The Empava EMPV-71PRO04 is a 71" alcove two-person dual massage tub with an inline heater and lit bubble jets, built around a gently tilted backrest for a relaxed soak, alone or together. It measures 71.7" L x 47.6" W x 26" H, holds 120 gallons and gives a 16.46" soaking depth, with a center drain.
16 Water Jets and 19 Air Jets
The ergonomic backrest tilts back for comfort, so whether you are soaking solo or sharing the tub, you can fully unwind. It fits an alcove or a corner, with the drain in the center.
Sixteen hydrotherapy jets ease sore muscles with a powerful massage, and 19 bubble jets give gentle relaxation, with lighting built into the bubble jets. The inline heater holds the water between 77°F and 104°F, so a long soak on a cold night stays warm.
The shell is 100% acrylic, built for two people and, Empava says, made not to crack, scratch, chip or tip even under heavy use. The tub-mounted faucet has a self-cleaning system and a multi-function hand shower. The tub needs two separate 110/120V 15A plugs and weighs 229 lbs empty.
Planning Around a 71.7" x 47.6" Footprint
Plan for an overall size of 71.7" L x 47.6" W x 26" H; empty, it weighs 229 lbs. It holds 120 gallons at a 16.46" soaking depth. The drain is in the center. 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, two separate dedicated grounded 15A outlets.
Choosing Within Empava's PRO Heated Tub Range
If you are weighing options within Empava's PRO heated tub range, the models closest in nominal size are the EMPV-71PRO01, the EMPV-71PRO02 and the EMPV-71PRO05. Each is listed with its own photos, specifications and documents, so you can compare size, capacity, jets and drain position against this model.
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-71PRO04 is an Empava 71" alcove combination massage tub with 16 water jets, 19 air jets, a heater and 120 gallons of water.

What's Included
Installation & Care
Installation
Alcove or corner install, center drain; overall 71.7" L x 47.6" W x 26" H, 229 lbs empty and 120 gallons full. The faucet is tub-mounted. 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. 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 rating below 15mA), installed by a licensed electrician. 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. 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.
