Empava 67" Freestanding Whirlpool Bathtub vs Proflo Hillsboro 60" Alcove Whirlpool Tub

Buy the Empava if you want a freestanding centerpiece tub that arrives with the faucet, handshower, drain and overflow in the box. Buy the Proflo if you are replacing an existing alcove tub and want a drop-in fit with a slip-resistant floor. The Empava is larger, double-ended and better insulated, with a stainless-steel frame rated to 440 lbs. The Proflo is shorter and taller-backed, needs a separate drain assembly, and carries a 5-year limited warranty.

  • Choose the Empava if your bathroom has open floor space for a freestanding tub and you want the filler and drain included.
  • Choose the Proflo if you are fitting the tub into a three-wall alcove and want a textured, slip-resistant floor.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a small bathroom?
The Proflo. At 60 in long it fits a standard alcove and does not need clearance around it. The Empava is nearly 67 in long and freestanding, so it needs open floor on all sides.
Which gives a deeper soak?
The Proflo lists a 13 in water depth and 52-gallon capacity. The Empava does not publish a water depth, but its 23.62 in height and double-walled shell suggest a comparable fill with better heat retention.
Do I need to buy extras with either?
The Empava includes the faucet, handshower, drain and overflow. The Proflo needs a drain assembly bought separately, and you supply the faucet.
Which is safer for kids or older bathers?
The Proflo, because of its textured slip-resistant floor. The Empava has a smooth acrylic floor, so a mat helps.
Is the Empava worth stepping up to?
If you want a freestanding tub with the fittings included and a stronger frame, yes. If you are replacing an alcove tub, the Proflo is the simpler fit.
How many jets does each have?
Both have 8 jets. The difference is layout and tub shape, not jet count.
