AcquaVapore S08-A-R: sitting bathtub with door for safe bathing in your own home
For people with reduced mobility, the AcquaVapore S08-A-R is an extra-deep sitting bathtub with a side entry that makes a genuine full bath possible while seated in your own home. With an immersion depth of 66 cm, the water reaches up to your stomach when you are seated, and up to your chest depending on your height, so you can enjoy a soothing warm bath at full depth. The tub measures 110 x 68 x 114 cm (L x W x H) on the outside and holds around 100 litres of water. The built-in neck support keeps your head in a comfortable position during the bath.
The sitting bathtub with a side entry is just right when getting out of the tub after bathing has become an obstacle, because you sit down first, then close the door, and only fill the tub afterwards. This makes the whole process considerably easier and provides valuable support in relieving caring relatives, who are placed under heavy physical strain when a conventional bathtub is used. Placement variant A positions the tub in the left-hand corner, with the door hinged on the right, so the door opens towards the centre of the room and clears the entry area. In our selection of senior bathtubs you will find further low-threshold models for different room sizes and equipment preferences.
How the entry, seat, and water flow work together
The side bath door opens wide with a clear entry width of 49 cm and gives you generous access that also allows transferring from a wheelchair. As soon as you are seated and close the door, a triple locking mechanism engages together with an additional safety latch and seals the door reliably before you fill the tub. A built-in door drainage system ensures that no residual water drips onto the floor when you open the door after the bath. The combination of a wide entry, sturdy locking, and a low step-in height makes getting in safer than with a standard tub without a door.
The seating area is designed for sitting upright in the water: the internal seat height is about 38 cm, and the seat surface is around 40 x 50 cm (width x depth). The tub body is made of fibreglass-reinforced acrylic and rests on a height-adjustable stainless steel frame that compensates for minor unevenness in the floor. The immersion depth of 66 cm is the central quality feature of this extra-deep design: the water surrounds your stomach and torso and so provides a warming effect like the one you know from a classic bathtub. The waste outlet sits off-centre and ensures complete draining. The factory-fitted single-lever mixer made of brass with a polished chrome finish lets you adjust the temperature comfortably without changing your sitting position.

Before ordering, it is worth taking a quick look at the connections and the installation site. You will need a hot and cold water connection as well as a waste water connection with a 40 mm diameter. The external width of 70 centimetres allows the tub to pass through a standard door, so it reaches its installation site in one piece. If you have questions about the placement variant or about planning your room, our staff at Seniorbad.de will be glad to advise you.
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. The scope of delivery includes the bathtub, the stainless steel frame, and the fitted mixer tap, so that once it is installed and the water pipes are connected you can get started straight away. Dispatch is by kerbside delivery via a carrier. Please keep a reachable telephone number ready for the delivery notification, so the delivery day can be arranged together.
