Some systems employ a gravity simply drainage system, while other manufacturers offer power assisted drainage systems. Usually, the drainage system in a walk-in bath is attached to the normal bath drain, which is threaded into a flat conduit called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed under its flange using a foam washer or putty. Some features may cost you more, so it is always advisable to ask. Finally, get to know the difference between frameless baths since frameless tubs tend to empty quicker than framed tubs, because they don't change the drain height of your existing tub and framed tubs. Framed baths are assembled on a steel frame and the base of the tub is dangled off the floor.
