The exact water capacity depends on the size of the bather and how much water is displaced. Luckily, most new home water heater tanks can easily fill a walk-in tub. Most manufacturers recommend that you have a new 50+ gallon water tank in order to maintain the preferred water temperature in the bath. To learn how to choose the right water heater, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kohlerwalkinbath.com\/blog\/how-to-choose-the-right-water-heater-a-buyers-guide\/\">Buyer\u2019s Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Cost<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kohlerwalkinbath.com\/price-cost\/\" rel=\"noopener\">costs of a walk-in tub<\/a> can be higher than the price of a typical bathtub. The good news? A walk-in tub comes with far more features than a normal bathtub, making it well worth the price tag. If you are looking for a bathtub that has easy access, whirlpool jets, a heated backrest, a handshower and so much more, then a walk-in tub is a smart investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"content secondary-column\">\n          <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<br \/>\n<b>Warning<\/b>:  Undefined variable $classes in <b>\/var\/www\/html\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/gucci\/library\/template-parts\/blocks\/section-content.php<\/b> on line <b>9<\/b><br \/>\n<section id=\"content-block_988810e17822c0bcd9ab8a649789e150\" class=\"section section--content  \">\n\t<div class=\"layout one-column\">\n    <div class=\"content main-content\">\n      <p>Bathing in a KOHLER Walk-In Bath is an elevated experience that is unlike any bath you\u2019ve had before.
