Walk In Bathtub Great For Elderly, Disabled
![]() |
"It's ideal for the elderly and disabled who don't want to have to depend on any-one else for daily hygiene," says M.P. Farmiloe of Gainsborough Bathrooms, Birmingham, England, the company that developed the new tub.
It holds twice as much water as a standard-size tub and is fitted with whirlpool-type jet nozzles to relax muscles, aid circulation, and ease pain. Optional grab handles can be fitted to the top and there's a thermostatic valve concealed under the tank that keeps water temperature at a safe, pre-set level as it enters the tub.
Fits into a space of just 37 by 42 in. and connects to conventional plumbing. The company is looking for a U.S. distributor.
