The Empava EMPV-67AIS38-BN is a 67" oval freestanding whirlpool tub with 18 hydro-jets and chromatherapy LED light, in a 28.7" wide shell for one adult. It measures 66.9" L x 28.7" W x 29.5" H, holds 51 gallons and gives a 13.8" soaking depth, with a center drain.
18 Jets and a 51-Gallon Soak
Eighteen jets are positioned for a vigorous, full-body massage, powered by a pump on a grounded 110/120V, 15 amp outlet. The interior is contoured for the back, neck and shoulders, with a gently sloped back and an integrated headrest for a relaxed recline.
The 10W underwater LED is switched from the tub's control panel; once on, it cycles through seven colors in a set sequence. The pump has its own button next to it.
At 66.9" x 28.7", Empava describes a well-balanced size that fits one adult without overwhelming the bathroom, with ample room to recline and stretch. The shell is white acrylic. It ships with the drain and overflow only, with no faucet and no heater.
Planning Around a 66.9" x 28.7" Footprint
Plan for an overall size of 66.9" L x 28.7" W x 29.5" H. It holds 51 gallons at a 13.8" 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-67AIS10, the EMPV-67AIS17 and the EMPV-67AIS01. 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-67AIS38-BN is an Empava 67" freestanding whirlpool tub with 18 jets, LED lighting and 51 gallons of water.
Features
Eighteen Hydro-Jets
Eighteen jets give a vigorous, full-body massage. Empava describes them as meticulously positioned hydro-jets.
28.7" Width
At 28.7" wide and 66.9" long, Empava says the tub fits one adult comfortably. It calls the overall footprint efficient and practical for most residential layouts.
Seven-Color LED
A 10W underwater light cycles through seven colors once switched on. It is switched on from the tub's control panel.
Contoured Recline
A gentle back slope and integrated headrest support the back, neck and shoulders. Empava says this promotes a relaxed reclining position.
Center Drain
Empava's spec tab lists a centered drain with a 1.65" drain size. The tub ships with the drain and overflow.
110/120V Jet System
Empava's manual has it plug into a grounded 110/120V, 15A outlet with fast-trip leakage (GFCI) protection, installed by a licensed electrician.
Drain and Overflow Included
Empava lists the drain and overflow as the parts included with the tub. No faucet is included with it.

Installation & Care
Installation
Freestanding, center drain; overall 66.9" L x 28.7" W x 29.5" H. No faucet is included. 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.
