BASICS Bathtubs Features
• Constructed in durable Lucite® cross-linked cast acrylic, with a multi-layered backing of fiberglass / resin / titanium. Lucite is extremely scratch- and stain-resistant, yet renewable because the color goes all the way through the material. The surface is non-porous, which makes cleaning and sanitizing easier.
• Rectangular and corner tubs also receive reinforcement of ½" round metal tubing in all sides.
• Standard in white or available in biscuit for an up charge.
• Integrated front skirt and tile flange for alcove installation comes standard on several tub models, and most drop-in tub models may be transformed to accommodate alcove installation when specified with factory-installed installation aids at the time of order.
• Non-porous surface for ease of maintenance and more effective sanitizing.
• Textured bottom is standard on all drop-in tub models and compliant with ASTM C 1025-07 coefficient of friction test.

Soaking Tub
• Ergonomically designed interiors for comfort.

Whirlpools
Enjoy the power of a deep, penetrating massage. This type of hydrotherapy comes from strategically placed jets that may be targeted to specific areas of the body.
• Directionally-adjustable point-massage jets can be targeted to specific areas of the body.
• Whisper-quiet pump allows for relaxation.
• Silent low-profile air volume control gives bather control of whirlpool hydrotherapy experience, from a gentle and relaxing sensation to a deeper hydrotherapy massage.
• Optional integrated heating system to maintain the temperature of the water for extended therapy.
• Rigid PVC piping smartly plumbed to help keep the whirlpool plumbing harness clean, promoting sanitization.
Air Baths
The blissful combination of water, heat and air movement creates an incomparable effect that is as therapeutic as it is relaxing. The movement of millions of tiny air bubbles activates the lymphatic systems, increases blood flow, stimulates endorphins and relieves sore muscles and other painful ailments.
• 12 low-profile air jets are installed on the tub floor with color-matching air caps.
• Check valves in jets prevent water from entering air lines for the cleanest air bath experience.
• A 3/4 bhp heated blower with automatic purge system activates 20-minutes after use.
• Pre-leveled foam base for easy installation.
• Multiple built-in anti-return check valves for hygienic operation.
• Optional heating system to maintain the temperature of the water for extended therapy.
