Safe, Accessible Luxury for Independent Living
The Empava EMPV-54WIT08 is a premium 54-inch walk-in bathtub designed to provide a safe, spa-like experience for seniors or those with limited mobility. Engineered for a seamless alcove installation, this tub combines a low-entry threshold with advanced hydrotherapy to promote relaxation and safety in the master bath.
Consistent Warmth with Integrated Inline Heater

Frequently Asked Questions (Technical)
How long does it take for this tub to drain? The EMPV-54WIT08 is equipped with a high-speed drain system. However, the exact time depends on your home's plumbing. The integrated inline heater ensures you stay warm if you choose to remain in the tub during the drainage process.
What are the electrical requirements? This tub requires a dedicated 120V 20AMP GFCI-protected circuit to safely power the whirlpool pump and the inline heating element simultaneously.
