Some manufacturers say if a standard shower is 7 minutes that you use the same amount of water as a standard shower and you use 7 gallons of water a minute. Many of the walk in baths available on the market have a 40-80 gallon capacity. In reality, many manufacturers recommend that you have a hot water tank that fits at least 50 gallons, though some baths will function effectively if you fill them with 40-60 gallons.

Question 2

2) Do these tubs drain normally?

Yes. Occasionally, however, it is critical to modify the plumbing determined by the precise location of the drains. Installers may have to add a fitting to the present wastewater conduit for a walk in bath. Existing plumbing may allow for quicker drain times or slower drain times.
