk-in tubs because of the foldable feature that’s not offered with a standard shower glass or curtains. This gives bathers an airy, open feeling with the option to easily push the screen aside. The lightweight glass, secured in an aluminum frame with quality gear hinges, is sturdy enough to endure rigorous daily use. Additionally, one of the 4-fold sections can be removed to create a 3-fold shower screen.
