The Empava EMPV-67AIS03 is a 67" rectangular freestanding whirlpool tub with matching ends, which Empava calls an impressive centerpiece for any bathroom style. It measures 66.93" L x 33.47" W x 24.02" H and holds 69 gallons at a 14" soaking depth.
8 Jets and a 69-Gallon Soak
Its jets, headrests and drain are laid out symmetrically: massage jets at both ends, a dual-end headrest design and the drain in the middle, so the bath stays uninterrupted, Empava says, no matter which side you choose to bathe on.
Eight adjustable water jets cover the body: two aimed at the lumbar region, two along each side of the body and two at the feet. A 0.75 HP pump drives them, and it plugs into a grounded 110/120V, 15 amp outlet. The hand shower hose extends up to 1.5 meters, so you can spray all around the tub, not just the middle areas.
All the fixtures come pre-installed: drain, overflow, faucet, knobs and shower head. The headrest is designed to dry rapidly and resist dirt and odors, and Empava says the acrylic's anti-mildew properties keep upkeep minimal. Empty, it weighs 105.82 lbs.
Planning Around a 66.93" x 33.47" Footprint
Plan for an overall size of 66.93" L x 33.47" W x 24.02" H; empty, it weighs 105.82 lbs. It holds 69 gallons at a 14" soaking depth. The drain is in the center, with a 1.65" opening. Empava's manual plans for a 31.5" drain pipe with the floor drain 12" from the tub drain, and 1/2" hot and cold supply connectors. For power, Empava lists 110/120V, 15A.
Choosing Within Empava's AIS Whirlpool Range
If you are weighing options within Empava's AIS freestanding whirlpool range, the models closest in nominal size are the EMPV-67AIS01, the EMPV-67AIS02 and the EMPV-67AIS05. 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-67AIS03 is an Empava 67" freestanding whirlpool tub with 8 jets and 69 gallons of water.

Installation & Care
Installation
Freestanding, center drain; overall 66.93" L x 33.47" W x 24.02" H, 105.82 lbs empty. The tub's drain pipe is 31.5" long, and Empava's manual places the floor drain 12" from the tub drain so the pipe forms an S-bend odor trap; leave a drain opening of at least 2.0". Rough in 1/2" external-thread hot and cold supply connectors that stand 1.18" out from the wall, with a shutoff valve on each line where you can reach it for service. The pump runs on a grounded 15A outlet, 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), installed by a licensed electrician as Empava specifies. 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.
