Key Highlights
Hydrotherapy On Demand
This tub features 9 powerful water jets that target key muscle groups along your back, hips, and feet—making it perfect for relieving soreness after a long day. The built-in water pump delivers consistent pressure, while the LED lighting adds a soothing ambiance that enhances your overall relaxation. It also features air-bubble nozzles on the floor of the basin.
Drop-In Design with Alcove Versatility
Designed for alcove or drop-in installation, the EMPV-67JT351LED is great for homeowners who want a tub that fits seamlessly into a recessed space. The rectangular shape and flat apron front give it a clean, modern look, while the left-side drain placement ensures compatibility with common bathroom layouts.
Simple Installation & Maintenance
Unlike freestanding tubs, a drop-in or alcove-style like this is ideal for tighter spaces. It includes pre-drilled overflow and drain holes, plus a hand shower and tub filler, cutting down on the need to source additional fixtures. The glossy acrylic surface is reinforced with fiberglass, making it easy to clean and resistant to fading, cracking, and stains.
