What about the weight of the water if using a second floor bath tub?

Typically building codes require the floor be designed to hold the weight of a full tub. If you have taken a bath in the tub you have filled it up.. same thing as having this filled in the tub.

Just because a floor is designed to hold a full bathtub for a bath (which lasts a few hours in worst case scenario) doesn't mean it can continue to hold it for days on end. There is wood fatigue, etc. so I would be cautious about leaving the water there for more than a few hours. Good question though...

I don't think it would be any different than filling up the tub without the Reservoir lining. Should weigh the same. Hope that helped answer your question.

Hmmm, I would say that it would weigh the same as the water in the tub without the reservoir (the reservoir is just a thin plastic bag).

your weight and weight of the machine should not be an issue of using it on the second floor of the house,unless you have some structural issues with the flooring there.As one other response recommended, I would put some heavy padding under the machine in the event you should drop the weights so as to dampen the noise and impact on the floor. I've been using this machine off and on for almost 4 yrs with no problems on the first floor of my house.

Based on past experience I would go up one size larger to have enough water for a bath. Showers no problem.

About 5 pounds empty. Waterline is at 2 3/4'', depth of tub is about 4 3/4'', 11 1/2'' width, 13'' length, you can do the math for filled with water but it's easy enough to lift when full and pour into the garden.50 minutes later: 1 gallon + 3 cups of water (little by little); minimal splash while activated. Feet out, I'm at the waterline and 2" below the edge so there is ample slosh-room when transporting the unit to the garden. My estimated....add about 10 pounds for water-weight.

No but it's good enough to do 2 tubs. Also the magic is done by the foam roller patterns. Those patterns are the grip. I try light because I want to use my tub for both standing shower and bath but still it s really good

Sorry - I don't have the option to measure for you however if it helps, I use it in both the step in shower and the master bath tub and works perfectly. Step in shower a little easier. The person using it weights approx. 148lbs and you can push it with ease when occupied. Hope I helped a little. g

Absolutely. In fact, that's the exact reason why we purchased the item. The difference between the floor and the bottom of the tub actually required us to buy two of the steps.

The unit should be more than enough for a two bath system. Electric consumption will depend on how long each personis in the shower. What you won't pay for is heating the water tank when no one is using water. Hope this helps.

OH, and my 500 gallon 8 person hot tub is in a heated and airconditioned building. So I took off the 150 pound cover and trashed it. I went to Menard's and bought 2ea 4 foot by 8 foot sheets of insulation styrofoam insulation 2 inches thick. I think they weigh around 8 pounds each.

Well, you'll need to know how many gallons of water your tub holds. For the initial cleaning, you use 8 ounces per 100 gallons of water. Thereafter, you use 2 ounces per 100 gallons.

Ours is installed with a two sink laundry tub and the sewer pipe is 6 foot high so 2 feet will be no problem.

I use this product faithfully...For the basement you want to use the 4lb tub...I find they work best at a high level...They last for quite a while... you will soon see the water collect...I ALWAYS have one in basement and use he "hangers" as well...Works great for me...Good Luck!

Just make sure you have a standard height tub..... Around 14 inches or so....That's all you need .... Two legs sit inside the tub and two outside... It's a great product...Just remember to lube the rails around every 6 uses or so with WD-40...

This step is just a liteweight hard plastic thats hollow underneath. If you need it in the tub it will probably float up,but ouside of bath it works really well.

Hi Tom, The tub weighs 200 lbs. Fully crated it weighs roughly 360 lbs. We had to put the weight in that way so that it brought the shipping price up to the price it costs to ship it. If you have any other questions please let us know. Thank you!

It's a seat that sits on sides of tub. So tub has to be even. Weight is 250 lbs. very sturdy

Addendum to my first response earlier: You know, that little plastic basin theoretically shouldn't even hold MY weight. I believe, though, that it is actually the toilet that holds the weight since the rim of the Sitz bath fits over the rim of the toilet. The user's legs do press on the front part of the basin, but most of the other weight should be distributed and supported by the toilet. If I were you, I would consult with the manufacturer on the weight limit. Other than that, since the bath costs only $10.19, if you can afford that big an investment risk, I'd say, "Go for it!"
