What size water heater is needed for a walk in tub?

Most walk in tubs require a water heater with a capacity of 50 gallons or more to ensure enough hot water for a full bath.

Given that walk in tubs hold between 50 and 80 gallons of water, it’s essential to have a large-capacity water heater, typically 50 gallons or more. If your water heater is smaller, you may run out of hot water before the tub is fully filled, making an upgrade necessary.

A 50-gallon water heater is recommended for most walk in tubs.
