What is the size of drain valve

Desperately wanted to be able to soak in hot water for arthritis. This seems durable enough, but was difficult to fill as I only have a shower head; therefore a lot of water went outside the tub, and it would not remain fully open at the top, in spite of vertical PVC supports (generally floppy and shifted position). I adapted by making a large funnel with a plastic milk bottle, however, this required that I hold the funnel over the shower head while filling- not fun if you have pain. I meet the size requirements and getting in was easy- getting back out not so much. You really need to fold yourself up- especially at the knees, which have to be crossed or fully flexed. Unlike other reviewers, I didn't find that the water stayed warm for a long time. There is a round cover that you can put over your head, but it doesn't match the shape of the tub very well. All directions are in Chinese and pictures don't help much, but it wasn't hard to figure out- did try to fill the first time with plug open- and it is very important to run the drain hose to your shower drain if it is under the tub. I used this twice and then got my landlords' permission to have a hot tub- it was disconcerting to see how long it took to even fill this 1/3 full, only to dump it after a few minutes. So, now it is folded up in my garage- maybe good for a flea dip or something, but it won't see my body again. Sigh.

Life changing. Fits me perfectly, I am 5'1" and 120 pounds. I don't inflate the ring so the edge does not block my vision. Also lets me rest my arms on the side. I sit slightly cross legged, or with my toes against the front of the tub, or sit on my shins, Asian style. I first used it in the shower, but much prefer it outdoors. We set it on a palette, water the Aspens with the cooled water. Got hot water directly from the water heater, then adjust the temp with the garden hose. If you do this, you need to plumb the heater so the water comes from the top, as the bottom of the heater is where the cold water flows. So far, I have been soaking every night! I just bought one for my Japanese mother.

Just what I needed! Love it. So glad I took the chance on this.

I am about to replace my old one of these with this tub, which is the same tub but pink instead. I swear by these tubs- -BUT--there is some creative engineering required depending on your circumstances.I used this in my master bath, which the previous owner thought hilarious to have built with only a shower stall. I have considerable physical pain, and the shallow, joke of a tub in the guest bath only mocks me.1. CATS: This should go without saying, but pets with sharp claws and this tub do not mix. My cat ruined the inflatable ring around the top of my current one. She didn't like baths, of course, but enjoyed the funny sounds i made when she threatened my aquatherapy with her tiny paws of doom. Inevitably, she won that contest. The tub still functions, just not as aesthetically or quite as comfortably.2. TAP: I use a handheld shower attachment, which I connected directly to the shower pipe, after unscrewing the old shower head. I can now either use this as intended, or, i often remove the actual shower part from the end, and effectively have a hose that sits nicely in my tub and fills it, quickly. You can get either a handheld shower attachment or just the attachment hose from most hardware stores, and they are not expensive. Mine was $10 plus tax.3. DRAIN: Being that my master bath shower stall is only just big enough for this tub, i had to devise a method of draining the thing; the drain is on the side of the tub, the shower drain in the center of the shower stall. The tub i have came with a cheap, semi-hard accordion tube for draining. I scrunched this a bit to make it a tad narrower, then ran it through an old vacuum cleaner tube attachment, which holds its structural integrity now as I run it under the tub, where the end is stuck firmly in my drain. Now it drains easily with the opening of the drain cap inside the tub proper. (Just...yeah, don't sit directly on the tube.) I'm cheap, so i MacGyvered it, but you can also purchase a stronger rubber hose and needed adapter gaskets from said hardware store. Once set up, it's hassle free.4. CLOGS: I use a tea strainer over the drain opening when I'm done, so that the tube and drain itself don't get nasty. Any hair or other debris are trapped on the tea strainer and easily removed. I secure with a rubber band and a stern look.5. FILL-LINE: I sat in the tub until it was the perfect depth, then got out. I used a permanent marker to mark where the water was, so that now i can fill the tub to that line and not flood my bathroom with water displacement from accidentally over filling.6. Also, -don't- leave it filling and forget about it--there is no overflow drain, and you will have an annoyed home insurance adjuster and an unhappy, but karmically reimbursed, cat.All in all, this type of tub works great. Obviuosly i like it enough to use it daily, and to replace it. If my cat hadn't ninja'd the rim of my current one, it would still be going good, and in fact I've made it work without the rim for a couple years now. The water does a fine job holding the tub itself up and open.But, this one is pink.
