Atlantis Charleston 48 x 78 Whirlpool Tub vs Empava 67" Freestanding Whirlpool Bathtub

These are different tubs for different rooms. The Charleston is a large drop-in rectangular jetted tub built for a dedicated alcove or deck, with a 1HP pump and 8 adjustable jets; the Empava is a freestanding 67-inch acrylic tub that arrives with faucet, drain, handshower and headrests in the box. The Charleston's 25 ratings average 5 out of 5, while the Empava has no rating shown here, so the Charleston has more owner feedback to lean on. Pick the Empava if you want a freestanding tub that installs without building a surround; pick the Charleston if you have a big alcove and want a deeper, wider soak.

• Choose the Charleston if you have a large alcove or deck to build into and want a wide, deep jetted tub with a reversible drain and a 1HP pump.
• Choose the Empava if you want a freestanding acrylic tub that ships with the faucet, drain, handshower and headrests so you can skip a custom surround.
