AcquaVapore S08D-WP-A-R: senior shower bath with a door, whirlpool and acrylic shower attachment
With the AcquaVapore S08D-WP-A-R, Seniorbad.de offers a solution for people who want to bathe and shower comfortably and safely without giving up their independence. The sitting bathtub with a side door combines three ways of use in a single model: sitting in warm water, a water massage from 8 built-in jets and showering via the acrylic shower attachment supplied. For older people and people with limited mobility, this means a clear relief in everyday life, because they enter the bathtub through the side door without having to climb over a high tub rim.
The model is particularly suitable as an investment in an age-appropriate owner-occupied flat, where long-term comfort of use is the priority. It is equally the right choice for flats with no room for a separate tub-and-step solution, as the S08D-WP-A-R combines tub and shower in one compact housing. With external dimensions of 110 x 68 x 205 cm, it can also be installed in smaller bathrooms, provided that positioning variant A for the left corner fits.
How the S08D-WP-A-R combines massage with safe entry
The side door of the sitting tub opens wide and provides an entry width of 49 cm, which allows generous access and also makes transferring from a wheelchair easier. The door is hinged on the right, and it is fitted with a triple locking mechanism and an additional safety catch that keeps the door reliably closed during bathing. A door drainage system ensures that no water runs onto the floor after opening. The low door threshold makes getting in safer, without having to climb over the tub rim.
Inside the sitting tub you will find an ergonomically shaped seating area with a seat height of about 38 cm and a seat surface of around 40 x 50 cm, which comfortably accommodates one person. The immersion depth is 66 cm, measured up to the overflow, so that when seated the water reaches up to the stomach or chest. The water massage is provided by 8 jets, 2 of them in the wall area and 6 as back massage jets, supplied with pressure by a 750 W pump. The foot massage function is designed as a separate type of jet and complements the whirlpool water system. A neck rest supports the head and neck area while you relax. The tub body is made from fibreglass-reinforced acrylic, carried by a height-adjustable stainless steel frame for a secure stand. Via the acrylic shower attachment supplied, the tub can additionally be used as a shower bath combination, without needing a second fixture in the bathroom.

For installation, the usual sanitary connections are required: hot and cold water at 1/2 inch as well as an HT 40 waste water connection. A prior inspection of the installation site is advisable. As the model is equipped with an electric whirlpool system, an earthed 230 V power connection is additionally needed near the tub. With a passage width of 70 cm, the tub fits through any common standard door and can be brought into the bathroom without being dismantled. Positioning variant A requires that the tub is set up in the left corner of the bathroom and that access from the right side is clear. For professional installation, we recommend a qualified plumbing company that can sign off on both the water and the electrical connection.
Before delivery, every tub goes through a function test with a water fill. Watertightness and taps are checked before the model is packed for dispatch. Delivery is by carrier with kerbside delivery, and the driver will call in advance to arrange the delivery date. The model is delivered as a two-part set; the tub body and shower attachment are separated for transport but are delivered together on one pallet. If you have any questions about positioning or installation, the Seniorbad.de team is happy to advise you.
