My inlaws moved into my rental home and I was wondering if anyone has experience with those walkin tubs. I've not talked to them about it yet as i wanted to get some feedback first before I even bring it it up. They both have pacemakers and I'm not sure if a bath could over heat them? I'm not being funny here, I just don't want something that could harm them. They're both getting where getting into the tub/shower is harder for them. Those tubs are very expensive, but, once in while I see them on Craigslist where someone has taken the tub out. bjr23
 
Don't have one and never used one. When we looked at them I became concerned about sitting in the tub waiting for it to fill or empty. A bit chilly when wet I'd think.
