Question 1

1) Do these tubs use more water than conventional tubs?

Yes. A walk in bathtub is normally taller than an average bath tub, which comprises about 2 1/2 feet of water on average. Some manufacturers say that you just use the same amount of water as a typical shower if a standard shower is 7 minutes and you also use 7 gallons of water a minute. Most of the walk in tubs available on the market have a 40-80 gallon capacity. In reality, many manufacturers advise that you have a hot water tank that holds at least 50 gallons, though some tubs will operate efficiently if you fill them with 40-60 gallons.

Once the tub arrives, an installment requires between one and three days of labor in Las Vegas. It certainly depends upon the scope of the job. You must let us know whether there is a critical deadline involving a household member coming for a visit or a loved one's release from Nevada rehabilitation so that we can do the best we can to accommodate you.

Question 4

4) Will Medicare cover the cost of equipment and installation in Nevada?

Medicare doesn't cover walk in tub equipment and installation costs in Nevada, because they are house alterations, not durable medical equipment. Durable medical equipment does not include physical changes to a house, simply medical equipment and supplies which are accustomed to help a patient in and out of a chair or bed, or make use of a shower or bath easier and safer. Consumer Affairs indicates that you may want to contact Medicare to see if (for mobility safety reasons) a walk in tub is warranted to determine if the gear can be partly compensated. More often than not, they won't cover it. However, if you are qualified for Medicaid, the system in your state may provide you with some financial assistance for a walk in tub. You may qualify for a House and Community Based Service (HCBS) waiver to play for particular specialized medical equipment and availability adjustments. If you are a recipient of Medicare and Medicaid, you must also think about the Double-Eligible Special Needs Strategy. This strategy is part of the Medicare Advantage plan for dual eligibles. Medicaid provides a complete record of waivers related to the elderly that we suggest that you review.

Question 5

Yes, manufacturers do offer do it yourself installments of a bathroom conversion kit. Depending on whether you have the correct tools and technical familiarity with the instruments, it's possible. Yet, many times, someone thinks it's going to be inexpensive to purchase all the proper tools. These tools could be costly, so be sure to compare the cost of purchasing all of the tools along with the expense of your time learning just how to install the kit together with the expense of a professional installation. Then the instructions might seem fairly easy, in case you're someone who does a great deal of home improvements. Simply make certain they examine the unit in line with producer 's instructions and the unit you purchased didn't get harmed during transportation.

Question 6

6) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems use a gravity just drainage system, while other makers offer power-assisted drainage systems. Normally, the drainage system in a walk in bath is attached to the standard bath drain, which is threaded into a flat conduit called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed with a foam washer or putty under its flange. Comparing double drain alternatives to fast drain choices is important when considering that most walk-in baths take between 2 and 3 minutes to drain which requires that the temperature in the room be comfortable while they wait. Some characteristics may cost you more, therefore it's always advisable to inquire. Finally, get to be aware of the difference between frameless baths since frameless tubs often drain faster than framed baths, because they don't alter the drain height of your existing tub and framed baths. Framed baths are built on a steel frame and also the base of the bath is suspended off the floor. Frameless baths are designed with an extra-strength mold that doesn't require a steel frame and the underside of the bathtub is not hung in the air.

Question 7

7) How do walk in bathtubs work?

When you enter the walk-in bath, by pulling the handle toward you, you close the doorway and seal it. Make sure that the handle is locked in order to avoid any water loss. There are several types of handles determined by the version you choose to buy. Be sure it is a handle you could certainly function. Following that, you shut the floor drain and make sure the anti-scald device has been preset before utilizing the bath. Once the bathtub fills to the desired depth, your bath is prepared. Makers might also advocate a maximum time of use. After you've completed your bath, turn the overflow knob or remove the drain depending on the kind of drain you must drain the water. Pull on the bath handle and exit the bath.

Additionally during carrying any damage that may have happened can loosen appointments and mishandling and cause leakage. Before using the walk in tub, it is significant that the installer test the bathtub properly according to the instruction manual.
