Feb 21, 2016
Safety Bath is a Canadian company that has been manufacturing walk-in tubs since 1992 when it invented the first model on the market and made its mark as one of the leading innovators of walk-in bathtubs today.
Inclusive Qualities
Their faucets draw at a high flow rate which allows them to fill in under 4 minutes while the rapid drain system sets its own record in just under 90 seconds. Their aluminum doors are reliable, strong, smooth to the touch and guaranteed for life. The sturdy look of their bathtub units is owed to the stainless steel frame underneath the white acrylic and fiberglass layers.
All Safety Bath walk-in tubs are fully certified, ADA-compliant, slip resistant, reliable and safe.
With high flow taps, quick draining, and quick filling, most of these models have no weight limit and can withstand 60 – 65 gallons of water.

- The heated water jets are controlled with high-low settings.
- Chromotherapy and aromatherapy both induce psychological, emotional and physical states of relaxation and refreshment when you need them.
