Does it fit a standard alcove?

It is designed for alcove installation at 53 inches long, 27 inches wide and 38 inches high. Measure your opening and door swing before ordering.

Is the faucet included?

No. The faucet set is sold separately, so budget for a deck-mount or wall-mount set that fits the tub deck.

How does the friction heater work?

It recirculates and warms the bath water using the pump's heat rather than a separate power draw. It maintains temperature but is not a full water heater.

Can I use bath salts and oils?

Yes. The tub is rated safe for bathing salts and aromatic oils.

How many jets does it have?

Six directional, adjustable water jets powered by a 1HP pump, controlled by a pneumatic button.

What is the seat height?

The molded ADA-style seat sits at 17 inches, with a 6-inch threshold for entry.
