Just $199.00 supplied and installed! Check out this video for the Hydra Spa hand shower. The Hydra Spa converts a regular shower head to an 8" rain shower and hand shower combination.

The 5' metal hand shower hose connects at the lower end of the slide bar for improved reach when sitting or standing in the shower.

No drilling and no damaged tiles. The Hydra Spa is a "drill free" design so the only tool required to install it is a crescent wrench (or your cousin Eddy😜). Fast to install and easy to use for a luxurious rain shower or hand shower experience!

We can supply and install for $199.00 in Toronto and GTA or you can buy and install yourself. Barb and I installed one in our shower and we love it! 😍

Question:
Do grab bars need to be installed in studs?

Answer:
In a commercial environment or in public buildings, grab bars are required to be installed in framing or blocking in defined locations so everyone (ideally) of all shapes, sizes and abilities can use them. In a residential environment, the first priority is to place the grab bar in a location based on the needs of the primary user and family. If a stud can be found in that location then we'll mount accordingly. If a stud is not available, then we will use any number of specialized, industry approved ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) wall anchors that are designed to safely secure grab bars to walls. The priority is to locate the grab bar where it is most usefully accessed.

For years I was managing a business that renovated residential properties for improved accessibility and safety, essentially a business that enabled people to age-in-place.

Very often we had customers who needed to have a barrier free shower system installed for a relatively short period of time while the family member remained at home. When no longer needed, the barrier free shower system could be removed and the bathroom returned to it's original or upgraded design.

For these applications, we installed a three or four piece barrier free shower system that featured plywood backed walls (structural integrity and ease of grab bar placement) with a beautiful faux ceramic tile interior and a low threshold for easy walk-in or shower chair access. The great thing about these showers is that there is no mud, mortar and ceramic tile needed to install it. All you needed was to make sure that the framing was square and the plumbing was lined up and from there, the shower was easily installed within the day. When no longer needed, the shower could be removed without a mess and usually in less than two hours.

Here's a picture of the shower noting the many features that are important for safe and enjoyable shower access and ideally suited for those wishing to age-in-place!
