What Is A Soaking Tub?

A soaking tub is deeper than the average bathtub. This type of bathtub features enough space and depth to allow the bather to fully submerge the entire body in warm water. This ensures a truly relaxing and enjoyable soaking experience.

Why Is Water Depth A Critical Consideration?

Water depth is important, as a deeper tub allows you to emerge your full body, enhancing your relaxation levels. Low cost bathtubs for sale online are not necessarily suitable for all shapes and sizes, but a high-quality deep bathtub can provide a therapeutic bathing experience for all bathers. Well-designed and engineered soaking bathtubs are typically 18 inches or deeper. Soaking tubs should be ergonomically designed to provide the most comfortable full-body bathing experience. Ergonomically designed soaking tubs follow the body’s shape to ensure ultimate comfort and support for the entire body. 

What Should I Consider When Buying A Soaking Tub?

• First, you should consider the NET bathing depth. This is the distance from the inner bath bottom to the overflow opening. Soaking bathtubs are designed for long, comfortable soaks, so they must be deeper and more comfortable.
• It is important to research the company that is importing, designing, and manufacturing the bathtub. Most bathtubs, which are imported from Asia tend to be approximately 13-15" bottom to overflow. Be careful of Asian importers who sell low price products of unclear origin with no design or engineering. Make sure the bathtub is not made of toxic or uncured chemicals. On the other hand, European manufacturers tend to specialize in selling shallow designs that are not suitable for the North American market. Also, beware, that not all Italian bathtub brands are the actual manufacturers, so do your homework first and ask questions!
• You should also look for useful guides and sophisticated 3D testing tools such as the Aquatica Bath Seating App . You can create an avatar to match your body type, allowing you to test-ride the product. 
• Always make sure your doors, stairs and passages are wide enough to bring the bathtub to its intended location inside the house or complex. 
• Ensure you have enough structural floor support for your new and very deep bathtub . As a rule of thumb, the floor under the bath must provide sufficient support for a minimum of 1400 lbs. (635 kg).
• Ensure an adequate hot water supply. As a rule of thumb, the hot water tank should be 70% of bathtub capacity or higher.

How Deep Is A Typical Soaking Bathtub?

Most bathtubs for sale, which are imported from Asia tend to be approximately 13-15" bottom to overflow. Soaking tubs should offer a depth of at least 17-18" or more to allow you to submerge your whole body.
