How does the 72x42SW differ from the 60x42 SW?

It is the same 42-inch width and jet layout, but 12 inches longer, so the bathing well is bigger and gives more legroom. The 60x42 SW fits tighter bathrooms; this one needs a longer opening.

Can the jets be adjusted?

Yes. All 9 jets adjust for both pressure and direction, so you can soften the back jets and aim the foot jets where you want them.

The 2-speed 7.5 AMP pump sits on cushioned mounts to reduce vibration and sound. It has a lower speed for gentler, quieter massage.

What installation does it need?

It installs as a drop-in or in an alcove. Plan framing and an access panel for the pump, and check that the floor supports a filled tub of this size.

What is the tub made of?

Lucite acrylic with a high-gloss, scratch-resistant finish. Acrylic holds water temperature better than enameled steel and is lighter to move during installation.

Does it include a faucet or heater?

No faucet, drain or water heater is listed with the tub. Budget for a deck-mount or wall-mount filler and a drain, and expect the water to cool on long soaks without a heater.
