Niagara Bathing System - DB-NIAGARA-1500

The Drive Niagara Bathing System, item DB-NIAGARA-1500, is a height-adjustable supine bathing tub for a care home, long-term care floor, or a home that is being built around a facility-grade tub. Westin Healthcare quotes it for sites in Brampton, the Greater Toronto Area, and the rest of Ontario. Drive prints a 600 lb (272 kg) family rating.

On Drive's current card, DB-NIAGARA-1500 is the height-adjustable base with a thermostatic mixing valve and a built-in disinfection system. It is not the Air Spa model. Air Spa is Drive item DB-NIAGARA-1600. Adjustable-height dimensions are 35.5 in wide by 90 in long by 30 in to 42 in high (90.2 cm by 228.6 cm by 76.2 cm to 106.7 cm). Drive does not sell this SKU in the web cart. A sales representative places the order.

Who this bathing system is for

This bathing system is for a care team that needs a supine tub with anti-scald fill, a disinfection cabinet, and a height-adjustable base, and that stays at or under the 600 lb family rating. It is not a portable home bath lift and it is not a shower chair.

If the need is a home soaking-tub lift, start with the Bellavita Auto Bath Lifter. If the need is a seated home wash with a bidet, see the PreserveTech Aquachair Bathing System with Bidet.

• Height-adjustable supine tub, Drive item DB-NIAGARA-1500
• Thermostatic fill at 15 gallons per minute, temperature display
• Built-in disinfection cabinet, no CleanDrive Air Spa on this SKU

Fill, disinfection, and what 1500 is not

Drive prints a thermostatic mixing valve for anti-scald protection and a 15 gallon per minute fill. A handheld shower wand can run while the tub fills. A water-temperature display watches the fill and the wand. Supply lines are 3/4 in stainless-steel mesh. The disinfection cabinet sits on the side of the tub and locks.

Drive's family sheet also names the CleanDrive Air Spa. That feature belongs to DB-NIAGARA-1600 (adjustable, with Air Spa) and DB-NIAGARA-1300 (fixed, with Air Spa). DB-NIAGARA-1500 is the adjustable base without Air Spa. Ask us if the site needs Air Spa before the order is placed.

Drive does not print a homeowner DIY install. Water and drain work follow Drive's install book and a plumber or facilities team. We do not invent stud, anchor, or rough-in advice beyond that.

Drive Niagara Bathing System specifications

These figures are for Drive item DB-NIAGARA-1500 as printed on Drive's current Niagara one-pager. The specification tab holds the stored values. Use the adjustable-height line, not the fixed-height line.

Capacity 600 lb (272 kg). Adjustable size 35.5 in W by 90 in L by 30 in to 42 in H (90.2 cm by 228.6 cm by 76.2 cm to 106.7 cm). Fixed-height siblings on the same sheet are 35.5 in by 84 in by 32.5 in. Drive's sheet does not print a warranty year.

Bath lift chair or transfer bench

A bath lift chair for elderly use is a portable seat that sits in a standard home tub and raises and lowers on a battery. A transfer bench bridges a home tub wall. The Drive Niagara Bathing System is neither. It is a facility-grade supine tub that replaces the bathing fixture.

For a home tub that stays in place, start with the Bellavita Auto Bath Lifter or the Drive Combination Transfer Bench and Commode.

Funding help for bathroom safety equipment in Ontario

Ontario's Assistive Devices Program (ADP) does not fund bathroom safety equipment, so plan around other routes. Funding that may help instead: March of Dimes Canada's Home and Vehicle Modification Program, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), extended health plans, and community programs. Westin Healthcare's staff work with these programs every week and will point you to the right route for your situation. Visit our funding page or call (905) 451-7743 to talk it through before you buy.
