I'm thinking of doing this in my bathtub. Could I rig it with a broom stick for length? I have a bad back.

Does your broomstick have a screw thread? Because you need to screw the stick into the cone. The circumference of the thread from the stick it comes with is 2 & 3/8 inches. The width and space between each thread is 1/8 inch. I tried it in the bathtub and it does not work as well as in the 5 gallon bucket. Actually, you will do more energy work in the bathtub. In the bucket, you don't use as much energy and the MobileWasher is more powerful with the suction and pushing air and water through the clothes to make them very clean, better than the washer machine.

Just add to hacker's answer, if you use loops at end of brooms handles, you could hang more. Weight wise, Should be fine.

This is a poor product. I do not think it would suction at all in your situation. In a bathtub, you may do better with a stainless steel mesh drain filter that actually fits down into the drain. Check Home Depot or Lowe's for the diameter of the opening. I attempted to use the Hair Snare in a shower stall, but it just floated on the water. I threw it in the garbage.

It seems as if it should work well inside of a bathtub. Th surface where you place the grip bar should be flat and not curved. The suction cups are very strong (as long as they are adhered to a smooth pat surface).

It would probly work even better! It is adjustable though. As you can see in the photo, it is up against the shower wall, a free standing tub would allow you to navigate better and show the beauty of the piece. I love mine and get many compliments as it is in my guest bath. Dont worry about tub scratches either..its a snug fit with no movement once adjusted and installed.

Suzanne, try levering the frame of the tub with crowbar, carefully? You might just get what you need.

You can probably do that, although I believe it's going to take a looooong time for it to soften, keep in mind that you want the whole tub to soften, not just the outer edge. Hope this helps.

No, you will need some kind of support for the waterBob to function as designed/intended. Your bathtub is the ideal location for the waterBob.

Good question - since most clawfoot tubs are in older houses with tall ceilings. We just used a peice of chain to lengthen the rod. It was a rental house, and we're already moved on so I don't have a picture. By the way, this product worked for us - it is definitely a little more on the less-quality side of things (just light-gauge materials, overall cheap feel to it). It worked for what we wanted, and would buy one again. If it were my house, I would just get rid of the tub for something more usable. You end up with nowhere to put shampoo or soap.

Depending how agile you are this may work. My concern would be stepping down into the tub, would your footing be stable? The bar works well as an aid for balance but is not as stable as a wall mounted safety bar

No, using it to pull yourself up from a sitting position will result in pulling it off the rim of the tub. I use this device to steady my self when standing to taking a shower. It works well for that.

I just put it on the edge of my bathtub (I have a seated area). It doesn't really move much unless you have a large piece of soap that is very heavy, like I typically use. It is stable. It will not just fall over into the bath area.

I would not just due to risk of falling is heigh. Shower is wet and slippery and pole could slide out

It is great as a floor scrubber but I think the bristles are too hard and stiff for a bathtub. For the tile and surround it should work fine, and as a previous reply, you have to take care because the brush swivels. For the price, I would recommend giving it a try.However, there are also long handled bathtub scrubbers available. I have one because I can't do the lean-over scrub thing. I ran upstairs to see the name on my tub scrubber and it isn't there. Check Amazon for tub scrubbers. They are like very large long handled dish scrubbers. I love my floor scrubber. Good luck finding the tub scrubber if you decide not to get the floor scrubber. I can't do without either of my scrubbers..

Yes I will admit that the design is great for that. Both of my children (one baby and one toddler) are both very very active in the bathtub and used it for a few months. Neither of them fell. I hope this helps.

I believe it would be very cumbersome in a standard tub. I believe there are smaller stools available.

Hi, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. My chair's legs are 15 inches apart so you are fine. I use it in a bathtub and I have no problems. I find the chair study and well made. You have to put it together. My roommate did it for me and he tightened the screws well.
