When you enter the walk in tub, you shut the door and seal it by pulling the handle toward you. Make sure that the handle is locked in order to prevent any water decline. There are different kinds of handles determined by the model you choose to buy. Make sure it is a handle which you can certainly function. Then, the floor drain shut and make sure that the anti-scald device has been preset before utilizing the bath. Your bath is prepared, once the tub fills to the desired depth. Ensure that you familiarize yourself with the operating instructions to estimate which speed works best for your requirements, in case you plan on using jets. Once you have completed your bath, turn the overflow knob or remove the drain determined by the kind of drain you have to empty the water. Pull on the tub handle and leave the bath.

Question 3

3) Will a tub like this look bad for my homeowner’s insurance in Pennsylvania?

Check with your Chester homeowner's insurance to make sure it is going to cover you against this type of damage. You may require a home adjustment permit from the Chester, PA building department to set up a bath, particularly if walls need to be removed to match your bathroom plans. Most of all, in case you needed a license and you didn't get one AND your home suffers from damage from the installed walk-in tub, your losses may not be covered by your homeowner's insurance. In case you plan on ever selling your Chester house, there are heaps of buyer beware messages out there that will steer potential buyers from your house since it does impact homeowner's insurance if there have been any improvements without licenses. Buyers see the permits as well as their homeowners insurance as protections on their investments in dwellings.

Question 4

4) What types of financing are available in Pennsylvania if insurance doesn't cover home modifications?

The American Elder Care Research Organization lists several other financial assistance avenues to think about when searching for help to buy your walk-in bath.

Question 5

5) Is there a way to re-sell the tub once we are done with it?

You can re sell or locate used walk in bathtubs being sold online. Nonetheless, lots of people typically desire to make sure that they are purchasing a walk in bathtub that personally fulfills their needs for the long-term. They're less inclined to choose a big risk by paying the removal of their present bathtub as well as all the costs related to transportation without assurance and a little more investment in quality and the state of their purchase. There isn't actually a huge market for used plumbing fixtures. If you're uncertain how long you are going to be at your Chester residence and can not justify a long-term care option of a major walkin bathtub installation, then there are easy step retrofits that give you the ability to return the bathroom to an unmodified bathroom to avoid turning potential buyers away who don't want to pay for a big removal. Finally, if you do think you could try to resell your walk in bathtub, the next buyer may want to be aware of if the lifetime guarantee is extended to other owners as well or if they are going to need to cover the costs associated with a door seal or alternative part damages that may occur with use.

Consumer Affairs urges that an owner that is original purchase a lifetime guarantee to give buyers peace of mind about leaks. Also, ask if the lifetime guarantee is extended to other owners as well. For a set amount of years, this will be included for most Pennsylvania home installments.

Question 7

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

Largely you're paying for a list of safety features that are unavailable on a regular bathtub. These safety features are built into walk-in baths for persons with limited freedom to decrease the chance of falling down. An essential feature of walk in baths is that there is a low step threshold to allow a user to easily enter into the bathtub unconcerned concerning the normal high wall of a normal bathtub. The walk in bathtubs also usually comprise a cleaning function, jet therapy, and enhanced drain alternatives. Moreover, among the reasons why the price changes among the walk in tubs is that the baths are custom-made depending on a person's demands rather than factory copied, in order to discover a tub that is specially made for somebody who wants wheelchair accessibility, a tub that fits a larger person, or a soaker tub with jets.

Question 8

8) Will AETNA cover the cost of equipment and installation in Pennsylvania?

Aetna does not cover walk-in tubs under their traditional plans in Pennsylvania. Aetna doesn't cover walk-in bathtubs under their HMO and health network plans either. They generally follow Medicare's standards 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 convenience. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it is vital for day-to-day tasks and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing considered crucial and is considered a daily living activity, bathroom items which are considered medically necessary if a member is unable to bathe or shower without being seated or unable to transfer to and from a tub are listed by Aetna.

Question 9

9) Do Walk-In Bathtubs Leak?

Yes, they can leak. Consumers who bought poorer quality fiberglass in a framed walk-in tub have reported that their walk in bath finally showed spider cracking in the floor region and then leaked. Another common criticism from people who tried to save money and bought a lousy quality tub comes from door leaks. Be sure the walk in tub is powerful and stiff to avoid any flex that inhibits a water tight door. Also any damage that could have occurred during transporting can loosen fittings and mishandling and cause leakage. Before using the walk in bath, it is significant that the installer examine the bathtub properly according to the instruction manual. If the bath isn't installed degree together with the supporting attributes provided, the water may cause the door to leak and may have trouble emptying correctly. Eventually, be sure to understand the hazards linked to the positioning of your walk-in tub, notably alcoves, because they have special conditions to prevent leaking.

Question 10

10) Will a tub like this add to my Chester home’s resale value?

Should you reside in a Chester retirement community, installing a walk-in bathroom may increase the value of your home. Otherwise, it likely will not increase the value of your home. Since modifications to your toilet do not typically raise the value of your house, cost may qualify for the medical expense deduction for tax purposes both federally and in Pennsylvania if the primary intention of the improvements would be to accommodate a dwelling to the incapacity of the taxpayer, their partner or dependent living there.

Question 11

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

Initial testing and suitable setup should offer you a leak-proof encounter, yet there are episodes that customers report where they experienced flows. Under appropriate conditions, the door seal should compress making it totally leak proof. Some units include a second drain below the entrance door to help prevent escapes if the door does leak. Ask if this feature is included. As it covers the door in the case of a leak as well as the seal, we highly recommend that you just get a lifetime guarantee. Some people replace the door seal on a walk in bathtub themselves. In addition, it is very important to take great attention of the walk in tub door when the tub isn't in use to prevent premature failure of the seal. Wiping door jamb and the door seal down after each use can preserve the integrity of the water seal. Follow the care and maintenance directions. Additionally, any small group of dirt or debris on the door seal or where the seal comes in touch with the door jamb can lead to a minor escape through the door seal, so consistently wipe down the door seal.

Question 12

12) Is there any additional structural support needed before installation?

Many walk in tubs are mounted to a stainless steel welded support frame with leveling feet that is included with your purchased bath. The flooring in the bathroom must have a structural support strength that transcends the weight of the bathtub plus the weight of the water. Our Chester installer will check to determine if the floor is level and otherwise if it is not, then they are going to use the leveling legs to adjust the amount of the tub. Of course, the previous bath will have to be eliminated. In addition, the if replacing tile or the wall in the region will have to be removed.
