I love my tub. I have fibromyalgia and small fiber neuropathy and water usually hurts my skin the tub allows me to finally enjoy a bath after 9 years! So happy I found your ad.
My Mom fell and broke her hip last year trying to step into her bathtub so I had one of these put in to keep her safe. She's been enjoying it now for over a year and honestly I wish I had done it long ago. Now I have to buy another one! My wife has bad arthritis so she went over to my Mom's house to try it out and she was amazed how it helped her. These tubs are not cheap but how much is it worth to keep your loved ones safe and allow them to stay in the home they love.
Could you leave a detailed review, including the price, the brand of tub, the size, what you like, if there is something you dislike, whatever you think is important
@@babewhowalks Obviously the brand is Safe Step, I don't know what the size it is but I remember the rep said they hve 3 sizes and that they are all the same price. My Mom is 5ft. 3 in and she has plenty of room. I have never used the tub but my Mom says she loves how it helps her sleep and helps with her arthritis. The other thing she loves is the bidet jet tht helps her keep her clean. As far as cost, I paid about $17K. By the way, before i bought the tib I also got quotes from Kohler and American Standard. Both were more money and didn't have the features that Moms tub has. Another reason for my decison was that Kohler and American Standard (home depot) uses independent contractors to do the work whild Safe Step makes and install the tub themselves. Hope this helps. I'll make another post after my wifes tub is installed.
I just ordered one 5/18/23 Im expecting it in about a month. I cant wait. I have an 84 Y.O. father-in-law moving in with my wife and I and i had foot and ankle surgery and need hip surgery. im very stoked about the jets.
i saw one in a showroom, company had it just to compare it, they didnt even sell them. that says a lot right there. anyways, a drain under the door to catch leaks, omg. a plastic door, egh. a glued on door seal. like the fewest fewest of all the tubs this place had. a 1/2" faucet, many had 3/4", fiberglass w gelcoat, brittle&chips. my sales guy had some cahones, started at 33k, we worked down to 23k. i think he wanted to balance my checkbook for me. used car sales, but polished and aggressive. dang. do some more research before you buy one of these. lots of good videos out there folks.
They don't tell you. You must have a hot water tank that is twice the size or a rapid heater installed. Halfway through filling up, the water is cold. Most household hot water tanks can't handle the load.
@back woods vapes your safe will hold 40 to 80 gallons depending on model. Your hot water tank will start to pull cold water in and heat it. As you pull more and more water your tank will not be able to keep the temp stable. It's a BTU issue. Not a volume issue. I soak all the way up to shoulders. Installed a rapid heater inline
@Jacques M your safe needs 40 to 80 gallons depending. Your hot water heater at min 60 gallons still will not keep up with the demand. It is a straight up BTU issue. Use a rapid heater in line. Or, upgrade to a 200 gallon heater. If you are going to take bath after bath after bath. You will thank the gods for having direct access to hot water. Take 40 gallons out of your 60min and see how long it takes to heat the cold water rushing in to replace what you took.
We also have Walk-In Showers with an EZ Step entry or a barrier free entry. If you call (800) 937-5304 we can send a safety specialist out to your house to talk to you about what we have to offer that fits your needs. Or you can visit SafeStepTub.com if you're not ready to talk to someone. Have a wonderful day!
Is there a kill switch because i been in my house a year and it has this walkin tub in it but the touch pad switches arent working i even unplugged it from the wall mount under the tub and use the wall piece by the sink .. still nothing ?
Wow never realized you have to WAIT for that water to heat up While you're in there, and you Can't just get out, you have to wait for it to fully drain. And you better be prepared for a higher water bill and heat bill to fill that enormous amount of water it's going to take. Thanks for the video's of the reality. Not for me
We offer 3 sizes of tubs and everybody's body size (water displacement) is different. So the amount of water it takes to fill any tub will be different for everyone. If you'd like to talk to a consultant to find what's right for you, give us a call or visit SafeStepTub.com. We're here to help.
My concern is leaks. I have stayed at really nice hotels (no, really nice hotels don’t have the safestep tub😂) but even the really nice showers they have all leak a little.
No need to concern yourself with leaks. Unlike showers our Walk-In Tub has a rubber sealed door that opens inward. After locking the door, the seal creates a water tight barrier. The weight of the water pressing on the door also helps seal the water in and makes it virtually impossible to open while in the tub. Our tub is the height of luxury. If you want to know more, visit SafeStepTub.com or give us a call.
Ok, if you have a walk in tub and you aren’t using it, it is time to take a bath. I had a home health care worker over and when I told her how much I enjoyed my tub she said that other clients of hers didn’t use theirs. If you are in this category, you really have taken a bath on a very expensive therapeutic and maybe should have taken a cruise instead. The main concern her other clients had was it took too long to fill. Ok, what did you do while your old tub was filling up? Maybe turn on the faucets and go make youself a grilled cheese? Pour a glass of wine? Light candles? Unfortunately, you have to be in the tub now and all these chores done and at the ready for your new tub experience. I don’t know what kind of water pressure you have, but as the faucet on mine is widemouthed, there is significant force. I wash my hair while my tub fills. As I pay enormous amounts of money to make my hair a totally unconvincing color and want to keep it that way, I use cool water, turn it to hot while working the lather, rinse, repeat for conditioner. By that time, the water is half way up my calfs and time to turn on jets and add bubbles or salts or keep it naked, have a sip of my drink, water up to seat by this time. Adjust bubbles and settle in. During this time, I might do some leg lifts or bicycle my legs to keep those muscles going. With the water, it is low impact yet, some resistance. Then, before you know it, that water is up to your ta-tas. Ladies, time tore-aquaint yourselves with that bidet feature ( I call mine Ramone). Relax, enjoy, sip your drink. Nibble your chocolates. When it is time, pull the plug. As soon as the water level reaches my waist, I reach for a towel. I dry off as the water recedes and when it is all gone, prepare my exit. At this time, gravity will-have seriously intensified in your bathroom. Be sure to use safety measures in your exit. Pull the door to a resting stop and your tub should flush itself out. Time to moisturize, take care of your hair, and reminisce about the weightless experience you just had and wonder why you haven’t been doing this a couple of times a week if not more often. If it has been some time since you used your tub, pour a gallon of white vinegar into the tub and fill to the jets, run it for enough time to flush them out, drain and rinse, or repeat if it makes you more comfortable. Ask your dealer. So, tub away! Enjoy, do something wonderful for yourself.
We love our safe step tub. It is great for me because of my Fibromyalgia. I also can sit and shower which is safer. Does anyone know how to turn the voice down or off if needed?
I have a question maybe someone on here could help me answer. My parents bought one of these. What I want to know is about the draining system. If you take a shower in it and that isn’t turned to the left, would it cause the tub part to hold water or cause any kind of leakage outside of the tub… thanks.
@@danieleberly9629 sorry but this question was just worded wrong. I didn’t know anything about these tubs and my parents were complaining of a leak they believed to of been cause by it. Wasn’t making sense to me how they explained it, just that their basement/garage kept leaking water from somewhere. I watched this video trying to learn a little before I could make it up there. I was confused because they said it had a secondary drainage system or something leaving them to believe that the tub was causing the leak. Come to find out it was their hot water heater that had completely busted 2 days later. 🤷♀️ I know that when you close a drain the tub fills with water 😂🤦♀️ that’s kinda funny tho now that I reread that. I myself didn’t realize that this tub drain was also controlled by the lever on the tub. That’s where the confusion came in. They had me thinking it was a different drain they were speaking of. So I thought there was 2, one for a shower one for a bath.
Yes. If you take a bath at the same time every day, we recommend you have your combi-boiler installer plumb the combi-boiler to recirculate the hot water through the pipes around that time, so you have hot water on demand.
Idk ,? I wonder if the jets are filtered when it recirculating..🤔🤔 might want to rinse off well after your dream bath session...a and sell your grandkids for the down payment😂😂😂
Well, we don't take children as payment, but we do offer financing. And yes, we do recommend to shower off with the hand held shower wand before your bath, if you're really dirty.

Our tub was $18,000 after deposit with all the bells and whistles and lifetime warranty. I do wish our space had allowed for a longer version. I am confused about the bubbles in the tub because we were told not to use bubble bath ever. I will tell you it is well worth the price. Because I am handicapped it is nice because I can sit and my husband can stand so he can help me with my hair and we both can shower. My skin has become so much more soft due to the Micro bubbles. We have owned it for 6 months now. I hope this helps. Please know we are not wealthy so this was a big decision. But we would do it again.
There are two levers that guide the water. If you choose to have the rain shower option you move one lever to choose rain shower or regular shower head on hose. Then there is the lever that starts the water directed to rub or shower options.
I just bought one and I’m only 63! My old tub was so tall to step in that I almost fell several times . I live alone and I don’t have a desire to fall in the tub. I just had it installed yesterday and I’m looking forward to trying it out !

I know I'm not old but want one of these soooo bad
Give us a call or visit SafeStepTub.com to get the process started! Can't wait to hear from you.
They don't tell you. You must have a hot water tank that is twice the size or a rapid heater installed. Halfway through filling up, the water is cold. Most household hot water tanks can't handle the load.
Don’t they have a built in heater that reheats the water in the tub as it circulates? You must buy this with the tub as an option I think.
Just had a quote on one at my grandmas she has a 70 gallon tank and he said it was plenty big enough
@back woods vapes your safe will hold 40 to 80 gallons depending on model. Your hot water tank will start to pull cold water in and heat it.

Actually... It is written in the contract... You need a minimum of a 60 gallon tank...
@Jacques M your safe needs 40 to 80 gallons depending. Your hot water heater at min 60 gallons still will not keep up with the demand. It is a straight up BTU issue.

@lmao k So true!

Great idea. The problem is a person who needs a tub with a door may not be able to climb stairs. How about a tub with a flat entry?

That's called a shower, brainiac.
That woman in the tub looks like Camilla Sparv, actress from the '60s and '70s. Anyone agree?

Love the concept but can't have that much water here in California due to drought.

I had my first tub yesterday and me wife is taking her turn now. I loved it and it relaxed my muscles while cleaning my skin very well!😊
I wish the shower pipe was longer so I could reach higher on my body and hair.
How long does the tub take to fill with water? How many gallons does it hold?
An on demand water heater would take care of it
We love our safe step tub. It is great for me because of my Fibromyalgia. I also can sit and shower which is safer.
Does anyone know how to turn the voice down or off if needed?
Are you talking about the voice on the Bluetooth Speaker when you turn the tub on?
Go on youtube and google your style of tub and it should pull up videos on instruction
