why it won't take all the water out of the tub

I hate to answer a question with a question, but how much water is typically left in the tub?

It should remove all the water from the tub, however you need to install a check valve in the discharge line. The water is flowing up so it must have a check valve is to prevent the water from flowing back into the tub.

The water doesn't "go" anywhere it needs to be changed periodically to prevent the water from growing mold or bacteria.

I purchased one that hangs on the side of the tub for my mother and this one has more dispersed bubbles than her model. However, if your tub isn't very large the bubbles may spray onto the floor. If your floor is carpet, that could be an issue. I have a garden tub and the bubbles don't get the tile floor wet. I love this model. Works better than my Mom's on the side model.

I have not had this happen as I have a deep basin birdbath so there has always been enough water to cover the pump. In 1 sunny afternoon, it will empty the bath to a couple of inches. Once the water level goes down, less water is being shot out of the bath. I have had to replace water on a daily basis during a sunny stretch with no rain in forecast.

I just make sure the curtain is inside the tub, and the part over the seat is folded so water stays inside. There is a channel built around the seat with drain holes that directs back into the tub. No problem with the water getting on the floor.

I also have a 4 bed 3 bath (no soak tub). The filter system seems to handle all of us We did notice a decrease in water pressure so we shift showers You may need to check your filters a little sooner if you are using one of those swimming pool tubs. There is a range on the filter use so you will get guidance. Hope this helps some.

It does not fit in the tub. The legs are too wide for a standard tub. It's meant to be used outside or in a walk in shower, I think.

You might not have filled it enough. It won't work if there's not enough water

Mary, when attached to the tub the device covers the bathtub overflow drain which lets you put 3 to 4 inches more water in the tub for a deeper bath. The device has a drain hole its top to prevent overflows. If you like soaking in the tub you'll like this little thing.

It has slats that water goes through, not grooves that hold the excess water.

It will not pump with out the vent. I made my vent higher than the tub in case the pump malfuncions the tub would have to be full before it overlows

The plug is actually elevated so the water does drain out on its own without being tipped. Ive found that a little of the water does stay behind and you will have to tip it to get that last little bit of water out. Overall, the drain works really good without tipping the tub

It has holes in it to let the water run out, so it needs to be in a tub or a large non-devided sink.

As the water decreases, so does the pressure to push it out. The solution is to pump it up a little bit more to get the water out. On my hike, I was able to get almost all the water out with the air pressure.

I usually have the tub about half full then get in and attach. Are you firmly pressing each little suction cup? Seems to me that some cups are submerged and some are still out of the water when I do it. Perhaps a quick wipe of the area with plain vinegar to get rid of any old oil or soap scum might help. I love the thing!

If you are saying that the drain in the bottom of your tub is stuck open then no, it won't help you. This product is not the solid dome that it might appear to be, it actually has a hole cut in the side so when the water reaches that level it will still allow it to drain out; all it does is allow you to raise the level above the existing drain level. Sorry, good luck with your problem.

It doesn't hold very much water. You would not see a change in the water level of the pool.
