Question 7

You want to really make sure with a walk in bathroom that you remove spots and scum to defend the surface. Depending on whether you have soft water, hard water, or well water, you will see several types of stains and deposits on your bathtub. Get into the practice of wiping down the wet surfaces after each use to help avoid the build up scum, that will need more scrubbing later. Weekly, use cleansers to clean your walk-in tub.

You want to get familiar with the most effective cleaning techniques for your kind of bath since baths are generally either acrylic or fiberglass. Fiberglass is brittle and porous and can readily dull and spot. Do not use harsh abrasive products on fiberglass. Acrylic is nonporous and simple to clean. Do not use abrasive cleansers otherwise you might dull the finish and scrape on the bathtub. Additionally, if the current weather allows, air out the room so that it does not remain humid all day. Some manufacturers advise that you just open your own bathroom window for an hour each day to let moisture escape.

Question 8

8) How do I know these tubs will fully seal and not leak out all over the floor?

Appropriate installation and initial testing should give you a leak-proof experience, however there are episodes where they experienced escapes that customers report. Under suitable conditions, the door seal should compress making it completely leak proof. Some units include another drain under the entrance door to help prevent leaks in the event the door does leak. If this attribute is included, ask. As it covers the door in the instance of a flow and the seal, we highly advise that you get a lifetime warranty. Replacement seals will cost you. In addition, it is vital that you take great attention of the walk-in bathtub door when the bath isn't in use to prevent premature failure of the seal. Wiping down door jamb and the door seal after every use can maintain the integrity of the water seal. Follow the maintenance and care directions.

Question 10

10) Will AETNA cover the cost of equipment and installation in Idaho?

Aetna doesn't cover walkin tubs under their conventional plans in Idaho. They usually follow Medicare's criteria for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the restroom. In the event the member is bed- room or confined - some DMEs are considered medically necessary, rather than a public toilet. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it is vital for day-to-day tasks and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing considered essential and is considered a daily living action, Aetna lists toilet items which are considered necessary if a member is not able to bathe or shower without being seated or unable to transfer to and from a bathtub.

Question 11

11) How do walk in bathtubs work?

When you go into the walk in bathtub, by pulling on the handle toward you, you shut the door and seal it. Make sure that the handle is locked to be able to prevent any water loss. There are different types of handles determined by the model you choose to buy. Make certain it is a handle you could quickly work. Then, the floor drain shut and make sure that the anti-scald device has already been preset before utilizing the bathtub. Ensure that you familiarize yourself with the operating instructions to judge which speed works best for your needs, should you plan on using jets. Makers might also recommend a maximum time of use. You must drain the water when you have finished your bath, remove the drain depending on the type of drain or turn the overflow knob. Pull on the bath exit and handle the bath.

Question 12

12) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems apply a gravity only drainage system, while other makers offer power-assisted drainage systems. Generally, the drainage system in a walk in bathtub is attached to the standard tub drain, which is threaded into a horizontal conduit 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 significant when considering that most walk-in tubs take between 2 and 3 minutes to drain which necessitates the temperature in the room be comfortable while they wait. Some features may cost you more, therefore it's almost always a good idea to ask. Eventually, get to know the difference between frameless tubs and framed baths since frameless tubs often drain quicker than framed tubs, because they do not change the drain height of your existing bath. Framed baths are constructed on a steel frame and the bottom of the bath is suspended off the ground. Frameless tubs are made with an extra-strength mold that doesn't necessitate a steel frame and the underside of the tub is not suspended in the air.
