ABSTRACT:
The invention is concerned with a bathtub having a bottom wall, a pair of sidewalls and opposed first and second end walls integrally formed with the bottom wall, the second end wall being angularly inclined outwardly to define an abutment surface against which a person lying in the tub may rest, and water inlet means for filling the tub with a mixture of hot and cold water. According to the invention, the water inlet means extends through one of the sidewalls and is adapted to discharge a flow of hot and cold water along the one sidewall in a direction towards the second end wall so as to impart to the water a circulatory movement as it fills the tub and to thereby uniformly mix the hot and cold water and provide a uniform water mixture having a substantially constant temperature.
