Frequently Asked Questions


1) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems employ a gravitation simply drainage system, while other makers offer power-assisted drainage systems. Ordinarily, the drainage system in a walk in bathtub is attached to the standard tub drain, which is threaded into a flat conduit called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed using putty or a foam washer under its flange. Since a bather cannot leave the tub until all the water is drained, the huge difference is that manufacturers have attempted to decrease the waiting time since sitting there waiting for the water to drain can leave a bather feeling cooled. Some attributes may cost you more, therefore it's almost always wise to ask. Eventually, get to know the difference between frameless tubs since because they don't change the drain height of your existing tub frameless baths often drain faster than framed baths and framed baths. Framed baths are built on a steel frame and also the bottom of the bathtub is hung off the ground. Frameless baths are designed with an extra-strength mold that does not require a steel framework and the underside of the tub is not hung in the air.

2) About how much will one of these tubs cost to get installed?

The installation can cost you approximately $1,500-$3,000 to be installed in Hilo. Sometimes the cost of the installment along with the unit is a better investment than paying for a caretaker.

3) Can the shower be used still with a walk-in bathtub?

Yes. There are walkin tub installations that give you a big standing area for stand up showers. You can shower standing up or sitting down. Make sure you get the proper dimensions for the walk-in bath so you don't feel cramped during a stand up shower. Additionally, if you wish to maintain your standing shower, since if your faucet is not directly against a wall, it's a lot harder to tap into your existing shower, another thing to keep in mind would be to ask about the faucet location.

4) Can I choose the color / style to match my interior decoration?

Yes. Check with the producers about Hawaii choices. Some offer colors that are uniform with the majority of toilets. Choosing the right walk-in bathtub for you means discussing the selection of sizes, fashions and layouts to ensure it satisfies your own special needs and room requirements. You may have to pay an additional fee for a custom color since most producers make tubs in cream and white.

5) Can I make one of these myself?

Yes, but most people don't start from scratch, they begin with a tub conversion kit. There are instructions available on how to convert your existing bathtub into a walk in tub. We advise that you just know how to make use of the tools that are correct so that you do not end up with a non-working bathtub. There are companies that understand just how to turn your tub more disability and your home reachable for less of an investment than alternatives. As Hawaii installers, we know just how to direct you in the proper course, so please ask us for a consultation so we can assist you in making your home meet your present wants, especially if you've recently become disabled or are providing an elderly man care-giving in their home or your house.

6) Do Walk-In Bathtubs Leak?

Yes, they can leak. Another common complaint from people who bought a poor quality bath and attempted to save money stems from door flows. Be sure that the walk-in bath is inflexible and strong to prevent any flex that inhibits a water-tight door. Additionally any damage that may have happened during hauling can loosen fittings and mishandling and cause leakage. Before using the walk-in tub, it is significant that the installer analyze the bathtub properly according to the instruction manual. The water may have problem emptying correctly and could create the door to leak, if the tub isn't installed level with the supporting features supplied. Finally, make sure you understand the risks related to the placement of your walk-in tub, particularly alcoves, since they have specific conditions to avert leaking.

7) Do these tubs drain normally?

Yes. Occasionally, however, it's important to change the pipes depending on the place of the drains. Installers may have to add a fitting to the existing wastewater conduit for a walk-in tub. Existing pipes may allow for slower drain times or quicker drain times.

8) What types of financing are available in Hawaii if insurance doesn't cover home modifications?

The American Elder Care Research Organization lists several other financial assistance paths to take into account when searching for help to buy your walk in bath. (1) The US Department of Agriculture helps low income and elderly residents of rural areas make house modifications to enable aging set up. The USA Rural Development plan is also referred to as the Section 504 plan, the Very Low-Income Housing Repair program along with the RD 504 Loan Program. The adjustments may include a walk-in tub. There are geographic and age, income requirements to participate. To find out more about the maximum numbers available, other limits and how to apply, visit http://eligibility.sc.egov.usda.gov/eligibility/welcomeAction.do and click on your state after you click on the 'Contact Us' link. Following that, you can click on your own county as well as a listing of service centers including phone numbers will pop up. (2) For a non-Medicaid state financial assistance program for the elderly, you can check this list to see if there are any that contain home modifications. https://www.payingforseniorcare.com/home-modifications/state-assistance-programs.html (3) Rebuilding Together, a national nonprofit that can possibly offset the setup prices of a walk in bath, can be a great resource. Contact them at http://www.togetherwetransform.org/find-your-local-affiliate (4)There are other alternatives to consider. The Internal Revenue Service may determine that your house alteration qualifies for tax deductions as a dental and medical expense. There are also qualifications to be able to claim an individual who requires attention as a dependent. Phone the Internal Revenue Service to see in the event you can deduct the cost of installing your walk in bath. IRS Publication 502 is an excellent resource that will help you estimate whether modifying your toilet qualifies you to deduct it as a medical expense. You can also phone them at (800) 829-1040. (5) The National Resource Center on Supportive Housing and Home Modification may also help you locate help to cover home modifications. Just click here to learn more about this option http://resnaprojects.org/allcontacts/statewidecontacts.html.

9) How much is it for a cheaper walk-in bathtub?

A more affordable fundamental variant of the walk in tub can cost between $1,7000 and $3,000 in [

10) Will the cost of installation and equipment be covered by my disability in Hawaii?

In case your impairment was a result of a work or car accident, check with the right insurance insurance company to determine if house adjustments resulting from your HI disability are insured. Claims that comprise Hilo house adjustments are not inadmissible in insurance settlements. Someone qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they've worked in a job that was covered by Social Security and have a medical condition that meets their definition of disability. Benefits might be insured, in case you're injured or on disability. Since SSI is a needs-based program and an SSI recipient must have limited income and resources, qualifications for the Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) allows a person with a disability to attain an occupational goal. The cash that's set aside under a PASS could be used for anything that results in an occupational objective and may be used to cover home alterations through an SSI savings plan. If you're a veteran, the Department of Veterans' Affairs does offer individual programs that could allow you to deflect some of the cost. You may also ask in the event you meet the requirements for the which is modeled after Medicaid's Consumer Directed HCBS, or the VA Aid and Attendance, Housebound and other Pensions. Contact the VA and ask for VA form 26-4555 to submit an application for SHA or SAH grant. For information on all VA benefits in Hawaii call 1-800-827-1000.

11) Will AETNA cover the cost of equipment and installation in Hawaii?

Aetna will not insure walkin tubs under their plans that are traditional in Hawaii. Aetna doesn't insure walk-in baths under their HMO and health network plans either. They normally follow Medicare's standards for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the bathroom. In the event the member is bed- room or confined - some DMEs are considered necessary, instead of a convenience. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it is vital for daily tasks and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing considered vital and is considered a daily living activity, Aetna lists toilet items which are considered necessary if a member is not able to bathe or shower without being seated or unable to transfer to and from a tub.

12) Is there any additional structural support needed before installation?

Many walk in tubs are mounted to a stainless steel welded support framework with leveling feet that's included with your bought tub. The floor in the toilet has to have a structural support strength that transcends the weight of the tub plus the weight of the water. Our Hilo installer will check to determine whether the floor is level and otherwise if it's not, then they'll make use of the leveling legs to adjust the level of the tub. Of course, the prior tub will have to be removed. Also, the if replacing the wall or tile in the area will need to be removed.
