What is hydrotherapy? Hydrotherapy is the use of water to help decrease physical discomfort and joint pain. The jets in the tub is what allows hydrotherapy to work by moving in a greater range of motion and massaging your body. While you are enjoying the massage, your circulation is actually increasing. Increased circulation helps reduce the pain and rehabilitate those muscles that are sore.

After! A beautiful Walk In Tub is added to this Florida home!

A Florida homeowner contacted us about a walk in tub, but she had one big concern: her husband prefers to shower. Replacing her existing shower/ tub combo would be difficult if her husband couldn’t enjoy a nice hot shower anymore. Thankfully, Independent Home had the perfect solution for her.

Independent Home walk in tubs can easily act as showers with just a few minor adjustments. For this Florida homeowner we installed a white hydrotherapy tub with a left handed door. This tub comes with an extendable shower wand for easy bathing. Our technicians installed a riser rod on the wall for use with the shower wand. The wand can be placed on the riser rod, turning the tub into a stand up shower. Problem solved! Now our homeowner could enjoy her luxurious hydrotherapy bath while her husband still enjoyed a nice hot shower.

Our homeowners are now living independently and very happily in their Florida home. Not sure if a walk in tub is right for you? Let our representatives help! We can address all of your questions and concerns while helping you find your perfect tub at a price you can afford. Call 888–664–6920 today for more information from Independent Home in Florida!

Ocala Customer Receives Quality, Affordable Walk in Tub

Walk In Tub Florida — Fri, 15 Jan 2016 20:08:34 GMT

One of our main goals at Independent Home is to provide our customers with a quality and safe walk in tub. We also want to provide them with quality service as well as affordable prices. Our goals were completed with our customer Carol from Ocala, Florida.

Carol began her walk in tub research a few months ago. She was looking for a tub that was safe and simple to use. Carol had asked her daughter to help with the research. After getting a few estimates, Carol and her daughter decided that Independent Home was the best choice.

Carol and her daughter chose Independent Home because of our A+ rating on the Better Business Bureau as well as top ratings on Consumer Affairs. They also liked that our tubs are 20% more affordable yet still a high-quality product.

One major positive about Independent Home that Carol liked was our specialists were not pushy. They answered every question that Carol and her daughter had as well as told them about the benefits of having a walk in tub. Our experts and Carol decided that the celebrity walk in bathtub model would be the perfect fit.

The celebrity was the best fit for Carol because it had all of the features that she was looking for. It is simple and able to fit into the existing space of her old tub. It also has a non-slip floor, a 17” non-slip seat, and a low threshold for safe and simple entering and exiting.

Carol’s walk in tub installation only took one day to complete. That included taking out her old bathtub along with its foundation, bringing in the new tub, making sure each leg was level, connecting the plumbing, and checking for leaks.

Both Carol and her daughter couldn’t be happier with how the installation went. Carol is able to bathe safely and her daughter doesn’t have to worry about Carol having a slip and fall.

If you are looking for an affordable yet quality walk in bathtub that will provide you with safety contact Independent Home today.

Bathroom Before Walk In Tub Installation

When it comes to choosing the right walk in tub for you, the decision can be very difficult. Who can you trust? Who makes a quality and affordable tub? Who will install your tub for you? After receiving several bids from several different walk in tub companies, a Florida homeowner made their decision: Independent Home. When asked why they chose Independent Home, their answer was simple. “When looking into reviews, Independent Home was highly reviewed on ConsumerAffairs.com, and had an A+ rating with the BBB. They had also installed thousands of tubs before mine. With this information, Independent Home was the logical choice for us!”

Our Florida homeowner decided to purchase a white Deluxe Walk In Tub with a right hand door. This model comes with an acrylic finish for added durability, as well as standard hydrotherapy and chromotherapy features for a luxurious spa-like bath. Not only is this tub great for creating a spa quality experience, but the air and water jets included are great for soothing arthritis pain and muscle tension. This tub was the perfect fit for our homeowners.

Luckily, Independent Home walk in tubs come well equipped with 6 adjustable legs to ensure that all of their tubs are installed perfectly. This attention to detail is crucial to the success of a walk in tub installation, and our talented team of installers will take the time to look into every detail when they install your walk in tub.

The Walk in Tub Installation Process

Walk In Tub Florida — Mon, 23 Nov 2015 17:55:10 GMT

Tampa, Florida continues to be a popular location for walk in tubs as we just completed another tub installation for our customer Katherine N. Katherine had received several quotes from different companies. She chose Independent Home because of our high rating on Consumer Affairs and the Better Business Bureau along with affordable pricing. Here is Katherine’s installation process:

Pre-Installation Meeting

The installation process began with a pre-installation meeting with Katherine. The meeting consisted of deciding which walk in tub would work best for her, where the best location was, and deciding what type of finish she wanted.

Katherine decided to go with our celebrity walk in bathtub. She decided on the celebrity because it was the best fit for her bathroom, as it is able to fit into small spaces. She also liked the safety features that the tub offered. It has a non-slip floor, a 17” seat, a wide door opening, and a low threshold for simple entering and exiting.

Preparation

Before Katherine’s new walk in tub could be installed her old tub had to be taken out. Our installation experts disconnected the old tub’s fixtures along with the plumbing. Then came removing the foundation. Our experts then began working on preparing the new plumbing to finish the preparation period.

Installation

Katherine’s walk in tub installation was unique because our experts had to reverse the plumbing. The plumbing had to be reversed because the faucets and door were on the right side of the tub. If they stayed on the right side, Katherine would not have been able to access the tub due to the toilet blocking the tub door.

The installation was then completed by hooking up the plumbing and making sure that there weren’t any leaks.

Final Walk Through

The installation took just a couple of days to complete and then Katherine was able to enjoy her new walk in tub. Before our experts left they made sure that Katherine knew how to work the tub and answered any questions she had.

Katherine is extremely happy with her new walk in tub. Her daughter had actually called to thank our experts for the installation and product quality. She doesn’t have to worry about her mother facing an injury while bathing.

Independent Home is looking forward to installing more walk in tubs for our Florida residents. Contact us today.
