Soaking (No Jetting)
The walk-in tub shell of the Front Entry is constructed with premium acrylic in a white glossy finish, supported by a stainless-steel frame with adjustable leveling legs, and reinforced with fiberglass gel coat layers. The nonporous acrylic surface is easy to clean and impermeable to mold and mildew. A textured floor, low step-in threshold, enhance your safety and allow quick and safe entry and exit in and out of the tub.
The Ella Front Entry acrylic walk-in bathtub, measuring at 32″W x 40″L, is designed for the space-conscious, occupying less space than a typical walk-in tub yet still equipped with a spacious 24” wide molded seat. The Front Entry’s main feature is the door which is made from industrial grade durable plastic composite material with a decorative tempered glass screen to conceal the mechanical door lock system. The door is 19 1/4” wide, and swings outward from the tub to allow the bathers to comfortably enter and exit the tub. The outward swing door also creates more interior space, which allows bathers to effortlessly sit into the molded seat, pull the door and lock it. Ella U-Shape outward swinging doors use a gear and shaft driven 3-latch door lock that edges out our competition, who typically use a single latch/lever system. A 3-latch door system creates a more secure and watertight door seal, providing you with a safe, leak-free bathing experience.
One of the best and exclusive features of the Front Entry is its 2” gravity driven drain system. The drain is outfitted with its own overflow and stainless-steel cable operated drain opener with extended handle for an easier grip. Typical drainage time is approximately +/-80 seconds at ideal in-home plumbing conditions. Having a gravity driven 2” drain not only provides you with quick and reliable drainage, allowing you to safely drain and exit the walk-in tub. The two-inch drain can be connected using Tee or Y 2” pipe connector to the standard 1 ½” or 2” house drain. If possible, it is recommended to connect into 2” or 3” house drain for a faster drainage time. Ella gravity driven drains are fast and reliable because they do not require an electric pump. Whereas electrical driven drains may fail due to electrical shorts or power outages.
The Front Entry also includes two (2) side panels. These panels cover the ends of the tub to give your walk-in tub a completed look.

1. Heated Seat & Back
