Our Allen installers are prepared to make your bathroom safe so you can look after yourself by getting you the appropriate equipment.

Question 1

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

Largely you are paying for a list of safety features that are unavailable on a regular bath. These safety features are built into walk-in baths for individuals with limited freedom to decrease the chance of falling down. Model wall heights are normally 37 to 47 inches tall and contain a built in shower seat, textured floor, grab bars, anti-scald valves, in-line heater, temperature controls, along with a watertight door. A crucial aspect of walk-in tubs is that there is a low step threshold to allow a user to easily enter into the bathtub unconcerned in regards to the normal high wall of a regular tub. The walk in tubs also typically contain a cleaning function, jet treatment, and improved drain options. Furthermore, among the reasons why the cost changes among the walk in baths is that the baths are custom made depending on a person's needs rather than factory reproduced, so you could discover a bath that is specifically made for someone who needs wheelchair accessibility, a tub that fits a bigger person, or a soaker tub with jets.

Question 2

2) Are these tubs as easy to clean as normal tubs?

They are easy to clean, but unlike routine tubs, itis wise to keep a day-to-day cleaning habit with a walk-in bath using the appropriate products and following manufacturer's recommendations. You want to actually make sure with a walk in bathroom that you remove spots and scum to defend the surface. Get into the habit of wiping down the surfaces that are wet after every use to help prevent the build up scum, that will necessitate more scrubbing later. Weekly, use cleansers to wash your walk-in bath. Products that address your particular water spot and deposits ought to be considered as well as any signs that these products may destroy the finish on your bath. Since tubs are usually either acrylic or fiberglass, you need to familiarize yourself with the most effective cleaning techniques for your sort of tub. Fiberglass can easily dull and is brittle and porous and blot. Acrylic is non porous and easy to clean. Also, if the current weather allows, air the room out in order that it doesn't remain humid. Some manufacturers advise that your bathroom window opens for an hour every single day to let moisture escape.

Question 3

3) Will Medicare cover the cost of equipment and installation in Texas?

Medicare will not cover walk in tub equipment and installation costs in Texas, for the reason that they are home modifications, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment does not include physical changes to a house, only medical equipment and materials that are used to help a patient in and out of a seat or bed, or use a shower or bath simpler and safer. Consumer Affairs implies that you may want to contact Medicare to see if (for freedom safety reasons) a walk-in tub is warranted to determine whether the equipment can be partly compensated. More times than not, they won't cover it. However, if you are eligible for Medicaid, your state's program may offer you some financial assistance for a walk-in bath. You may qualify for a Home and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for particular specialized medical equipment and accessibility modifications. In the event you are a receiver of Medicare and Medicaid, it's also wise to consider the Double-Eligible Special Needs Plan. This plan is a portion of the Medicare Advantage plan for dual eligibles. Medicaid offers a complete record of waivers relevant to the elderly that we recommend that you review.

Question 4

Yes. Be mindful of the quantity of water and also atmosphere that comes out of the jets to be sure it's the proper amount which will soothe your sore muscles and aches with a massage sense. Jets can be positioned to target particular areas to provide for the greatest effects. Many Allen customers enjoy the therapeutic effect of having jets installed inside their walk in tub for a broad array of medical conditions that gain from the added relaxation.

Question 5

Make sure you get the proper dimensions for the walk-in bath in order that you do not feel cramped during a standup shower. Additionally, if you'd like to maintain your standing shower because if your faucet isn't directly against a wall, it is significantly harder to tap into your existing shower, another thing to keep in mind is to ask about the faucet place.

Question 6

6) About how long does the installation process take with your Allen installers?

Once the tub arrives, an installment requires between one and three days of work in Allen. It really depends on the scope of the job. You should let us know whether there's a vital deadline involving a household member coming for a visit or a loved one's release from Texas rehabilitation so that we can do the best we can to accommodate you.

Question 7

7) Can I choose the color / style to match my interior decoration?

Yes. Check with the manufacturers about Texas alternatives. Some only offer colours that are uniform with most toilets.

You might have to pay an added fee for a custom color since most producers make tubs in white and cream.

Question 8

Aetna will not insure walkin tubs under their plans that are traditional in Texas. Aetna does not insure walk in baths under their HMO and health network plans either. They typically follow Medicare's criteria for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the toilet. In case the member is bed- room or confined - confined some DMEs are considered necessary, as opposed to a public toilet. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it's essential for day-to-day tasks and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing considered vital and is considered a daily living action, Aetna lists bathroom items that are unable to transfer to and from a tub or considered necessary if a member is unable to bathe or shower without being seated.

Question 9

9) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems use a gravity only drainage system, while other manufacturers offer power-assisted drainage systems. Generally, the drainage system in a walk-in bathtub is attached to the standard bathtub drain, which is threaded into a flat pipe called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed under its flange with a foam washer or putty. Comparing double drain alternatives to rapid drain choices is vital when considering that most walk-in tubs take between 2 and 3 minutes to drain which demands that the temperature in the room be comfortable while they wait. Some characteristics may cost you more, therefore it is almost always advisable to ask. Finally, get to know the difference between frameless tubs and framed baths since because they do not change the drain height of your existing bath frameless tubs often empty faster than framed tubs. Framed tubs are constructed on a steel frame as well as the base of the bathtub is suspended off the ground. Frameless baths are designed with an extra-strength form that does not require a steel framework and the underside of the bathtub is not suspended in the air.

Question 10

Suitable setup and initial testing should give you a leak-proof experience, nevertheless there are incidents that customers report where they experienced outflows. Under appropriate circumstances, the weight of the water should compress the door seal making it totally leak proof. Some units include another drain below the entrance door to help prevent leaks in the event the door does leak. If this feature is included, inquire. Because it covers the door in the instance of a leak as well as the seal, we highly recommend that you simply get a lifetime warranty. In addition, it is vital that you take great attention of the walk-in tub door when the tub isn't in use to prevent premature failure of the seal. Wiping down the door seal and door jamb after every use can preserve the integrity of the water seal. Follow the care and maintenance instructions.

Yes, they can leak. Consumers who bought poorer quality fiberglass in a framed walk in tub have reported that their walk-in bath eventually revealed spider splitting in the floor region and then leaked. Another common criticism from people who bought a lousy quality bath and attempted to save money stems from door leaks. Ensure the walk-in bath is stiff and strong to prevent any flex that inhibits a water tight door. Additionally, during the setup procedure, it's exceptionally recommended that the Texas installer never lift the tub by the pipes, because it can lead to flows. Mishandling and additionally any damage that may have occurred during hauling can loosen appointments and cause leakage. Before using the walk in bath, it is important that the bathtub is tested by the installer properly according to the instruction manual. The water may have trouble emptying properly and could cause the door to leak, in case the bath isn't installed level together with the supporting attributes provided. Finally, make sure to comprehend the hazards related to the positioning of your walk-in bathtub, notably alcoves, because they have special conditions to avert leaking.
