Soaker Model
The Seaspray 202 Soaker is the most affordable choice since it does not include water and air massage systems, chromotherapy or aromatherapy. It does, however, include all the standard safety features mentioned earlier.
The main therapeutic benefits of soaking in a hot bath (included below) can be very effective in treating common ailments of aging.
Adding extension panels (60"), which can be used as a shelf for toiletries, perfectly fits this model in any traditional bathtub space.

The Air Massage Model
The Seaspray 202 Hydrotherapy walk-in tub enjoys the safety benefits as seen earlier in the soaker model but with the added benefit of hydrotherapy air bubbles. This massage system (18 jets) works by sending tiny bubbles all over the body to cleanse the skin, reduce inflammation, and soothe the pain of arthritis.

The removable magnetic panels on the front side of the tub simplify maintenance whenever the underside of the tub needs cleaning or repair. A senior would only have to step over a 6" high entrance, stabilize him/herself with the built-in grab bars and sit on a 17" high safety seat to enjoy the relaxing effects of the bubble massage.
The Benefits of Air Massage:
- Little to no maintenance: The tubes the air jets use don't accumulate bacteria, relieving you from any manual cleaning.
- Skin rejuvenation: The tiny bubbles enter the open skin pores (caused by warm water) to clean them from any toxins and dead cells.
- Treatment of diseases and conditions such as stomach problems, sleep disorders, stress, and acne.
The Dual Hydrotherapy Model
The Seaspray 202 Dual System walk-in bathtub includes an air massage and a water massage system. This model comes with both systems of hydrotherapy, turning it into a dynamic machine with properties of relaxation and rejuvenation for the body and mind. This is why this is Tub King's most popular model.

The optional in-line heater protects you from getting cold by maintaining the water temperature for the full duration of the bath. What distinguishes the whirlpool system from the air massage is the whirlpool jets can be used to concentrate more pressure on one specific muscle group to accelerate healing and halt the swelling in that area. Whirlpool jets provide much more of a deep-tissue massage than air jets which are used for more soothing and gentle effects.
The list below shows the results you're most likely to see happen after a whirlpool massage and how it can promote a better quality of life.
The Benefits of Whirlpool Massage:
- Relieve muscle tension.
- Promotes tissue rejuvenation.
- Improves blood circulation.
- Helps in removing toxins and impurities.
- Increased supply of nutrients and oxygen to muscles.
- Increased metabolic rate.
- Improved range of motion.
