I don’t feel that should be a problem, yes, the floor joists are angled in a way for a certain sized tub.
I entirely want to change my normal tub with a deep soaking one; I also want to have jets with it; My husband has informed me that no way can this is not possible. I have a big family powder room. I am not afraid to mess around with the configuration. If a closet needs to be unattached or a vanity shortened, so be it. My husband says that the floor joists won’t support such a heavy tub, also, the plumbing would be too difficult, but thankfully there is a local plumber who I have used time as well as time again, but he has helped me with all sorts of concerns like drain line service, gas line repair as well as septic systems being pumped. I am confident he can handle my tub issue. I don’t entirely know what the difference would be with a deep soaking. It still would drain water like a normal tub. I guess the jets might affect the plumbing a bit? The weight of the tub is much more as well as it is a bit broader. I don’t feel that should be a problem, yes, the floor joists are angled in a way for a certain sized tub. I feel by calling a handyman as well as coordinating with the local plumber, something can be done about this. I entirely like the idea of using my normal bathtub like a tepid tub. I want to be able to relax on colder afternoons with a book. It would be much cheaper than a tepid tub as well as I feel I would use it more if it was inside of my home.
