AcquaVapore S08D-WP-TH-A-R: senior shower bath with whirlpool, thermostatic mixer and acrylic shower attachment
AcquaVapore S08D-WP-TH-A-R is a combination of a sitting bathtub with a side entry, an integrated water massage system and an acrylic shower attachment. This gives you three uses in a single unit: a relaxing sitting bath, a targeted water massage from 8 jets and a full shower. Installation variant A positions the tub in the left corner of your bathroom, with the door hinged on the right. Outer dimensions of 110 cm in length, 68 cm in width and 205 cm in height make the model suitable for many existing bathrooms.
For people who want to safely take up bathing again after a hip operation or knee operation, the large side entry offers a reliable way to step into the tub without effort. As mobility declines with age, the door system makes daily entry considerably easier: you step in through the open door, sit down on the tub seat, close the door and only then fill the water. This sequence reduces the risk of slipping on a wet tub floor or straining yourself when climbing over the side.
Massage, door and interior
The side tub door made of fibreglass-reinforced acrylic opens with the door hinged on the right and provides an entry width of 49 cm. The door has a safety catch as well as a triple locking mechanism that ensures a tight seal of the wall area. An integrated door drainage system makes sure that no residual water escapes when you open it after bathing. The additional locking mechanism also seals the door reliably at a higher water level.
The interior is designed as a seated tub: you sit upright, and when seated the water reaches up to your stomach or chest depending on your height. The immersion depth is 66 cm, the internal seat height is around 38 cm, and the seat measures roughly 40 cm x 50 cm. This lets you specifically relax your back and stomach area with every bath. The whirlpool water massage system with 8 jets, of which 2 are in the wall area and 6 are fixed back jets, creates a water circulation that gently stimulates muscles and joints. A 750 W pump supplies the jets with sufficient pressure. A neck rest provides a comfortable head position during the bath. The tub body is made of fibreglass-reinforced acrylic and rests on a height-adjustable stainless steel frame that compensates for small unevenness in the floor. The integrated thermostatic mixer made of brass with a polished chrome finish keeps the water temperature stable and has a diverter between tub and shower. Using the acrylic shower attachment, you can also use the seated tub as a full shower when a seated bath is not wanted. You will find more models that combine a sitting bathtub with a shower function in our selection of shower bath combinations. The water required is between 70 and 100 litres, which keeps running costs low.

Before ordering, it is worth taking a quick look at the connections and the installation location. You need a hot and cold water connection as well as a waste water connection with a 40 mm diameter. As this model has a whirlpool system, a 230 V power connection near the installation location is also required. The tub fits through a standard door from 70 centimetres wide in one piece, so transport into existing bathrooms is possible without dismantling in most cases. Installation variant A and the door hinged on the right determine the exact installation position, so check the room geometry and the location of the connections in advance.
Before dispatch, every model is unpacked, inspected visually and filled with water on a test rig. Only after it has passed the leak test do we repack the tub for transport. This way we make sure that you receive a functional and watertight model. For delivery by carrier, we ask for a telephone number where you can be reached during the day so the delivery can be announced. Delivery is kerbside delivery.
