American Standard Soaking Tubs Really Do Set the Standard
When homeowners are considering a new tub, American Standard soaking tubs are at the top of the list. They've been there since1875. That was the year that the Standard Sanitary Manufacturing Company was born. Over the years, Standard Sanitary absorbed several smaller plumbing parts manufacturers. Standard Sanitary Manufacturing Co. invented many of the bathroom fixtures that we take for granted today. They include built-in tubs, combination faucets (the type of faucets that mix hot and cold water together), and corrosion proof chrome finishes for brass fittings. In 1929 Standard Sanitary merged with American Radiator company to become the American Radiator and Standard Sanitary Corp. This made them the worlds largest manufacturer of bathroom fixtures. In 1967 the name was changed to what we know today, American Standard.
American Standard makes two models of tubs that are specifically called soaking tubs. One is the Reminiscence Slipper Soaking Tub. It's a claw foot single slipper back model that's made out of acrylic. It features a molded in headrest, arm rest and slip resistant bottom. While not as deep as some of the Asian models on the market today, it has a 34 gallons to overflow capacity with a depth of 14" to overflow. It's a very classic looking free standing tub.
The other designated soaker that American Standard makes is the Green Tea Bathing Pool. This model is a little more reminiscent of an Asian tub. It's made of acrylic backed with fiberglass and comes in both 5' and 6' models. Built into both models are neck rests and arm supports. This bathing pool is one of the bigger models that American Standard makes with a capacity of 79 gallons and 14" to overflow. The floor support where you put this model is a real consideration since the tubs weight with water is 744 lbs.
The final deep soaker in the lineup is the Evolution Bathing Pool. This is a rectangular fiberglass reinforced acrylic tub with built-in neck and headrests. This is the deepest tub in the lineup 18.5" and 54 gallons to overflow. This tub, like the Green Tea Bathing Pool, can be ordered as a therapeutic tub with jets.
While American Standard has a solid reputation overall, there have been problems reported. The primary complaints are that they're easy to chip, and that rust spots frequently occur around the drain. While these problems certainly don't surface with every tub, they are something to take into consideration.
American Standard soaking tubs are worth a close look when you're considering a new tub.
