The new 3666 OV and 3672 OV give builders two more choices for oval drop-in tubs from Mansfield. Each tub includes two back jets, end drain and the option of drop-in or undermount installation.

Three new Tile Flange Skirt (TFS) tubs provide more options for alcove installation. The new 3060TFS NCA and 3260TFS NCA have an internal depth of 17 inches and have no contoured armrests for a minimalist look. The two tubs include end drains, integral tile flange/apron and optional removable access panels. Finally, the 4272TFS features two flat front panels for simple access to the pump/motor along with integral tile flange/apron and armrests.

  “These additions to our popular series of PRO-FIT products give builders more choices than ever before on selecting tubs for their projects,” says Haley Davis, product manager for Mansfield Plumbing. “Our Made-in-America high-gloss cast acrylic bathware is crafted from the finest long-strand fibers available. The fibers are combined with high-quality resins that are hand-rolled for superior strength and durability.”

In addition to the five new PRO-FIT models, the decks on three models (3660OV, 4260OV and 4268 OV ED) are all flat to allow the option of undermount installation. For several TFS models (3260TFS, 3660TFS, 3672TFS and 4260TFS) the tubs have been redesigned for a minimalistic look. Either one or two flat panels now allow for easy access to the pump/motor.

New draining options for PRO-FIT tubs include a Tip Toe Drain that provides fast and easy draining by simply tapping the drain with your toe to open or close the drain. Or, an effortless twist operation is available with a Cable-Operated Drain. Both are available in Chrome, Brushed Nickel, Everbrass or Oil Rubbed Bronze. Finally, superior flush mount air injectors are now being used on PRO-FIT Air Massage Bath models, with air forced through the air injectors which are installed on the back wall of the tub. Each air injector has a check valve that prevents water from flowing back into the air line.

“This combination system encourages both ultimate relaxation and invigorating bathing experiences,” says Haley Davis, product manager for Mansfield Plumbing. “Now people can select the type of bath they wish based on their moods and desires. Having both options in a single tub makes the Swirl-way Combination Whirlpool and Air Massage Bath System a smart investment for a homeowner.”

Mansfield Plumbing has also enhanced our Made-in-America Swirl-way systems with several other significant changes, including:

– Inclusion of an ozonator as a standard feature of the Swirl-way^® Comfort Package whirlpools and the Combination systems. The ozonator automatically emits bacteria-killing ozone into the whirlpool piping system twice every 24 hours. The ozonator is also available as an option on the Swirl-way^® Essentials Package whirlpools.

– New draining options for Swirl-way tubs include a Tip Toe Drain that provides fast and easy draining by simply tapping the drain with your toe to open or close the drain. Or, an effortless twist operation is available with a Cable-Operated Drain. Both are available in Chrome, Brushed Nickel, Everbrass or Oil Rubbed Bronze.

– Flush mount air injectors are now included in the construction of Swirl-way Air Baths. Air is forced through the air injectors which are installed on the back wall of the tub. Each air injector has a check valve that prevents water from flowing back into the air line.

“In addition to these enhancements, we have also realigned our product categories for Swirl-way products,” says Davis. “Our updated whirlpool packages include the Essentials Package with several upgrade options and the Comfort Package with a fuller line of included features.”

The Swirl-way line includes five different hydrotherapy systems: bathtub, whirlpool bath, air massage bath, combination whirlpool and air massage bath and the MicroDerm^TM therapeutic bath. Durable high-gloss cast acrylic is used to construct each system.

This issue focuses on “Bathroom Innovations” in a number of categories and names several “Best Buys.” At Mansfield Plumbing, we’re honored to once again get the Best Buy designation in the standard bathtub category for our Mansfield Avalon Soaking Tub.

The evaluation by the team at Consumers Digest states: “The Avalon Soaking Tub is a repeat Best Buy selection, because we found that it still provides the deepest bathing experience of any standard tub that’s on the market — 20-3/4 inches before overflow. This model also provides more sculpted features, including lumbar back support and armrests, than do other standard bathtubs. It’s the only standard bathtub that we evaluated that has two convenient grab handles, which make the process of climbing in and out of the tub easy.” 

            This designation of “Premium Selection” by Consumers Digest highlights the seven colors Avalon comes in plus its 10-year warranty. For details on other bathroom products featured in the story, make sure to pick up a copy of the magazine

Not an ordinary bath, but a MicroDerm^TM Therapeutic Bath. Our MicroDerm bath equates to an in-home spa treatment. It silently infuses bathwater with millions of microbubbles to help you relax, unwind and feel rejuvenated.

MicroDerm provides a stimulating bath that makes skin feel softer and more energized. Liquid film technology super-saturates the bath with up to 50 percent more dissolved oxygen molecules than in regular bath water to gently stimulate and soften skin.

“Just trying this bathing experience once totally hooks a person,” says Davis. “It’s incredible how clean and soft this bath leaves the skin. Independent testing has been done and the results are impressive. One hundred percent of test participants with the MicroDerm demonstrated improved hydration and moisture content in the upper layer of the skin after a ten-minute immersion.

“This bathing encounter is completely unique. Tiny oxygen-rich bubbles burst quietly on the skin to help clean and hydrate while exfoliating the skin’s outermost layer.”

Available from Mansfield Plumbing in the company’s Swirl-way^® product line in 25 models with tub unit sizes of 60″ x 32″ to 72″ x 42″, the MicroDerm comes in rectangular, oval and corner shapes. There are 25 different tubs, including both one- and two-person versions. Tub colors include white, bone, biscuit, almond, black, ice gray and British khaki. Trim finishes are available in white, bone, biscuit and polished chrome.

The new cast acrylic Restore^TM ACR Walk-In Tub from Mansfield Plumbing boasts a low 7″ entry threshold, 17″ high ADA-compliant seat and easy-to-access cable-operated drain.  Available as a bathtub, whirlpool, air bath, combination whirlpool and air bath, or MicroDerm^TM Therapeutic Bath, Restore ACR is IAPMO approved and is manufactured in the U.S.A.

            “We’ve just made walk-in bathing experiences easier and more comfortable,” says Haley Davis, product manager with Mansfield Plumbing. “There are 10 different models of the Restore ACR and they all feature a non-rusting door hinge and handle, water-tight inward swinging door, textured slip-resistant floor, and a high seat that allows the bather to remain upright while being completely submerged.

“From an aesthetic standpoint, the Restore ACR offers a smooth, glossy appearance that won’t fade, and it’s easier to clean than many other surfaces. When you consider the optional heated seat and backrest plus the standard features of these units, the Restore ACR is ideal for many different residential and commercial settings.”

Standard features on each model include:

– Bath: A soothing soak in warm water.

– Whirlpool: 12 adjustable jets (4 lumbar jets, 4 leg and calf jets, and 4 body jets) that focus on aching muscles, an inline water heater, ozonator and Chromatherapy color light system.

– Air Bath: 16 air injectors to gently relax the body plus the Chromatherapy color light system.

– Combination Whirlpool and Air Bath:  12 adjustable jets (4 lumbar jets, 4 leg and calf jets, and 4 body jets) and 16 air injectors maximize the bathing experience. Inline water heater, ozonator and Chromatherapy color light system.

– MicroDerm Therapeutic Bath: The infusion of millions of oxygen-rich microbubbles help the bather relax, while softening and exfoliating the skin. As microbubbles burst against submerged body, heat is released to invigorate the skin surface and warm the water, increasing the temperature while eliminating the need to add hot water to the bath.

White Restore ACR walk-in tubs come in a 51-1/2″ x 30″ x 40″ size and fit through a standard 32″ bathroom doorway. Removable front and end panels allow easy access to the mechanics of the tub. A unique ozonator on the whirlpool and combination bath safely emits ozone into the water lines of the unit to eliminate the growth of bacteria. The units are all backed by a lifetime warranty on the door seal, a 10-year warranty on the shell and a five-year warranty on the mechanics.

Here are five great options we offer for slipping away into a quiet, soothing bath at the end of a long day:

Soaking Tubs – Ergonomically designed and significantly deeper than standard bathtubs, a soaking tub allows full body support and deep immersion into comforting waters.

Whirlpool Tubs – Precision-aimed jets of water can relax and rejuvenate the body in a whirlpool bath. Strategically-placed jets target different parts of the body for deep tissue massage.

Air Massage Baths – While whirlpools circulate water from the bathtub to massage the body, air baths inject streams of air into the bathing well, surrounding the body with relaxing bubbles. Choices include vigorous hydrotherapy massages and softer, more soothing baths.

Microbubble Tubs – New generation of bathing experiences for tension-riddled people. The MicroDerm^TM Therapeutic Bath silently infuses bathwater with millions of microbubbles to help a bather relax, unwind and feel rejuvenated. Oxygen-rich bubbles burst quietly on the skin to help clean and hydrate while exfoliating the skin’s outermost layer.

Walk-in Tubs – If getting in and out of a tub is a challenge (or your client thinks it might be in the future) a tall walk-in tub with an inward swinging door is the ideal solution. Created with an ADA-height seat, the Restore tub provides a deep well for bathing with options for air massage and whirlpool jets.

            “Mansfield tub products stand out from the competition in many ways,” says Haley Davis, product manager for Mansfield Plumbing. “Our Swirl-way^® whirlpools feature a variable speed motor that allows you to select the pump speed desired instead of settling for a tub with one average speed.

“This means if you need strong power from the whirlpool jets to release the tensions in aching muscles, it’s there at your fingertips. But, if your desire is for a slower, easier flow of water you can adjust the jets to achieve that. It’s all up to you.”

In addition to have customizable power in the Swirl-way tubs, Davis reports that all of the whirlpools (plus those in the Pro-fit^® line) have fully adjustable jets. This gives you the ability to adjust the volume of water coming out of the multiple jets to focus individual attention on aching parts of the body … including the back.

“A mother who has been lifting toddlers all day or a biker who has exceeded his comfort level of cycling on an outing, will appreciate the benefits of focusing individual jet strength and attention to specific hurting areas of the body,” says Davis. “The ability to adjust jet streams of water does not come with all whirlpools. This is a special feature that helps set Mansfield products apart in the marketplace.”

To further enhance and customize the Mansfield whirlpool experience, homeowners can order chromatherapy mood light systems, in-line heaters to keep bath water warm no matter how long they soak, and other specialty accessories.
