· EXCLUSIVE! A Variable Speed, Relaxing and Therapeutic Full Hydrotherapy Air-Spa System with Twenty-Three Hydro-Ports, Each with Six Individual Air-Jets for an Unprecedented Total of One Hundred Thirty-Eight Air-Jets of Warm, Therapeutic Hydrotherapy to Surround and Massage Your Entire Body

Provides you with a deep, relaxing, therapeutic massage that is said to: increase your circulation; reduce your aches and pains; and relax your muscles and joints. This gives you greater range of motion and freedom of movement while providing you with the ultimate in a healthy and luxurious bathing experience. For safety each Hydro-Port has their own check-valve to prevent “used” water from backing up into clean water supply pipes. For convenience and relaxation all hydrotherapy controls are within easy reach while seated.

· EXCLUSIVE! Warm Foot and Leg Massager
Simply add your favorite foot solution to 4" or more of hot water. Then, sit down, turn it on, lean back and enjoy a soothing, blissful massage for your aching feet and legs. For tired feet, a cold footbath is recommended. While an alternating hot and cold footbath is said to promote circulation in the legs, help varicose veins, insomnia, headache and high blood pressure.

· EXCLUSIVE! Hydrotherapy Temperature Maintainer
There is an exclusive built-in warmer in the Presidential Air-Spa blower motor. Guarantees you’ll never have to worry about cold air blowing into a warm tub. This warm air helps maintain the temperature of the warm bath water providing you with a warmer and longer bathing experience.

Provides safety and convenience. This state-of-the-art brass and copper Temperature Control and Scald Prevention Unit provides you with an easy way to fill the tub with your personal pre-set desired water temperature every time you take a bath.

· Slip-resistant Floor
Helps assure your safety when entering or exiting the bathtub.

· Slip-resistant Contoured Comfort Seat
Helps assure a safer, more comfortable bathing experience.

· 17.5” Tall, Chair Height Seat
A high, wide, and deep comfortable built-in molded seat provides you with a more enjoyable, safe and relaxing bath. There’s also a sanitary channel drain system molded directly into the seat.

· EXCLUSIVE! Independently Controlled, Personal Hygiene “Bidet” Built Into the Seat!
Thorough personal hygienic cleansing is critical to your health and comfort. Now it’s easy to keep your “private areas” clean and healthy... it’s as easy as sitting in your new bathtub! Our exclusive “Bidet” has its own hydro-port that you can control independently of the others to achieve your personal hygienic preference.

· EXCLUSIVE! Extra Wide Door with a Convenient Knee Cutaway for Easy Opening & Closing
Amongst the widest in the industry, this exclusive door is a full 20 inches wide across the top on the Wide model, and a full 17.25 inches on the Standard model. This door is strategically shaped to serve three distinct purposes: It provides for extra room in the thigh and hip areas; It gives you the ability to conveniently walk straight into the bathtub without having to turn sideways; Most Importantly… It creates a CONVENIENT and SAFE way to open and close the door while sitting due to a specially designed "knee cutaway” allowing you to COMFORTABLY and SAFELY sit in place, (instead of having to awkwardly shift your legs or dangerously stand), when opening and closing the bathtub door.

· IMPORTANT! Threshold as Low as 5¾" for Safe and Easy Access
One small step for mankind… one incredible bathing experience thereafter.

· EXCLUSIVE! Designed for a Luxurious Deep Soak Bathing Experience
The Presidential model measures an unprecedented 18.25" from the top of the seat to the top of the bath... providing you with the ultimate in a deep soak bathing experience.

· Built-in Cushioned and Slip-resistant Safety Grab Bar
Conveniently located and built-in for safety and convenience, this reinforced aluminum, slip-resistant, cushioned grab bar makes it a breeze to get in and sit down, and also provides you with an easy, convenient and safe way to stand up again.

· EXCLUSIVE! Ergonomically Designed Cast Aluminum Locking Handle
This is the simplest, easiest, most convenient Walk-In Bathtub door to open and close regardless of your physical strength or condition. Beautifully designed, this industrial grade, cast aluminum, powder-coated leverage handle has no exposed moving parts.

· Right or Left Mounted Doors - Inward Opening for Safety
Provides you with the flexibility to have things the way you want it: the door on either side; the seat on either side; and the faucets and showerhead on either side as well.

· Luxurious ADA Compliant Roman Faucets and Matching Retractable/Hand-held/Wall-mount Showerhead (Note: recent fixture upgrades may vary from photos)
A matching versatile hand-held showerhead and hose retracts into the deck of the bathtub for elegance and easy accessibility. It’s an easy and convenient way to rinse yourself off at the end of your bath. This hand-held showerhead can also be placed on the provided slide-bar allowing you to take either a “stand-up” or “sit-down” shower. All major plumbing components are supplied with the Presidential making it engineered for a faster, simpler installation. Both the faucets and the showerhead come in a standard chrome finish, and are available in an optional gold-tone finish, or an optional antique brass-tone finish. And… they’re ADA compliant!

· Convenient Towel Bar on the Door
This non-rusting, clear acrylic towel bar is always within your reach… and you can use your favorite accent color towel to bring out the beauty of this luxurious bathtub in your bathroom.

· IMPORTANT! Easy-to-Use, Safety Speed-Drain System with an Extra Large 2” Diameter
Mechanical drains used by other manufacturers slow down the draining process while you just sit there and wait. Even worse, the mechanisms in these lever types of drains can fail… and the fact is, at times, they do! This has repeatedly left people stuck in Walk-In Bathtubs from other manufacturers that use mechanical drains. What a predicament that can be! Independent Living USA will never use this type of potentially disastrous safety hazard in any of our tall, premium Walk-In Bathtubs. The Solution… An easy to use stainless steel, extra large 2” diameter safety speed-drain. It’s simple, fast and safe!

· Easy to Maintain: Automated Self-Purging/Self-Cleaning System
A fully automated system purges the excess moisture from the lines and is timed to come on about 20 minutes after bathing. This not only helps to prevent any build-up of bacteria, mold and mildew, it also blows warm air that assists in drying any residue moisture on the tub.

· EXCLUSIVE! “Memory” Door Seal with a Lifetime Manufacturer’s Warranty on the Door and the Seal
This exceptional door and "memory" door seal provide you with a worry-free manufacturer’s warranty against the door ever leaking. Unlike most other walk-in tub door seals, the Presidential’s exclusive “memory” door seal bounces back to its original state every time the door is re-opened. This assures a safer, more secure, leak-proof seal… and this seal, as well as the door, come with a Manufacturer’s Lifetime Warranty!

· Available in Your Choice of Two Standard Colors: White or Biscuit
"White" is certainly the most popular color as it "goes with everything". You can also accent it with any color towel on its door to blend into the color scheme of your bathroom. For those who prefer it, "Biscuit" is also available as a standard color.

· IMPORTANT! 20-Year Manufacturer's Warranty on the Bathtub Shell and Frame – Amongst the Longest in the Industry!
This superior quality bathtub is made to last; assuring you years of enjoyment.

· EXCLUSIVE! 1” Thick Extruded Aluminum Frame
Combines state-of-the-art, space-age strength, and lightweight maneuverability, for a lifetime of rustproof stability.

· IMPORTANT! SIX Support Leveling Legs
Unlike other tubs with only four support leveling legs covering only their four corners, the Presidential has a total of SIX heavy duty support leveling legs covering all SIX strategic support and leveling points that helps assure an absolutely level and leak-free bathtub.

· IMPORTANT! Removable Front Panel and Side Panel for Easy Access to All Plumbing and Components
We’ve made it simple and easy to access all parts should there ever be a need to get to the inner workings. There is no need to remove and reinstall the tub, no need to build an access panel into the adjoining room, and no need to fidget with awkward, inadequate small access openings fumbling to find your way if repairs are ever needed. Simply snap off the entire front panel and easily snap back into place.

ALL OF THE FEATURES LISTED ABOVE ARE INCLUDED WITH EVERY PRESIDENTIAL “AIR-SPA” MODEL!

Available Options:

· Tile Flange
Although it is not necessary to use a tile flange with the Presidential models, it is available for those with new construction who desire it. Available in your choice of White or Biscuit.

· Optional L-Shaped Curtain Rod and Shower Curtain
If you would like to use the Presidential as a stand-up shower, we have an optional white curtain and L-shaped curtain rod available.

· Optional Matching White or Biscuit Decorative Extension Spacer
Should you have the desire to use a matching material to fill-in the remaining length of the old bathtub space, we have an elegant optional matching extension spacer available.

· Optional Bath Pillow in White
A relaxing comfortable touch for your bathing experience. Available in Your Choice of Style: "Weighted" or with "Suction Cups". These white bath pillows are waterproof.
