The Empava EMPV-59JT319LED is a 59" corner whirlpool tub with an inline heater and LED lights, designed to fit into a corner and, Empava says, tailored for small bathrooms. It measures 59.1" L x 59.1" W x 25" H, holds 91 gallons and gives a 14" soaking depth, with a left-side drain.
10 Jets and a 91-Gallon Soak
The triangular shape, inspired by the shell in The Birth of Venus, sits neatly in a corner. Inside, Empava combined the oval with wide angles to create an ergonomic slope that follows the spine, and the arched head pillows support the neck.
Ten water jets loosen muscles and joints, followed by LED chromatherapy lights. The inline heater keeps the bath warm on a single fill: Empava's manual says it stops at 104°F and only runs while the water is at least 77°F.
The faucet, hand shower, headrest, drain and overflow come with the tub. Empava's manual calls for two separate 110/120V 15A dedicated GFCI circuits; the front panel can be removed for service. Empty, it weighs 176 lbs.
Planning Around a 59.1" x 59.1" Footprint
Plan for an overall size of 59.1" L x 59.1" W x 25" H; empty, it weighs 176 lbs. It holds 91 gallons at a 14" soaking depth. The drain is on the left side, with a 1.65" opening. For power, Empava lists 110/120V, two separate dedicated grounded 15A outlets.
Choosing Within Empava's JT Jetted Tub Range
If you are weighing options within Empava's JT jetted tub range, the models closest in nominal size are the EMPV-59JT005, the EMPV-59JT011 and the EMPV-59JT408LED. Each is listed with its own photos, specifications and documents, so you can compare size, capacity, jets and drain position against this model.
Empava designs its jetted tubs for fill-and-drain use: the tub is drained after each bath and refilled with fresh water, and the jets run only when the water covers the highest jet by at least 1" to 2". Its manual recommends flushing the pump and pipes before first use and once a month with hot water and a low-foaming detergent, and cleaning hair and lint from the suction cover, so the jets stay clean. Before installation, Empava asks you to run every function with water in the tub for a few minutes and report any defect.
In short, the EMPV-59JT319LED is an Empava 59" corner whirlpool tub with 10 jets, a heater, LED lighting and 91 gallons of water.

Installation & Care
Installation
Corner/alcove install, left-side drain; overall 59.1" L x 59.1" W x 25" H, 176 lbs empty. Level it with the adjustable feet and a wrench; an unlevel tub can be noisy and hold water in the hoses. Rough in 1/2" external-thread hot and cold supply connectors, with a shutoff valve on each line where you can reach it for service. With a flexible drain hose, Empava's manual offsets the floor drain 12" so the hose forms an S-bend odor trap; a direct drain follows the plumbing drawing. Empava's manual calls for two separate grounded, dedicated 15A outlets, with the external circuit behind a high-sensitivity, fast-trip GFCI (leakage-protection) switch (induced current below 15mA, trip time under 0.1 second, rated current above 30A), and installation by a licensed contractor, electrician and plumber; the pump and heater carry a pressure connector for a No. 8 AWG copper bonding conductor. Before you set it in place, fill the tub and run every function for a few minutes: Empava asks that any defect is reported before installation.
Care
Flush the jet system before first use and once a month: fill with hot water (about 104°F) 0.9" to 1.2" above the jets, add 2 to 3 teaspoons of low-foaming dishwasher detergent, run the jets for 10 minutes and drain, then refill with cold water, run 15 minutes and drain again. Clear hair and lint from the suction cover regularly and never run the jets dry; the water must cover the highest jet by at least 1" to 2". Clean the acrylic with water or a mild detergent; acids, alkalis and solvent cleaners damage the surface. Light scratches can be wet-sanded with 1200 then 2000 grit paper and polished back to a gloss. In freezing weather, drain the tub and its pipes. Do not use the heated tub immediately after strenuous exercise.
