3 Walk-in and sit-down baths are designed for people who are finding it difficult to safely use a normal bath. They are commonly used as a combined shower base and bath, quite often located in existing shower areas. These baths are a world-wide item and have been available in the UK for over 30 years. They are a relatively new item in Australia where they have been available only in the last 10 years. These baths have a door which allows the user to get into and out of a bath easily and safely. The user gets into the bath, closes the door and fills up the bath. These baths are fitted with specially made fast-fill taps to fill the bath quickly. The hydrotherapy spa system can be used to heat the bath surface inside the bath before the user gets in. Once in the bath the user is safe from falls. Even in the event of dizziness caused by a steamy atmosphere the user is safe from falling. With the optional hydrotherapy air-spa system included, the user has an in-house, true hydrotherapy spa system to alleviate pains from arthritic and similar conditions. This system purges itself between uses to minimise the chance of cross, or reinfection. The doors do not leak, as when closing the door mechanism, the door pushes up against the door seal. The seals do not perish as they are made of medical grade silicon" rubber". There is an overflow outlet near the top of the bath to prevent accidental over-filling and to allow topping up of the hot water without over-filling. Page 2

4 Nearly all of the baths we provide have the Canadian hydrotherapy spa system fitted. The system is a true hydrotherapy system, not a pool spa. All the components in the system are from C G Air in Canada, and fitted in Australia. Australian fitting allows us to place the hydrotherapy jets in the bath to fit your individual needs. People using this system have described it as a miracle, relieving the pains of rheumatism, arthritis and circulatory problems associated with limited mobility. Being an air hydro system, means it can be turned on before you hop in the bath, and the 300 watt in-line heater will have the bath environment warm before you get into the bath, and while it is filling. You can use aromatic oils, Radox or any other pain reliever without harming the system The image below shows the air jets, you will notice the air comes out of 6 holes around the RIM of the jets. This means the system can deliver very high pressure pulses of air, without drilling holes through you. The control pad in the bath, allows you to control the pressure and the pulse rate to fit your individual needs. THE HYDROTHERAPY JETS CONTROL PAD THE HEART OF THE SYSTEM Page 3

5 The air massage relaxes your muscles while stimulating the production of natural analgesic hormone known as endorphins. The use of an air massage system produces an effect of well-being throughout your whole body. The variable speed makes it completely adaptable to the users needs, whether soft and caressing or more vigorous. Making this even more interesting is the wave effect where the speed alternates between strong and soft to create a very efficient lymphatic massage. Twenty minutes after you leave your WINDSOR bath, the system automatically purges itself to prevent passing any bacteria [e.g. from a skin infection, tinea etc.] back to yourself or another user. The air distributors, as well as the security mechanisms are critical and essential components in all massage systems. The safety mechanisms in your massage system are elements that cannot be ignored. They ensure that the water will not come into contact with electricity. This innovative high quality ceramic air heater was created with a unique design that optimizes the heat exchange through the small openings for a better heat distribution through your system. The air heater temperature is always calibrated with the selected speed of the blower. When the blower is at 80% of its speed, the heating will function proportionally for the best effect. The blower muffler combined with a special sound damping foam significantly reduces the sound of the motor. This specially designed muffler is integrated within the blower to reduce the overall size of the casing. The muffler has a new design deflector for better air intake. The motor has rubber pads where it contacts the steel frame to reduce vibration and sound. From a low power relaxing massage, to a much invigorating massage created through a high power air flow, the integrated control is completely variable so that the user can choose exactly what is needed. The hydrotherapy system is a must if you wish to get the best out of your new bath. Page 4

6 Most of our baths go into existing showers, where they are used as a combination bath and shower base. If there is an existing drain under the new bath, the drainage kit that comes with the bath includes a flexible HEPLEX pipe that goes straight into the existing floor drain hole. A plumber taps into the hot and cold pipes in the wall behind where the new bath is going, and installs 2 stop-cocks [like the small taps where the water goes into your toilet]. He then runs 2 flexi-hoses [not supplied by us] from the stop cocks to the underside of the fast-fill taps that come with your bath. With the hydrotherapy spa option, the only additional installation item is a water-proof power point that goes onto the wall behind the new bath. A normal 3 pin plug from the bath goes into the water proof power point. The installation is straight forward and can be done by any plumber. If you prefer, we can organise installation on your behalf, let us know if this is your preference. Walk-in baths do not need framing, cladding and tiling like a normal bath, making installation simpler. Windsor Baths come complete with a worlds-best fast-fill tap set from the UK and a full drainage kit which will reduce your plumbing cost. Installation can be done in such a way, that if the bath is removed in the future, the space can be easily and cheaply be made a normal shower. Page 5

7 The Windsor 'Access' is the most versatile of our models. This slide-in bathtub has a spacious interior and is perfect for those needing wheelchair access or those looking ahead to future needs. This model is all about easy entry access; the user opens the outward opening door, sits down and slides their legs in. The panel underneath the door is removable to allow use of a lifter, such as the Arjo MaxiLift. Windsor Baths Australia Fax Tall Poppy Technology PL T/A Windsor Baths ACN Established 2000 Page 6

16 The DESIGNER model is the only bath we have that we don t make. Things to note with this model is that it has an INWARD opening door, that makes it harder to get in and out of the bath. This model also doesn t have the fast-fill taps from the UK or the Canadian hydrotherapy spa system. These baths are designed and made in Australia. Unlike our other models which are suitable for home AND institutional usage, this one is only suitable for domestic use. It has a built-in seat like all our baths, an inward opening door.

19 NEVER buy a walk in bath without taps fitted. Special fast fill taps are needed, even for the smallest walk in bath. They are not available in tap shops, they are custom made. The taps used on Windsor Baths are made in the UK to the highest standards, to ensure every component of the tapware is designed to fill your bath as quickly as possible. A user of a walk in bath with standard taps found it took 18 minutes to fill the bath. Fast fill taps deliver 30 to 40 litres a minute [more with ¾ inlets], standard taps deliver 5 to 15 litres a minute. The worlds major vendors use custom made fast fill taps for a good reason, most commonly made in the UK, US or Australia. Some walk in baths come with a low quality, one piece, ribbed hose of around 35mm diameter. This results in a long wait for the bath to drain. Better walk in baths come with a complete drainage kit with a 40mm Hepflex hose which is smooth lined inside. This prevents the pipe getting waste matter caught in its internal ribbing at the lowest point, which happens with normal drains with internal ribs. The extra diameter increases the pipe by one third of extra area, to drain the water that much quicker? We use only body temperature heated air spas to prevent bruising to delicate skin that a water spa can cause. Our air spa system is made for hydrotherapy applications by the worlds leading provider in Canada. The system automatically self purges 20 minutes after usage, to help prevent passing on infections the next time it is used. The spa jets are designed to prevent skin bruising that can happen with normal spa Page 18

20 jets. The 16 jets are roughly the size of a 10 cent coin with 6 outlets on the RIM of each jet. This creates a flower pattern of vigorous massage instead of a centralised blast. Others use standard water/air systems used in pools and standard spas which cost less than a quarter of the price. You can turn on a heated air spa before you enter the bath to heat the bath shell, you can t do this with a water spa. While a door may help you get into the conventional lay in type bath, the big risk is getting stuck on the floor of the bath, unable to rise. This is why lay down type baths aren t fitted into aged care environments in Australia. As a general rule, if you can t step into a bath, you are in the high risk category for being unable to get up and out of a lay in type of bath. The larger water capacity of lay in type baths means you are standing [or laying] in the bath for a longer period while it fills. Can you reach the taps at the foot of the bath? Because of the weight of a metal flexi hose and shower head that go into the bath body, these are clumsy and difficult to use. Sliding a 1 to 1.5 metre metal hose into the hole in the bath is difficult and clumsy. This type of shower rarely has a WELS rating as required by Australian Standards. To overcome the weight issue, some suppliers use low weight [and quality] metal looking plastic hoses and plastic showers. You are better to use a vertical Australian external grab bar above the bath, with an attached, sliding, removable shower head on a flexi hose as shown here. Your plumber can supply these for about $300 [at BUNNINGS]. They are easy to fit, as the flexihose screws into the existing shower outlet. Again, the worlds major walk in bath supplier, Premier Baths use this method, as it is far better, safer and easier to use. A standard door is 2 8 wide [81cm] less the door jambs giving you about 31 [79 cm]. If the smallest dimension of a bath you are looking at is over 30 [76cm] you may not get it through your doors; check this. Page 19

21 These look good in theory, but many people find they feel insecure with these and find the transition from a seated to laying position, and the reverse, very awkward. Many people also find it difficult to reach the taps quickly, this makes scalding more likely. We looked at introducing a bath with a lift seat, but our testing group found them extremely harsh on backs. When the seat took them from a seating position, to a legs out position, all testers noted back strain. Overall, like a plastic shower chair, a very second rate solution. This is a key issue as it is largely about user safety. Having Australian sourced plumbing fittings is a key factor here. Ask also where the spa systems come from, and are they installed in Australia to Australian Standards. Here are questions to ask before buying. What is the IP [waterproof] rating of the electrics [ours is IPX5] If there is a hand held shower in the bath, what is the WELS rating? Do their spa motors have Australian Compliance test certificates [C tick] Do the spas have multiple one way water flow protection systems to stop water reaching the 240V electrics? - If there is a heated water spa, are there TWO thermostats as required by Australian Standards? Failure of a single thermostat model can have tragic results [think of a kettle]. These standards are about giving you a bath that is safe and will give years of trouble free ownership. Don t compromise your safety and security. Page 20

22 The best after sales service is to which have never had a failure.. Our baths use Australian plumbing parts We use a Canadian Hydrotherapy system which very rarely fails, which we install in our own Australian workshop to meet our quality needs. As much as we try to have a world class, faultless product, we do have about 2-3 warranty calls annually from the hundreds of baths sold. Firstly, you call our 24 hour, 1800 number and let the person answering know your situation. We then call you and organise a local service person to see you. They look at the situation and usually fix it on the spot. If you live in a remote area and need a special part, it s send by Overnight Express and it s fixed ASAP. Naturally it s all at no cost to you. - The bath repair looks good and very strong. Thanks for your good service my baths spa stopped working, I phoned around 10am on a Monday morning, their electrician was around that afternoon to look at it, and he returned the next day with the part and it was all done in a little over 24 hours, surprising service in this day and age Page 21
