Fastest Way to Intall a Bathtub

I had no idea that  inflatable bathtubs existed until recently. When I saw this inflatable bathtub from Quick Solve, I immediately thought of my sister. When she began her cancer treatments last year for leukemia, there were several times when she desired to take a bath, but couldn't because she does not have a tub at her home. She only has a shower. Since she cannot be around places that have a lot of bacteria and mold, the hot tub at the public pool facility is out of the question. This tub solves a lot of problems as her germs will be the only ones in the water and she doesn't have to remodel her bathroom.

  Inflatable Tub Specs

• Weight: 6.2 pounds
• Dimensions: 60 inches long, 33 inches high, 18 inches deep
• Extras: Beverage holder, inflatable pillow and hole repair kit

The plastic material from which the tub is made is similar to the material found on inflatable mattress. It seems pretty sturdy. I am 6 feet talk and fit comfortably inside the tub.

 

The tub comes with a cover that's simple to zip and un-zip. I recommend that you keep it zipped to retain the heat in warm water. 

If you use the tub outside, I recommend placing a tarp under the tub so rocks and other debris don't pierce it.

 

The water drains from the foot of the tub.

Holes are simple to repair with this patch kith. 

 

The tub does not come with a air pump, so either have to blow in the air (which I don't recommend) or use a electric or manual pump.

 

I used the pump for my inflatable camping mattress

Inflating the tub with my pump

I like that the tub has smaller and larger holes from which you can inflate it. I took the caps off the larger holes to quickly release the air inside the tub's panels.

Short drain hose

The tub comes with a short drain hose. If you are using the tub inside your home, I recommend using a longer drain hose and duct tape (to secure to the drain hole on the outside of the tub). The drain hose that comes included is good for diverting water away from the tub if you're using it outside. If you're inside, however, this tub will not fit in most bathrooms, so you'll need a hose that's long enough to reach a sink or shower drain.

Other accessories that I recommend using are a garden hose and a faucet adapter if you plan to use the tub inside your home. These will allow you to hook the hose up to the faucet in your sink, so you can fill up the tub without carrying buckets of water.
