Unlike typical accessible bathtubs, which look institutional, the Ava Bath from Aquatic features a sleek, modern design that adds a touch of class to any bathroom. The tub’s automated door lowers to open and rises to close, making entry and exit equally as simple for people who walk up or are in wheelchairs. In contrast, accessible tub doors typically swing in and out, requiring a higher level of mobility for maneuvering around both the door and tub threshold. The tub also features a roomy, benchless bathing well and a patent-pending, quick-drain feature that empties the 70-gallon tub in 30 seconds or less.
