Hi-Boy Hydrotherapy Whirlpool Tubs for Clinical Immersion

Hi-boy hydrotherapy whirlpool tubs are deep, high sided stainless tanks that let a seated patient immerse the hips, back, trunk or shoulders rather than a single extremity. Physical therapy clinics, hospital rehabilitation departments, outpatient centers and athletic training facilities use them where a partial body immersion program is run in a dedicated wet room. MSEC carries hi-boy tubs in four capacities, each offered in both a mobile and a stationary configuration.

Which Hi-Boy Whirlpool Tubs Are in the MSEC Catalog?

Eight hi-boy models are listed, and they form a clean grid: four capacities, each built in both a mobile and a stationary configuration. Every figure below comes from the product name as the manufacturer states it.

Capacity	Mobile configuration	Stationary configuration
60 gallon	60 Gallon Mobile Hi-Boy Whirlpool	60 Gallon Stationary Hi-Boy Whirlpool
75 gallon	75 Gallon Mobile Hi-Boy Whirlpool	75 Gallon Stationary Hi-Boy Whirlpool
90 gallon	90 Gallon Mobile Hi-Boy Whirlpool	90 Gallon Stationary Hi-Boy Whirlpool
105 gallon	105 Gallon Mobile Hi-Boy Whirlpool	105 Gallon Stationary Hi-Boy Whirlpool

Capacity is the only figure the product names carry. Tank dimensions, rim height, turbine specification, electrical requirement and drain arrangement are not in the listing, and we will pull each from the manufacturer documentation before you order. See the Hydrotherapy Whirlpool Tubs line for the other tank styles and the Rehabilitation Equipment & Products hub for the wider catalog.

What Makes a Tub a Hi-Boy Rather Than Another Tank Style?

The hi-boy is defined by tank depth and wall height. It is built tall so that a seated patient can be immersed to the trunk, which is the treatment position a shallower tank cannot produce no matter how much water it holds.

That single design decision is what separates it from the neighboring styles. A lo-boy tank sits lower, which changes how the patient enters and how the clinician reaches into the water. A slant back tank angles one wall to support a reclined position. A sports tank is proportioned for a different immersion posture again, and an extremity tank is sized for a foot, an ankle or an arm rather than a body.

Height brings a second consequence a facility has to plan for: entry. A tall tank is climbed into or entered with assistance, and the room has to allow for that approach and for a clinician working at rim height. Where entry is the constraint rather than the immersion depth, a Hydrolift Hydrotherapy Whirlpools system addresses it differently.

What Does the Gallon Capacity Change From 60 Up to 105?

Capacity sets the water volume, and water volume drives almost every operational number in the room. The four steps in this catalog, 60, 75, 90 and 105 gallon, are not just sizes on a page.

Fill and drain time. A larger tank takes longer to fill and longer to drain, and both sit inside the turnaround between patients. That is a scheduling figure, not a plumbing detail.
Water consumption and heating load. Every session at 105 gallon draws more than every session at 60 gallon, across a full clinic day and a full year.
Loaded weight on the floor. A filled tank plus the patient is a concentrated load. Confirm the tank’s empty weight and the filled figure with us, then take both to your facilities team.
Immersion coverage. The larger tanks hold more water at the same rim, which is what a program immersing the trunk or shoulders is buying.
Footprint. Capacity and floor area move together, and the dimensions are not in the product names. Confirm them before you commit a room.

Which capacity a program needs is a caseload and room question. The hydrotherapy rehabilitation tubs clinical guide works through that decision.

Mobile or Stationary: Which Configuration Does the Room Support?

Every hi-boy capacity in this catalog is offered both ways, so the configuration is a room decision rather than a compromise on size. A facility never has to drop from 105 gallon to 90 gallon to get casters.

A mobile hi-boy is specified where the tub has to move: a room shared between programs, a tub rolled to a drain rather than plumbed to one, a floor plan that is still settling, or a leased suite where nothing is being plumbed in permanently. Confirm the caster specification, whether the casters lock, and the floor surface they will run on. A loaded tank on casters behaves differently from an empty one, and the practical question is whether the tub is ever moved while it holds water. Confirm that with the manufacturer before assuming either way.

A stationary hi-boy is specified where the wet room is permanent and the tub is positioned once. Nothing rolls, the tank sits where the drain and the supply are, and the floor loading is planned around a fixed position. For a program that has a dedicated hydrotherapy room, stationary is usually the simpler answer.

What Does a Hi-Boy Whirlpool Need From the Room's Water, Drainage and Power?

It needs a hot and cold supply it can fill from, a drain it can empty to, a receptacle for the turbine, and a floor built for the loaded weight. Those four are settled with facilities before the order, not after delivery.

Water supply. Confirm the fill arrangement for the configuration you are buying, and confirm the supply pressure and temperature available at that wall with your building team.
Drainage. Confirm the drain arrangement on the specification and how it reaches the building drain. A mobile tub rolled to a drain and a stationary tub plumbed to one are different installations.
Electrical. Confirm the manufacturer’s stated electrical requirement for the turbine, the receptacle location and whether the cord routing crosses a wet floor or a walking path.
Floor loading and surface. Confirm the filled weight with us and take it to facilities alongside the footprint, and confirm the floor finish suits a wet room.
Clearance. Allow working space on the sides a clinician uses and a clear approach for the patient, not just the tank footprint.

What Should You Confirm on the Specification Sheet Before Ordering a Hi-Boy Whirlpool?

Confirm everything the product name does not carry, which is everything except the capacity and the configuration. Work through the following before the purchase order is issued.

Tank dimensions and rim height. Interior and exterior, plus the height a patient has to clear at entry.
Empty and filled weight. Both figures, for freight and for floor loading.
Turbine specification. The stated output, mounting, and the adjustment range for agitation direction and depth.
Temperature monitoring. What is supplied with the tub and what is ordered separately.
Drain and overflow detail. Type, position and what connects to it.
Material and finish. The stainless specification and the finish on any welds and the rim.
Casters and locks. On mobile configurations, the caster size, type and locking arrangement.
Cleaning and disinfection. Confirm which agents the manufacturer allows on the tank, the turbine and the seals before you standardize a between patient protocol.
Crated dimensions, freight and lead time. Check the crate against door widths, corner turns and elevator openings on the actual delivery route, and name a receiving contact.

When Does a Facility Need a Different Whirlpool Style Instead?

Choose a different tank when the treatment position is not a seated trunk immersion. The line holds a style for each of the common alternatives, and buying across the boundary is the mistake that leaves a tub unused.

Foot, ankle, hand or arm work. A hi-boy is oversized for localized immersion. See Extremity Hydrotherapy Whirlpool Tubs.
Lower entry. See Lo-Boy Hydrotherapy Whirlpool Tubs.
A reclined, supported position. See Slant Back Hydrotherapy Whirlpool Tubs.
Athletic immersion programs. See Sports Hydrotherapy Whirlpool Tubs.
Podiatry practice. See Podiatry Hydrotherapy Whirlpool Tubs.
Patient transfer into the tank. See Hydrolift Hydrotherapy Whirlpools Tubs.

Seats, covers, agitation accessories and cleaning supplies sit in Hydrotherapy Whirlpool Tub Accessories, and most of those are worth ordering with the tub rather than after it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are all four hi-boy capacities available in both mobile and stationary?

Yes. The catalog lists 60, 75, 90 and 105 gallon hi-boy whirlpools, and each capacity is offered in both a mobile and a stationary configuration. That means a facility does not have to trade tank size against mobility. Choose the capacity the program needs, then choose the configuration the room supports, and confirm the dimensions and weights with us before the order goes in.

Does a mobile hi-boy still need a floor drain nearby?

It needs a route to a drain, and the practical question is how the tub empties and how far it travels to do it. Confirm the drain arrangement on the manufacturer specification for the configuration you are buying, then confirm with your facilities team where the tub will discharge. A mobile tub that has to cross a carpeted corridor to reach a drain is not a workable installation.

Can a stationary hi-boy be converted to a mobile one later?

Ask us before assuming it can. The two configurations are listed as separate models rather than as an option on one model, so the base arrangement is built as ordered. If there is any chance the tub will need to move within its working life, raise that at quote stage and we will confirm what the manufacturer offers for that capacity.

How long does a 105 gallon hi-boy take to fill?

That depends on the supply at your building rather than on the tub, so it is not a figure the listing can state. Fill time is a function of the flow and pressure available at the wall the tub fills from. Work it out with your facilities team using the tank capacity, then build the result into your turnaround between patients, since fill and drain both sit inside that window.

What accessories are usually ordered with a hi-boy tub?

Seats, covers, agitation accessories and cleaning supplies are the common additions, and they are easier to order with the tub than after it. See Hydrotherapy Whirlpool Tub Accessories for the range, and tell us the capacity and configuration you are ordering so we can confirm which items are listed for that model.

How does a hi-boy whirlpool ship, and what do we need at delivery?

It ships freight, and the crate is large. Confirm crated dimensions and weight with us, then check dock availability, liftgate need, door widths, corridor corner turns and elevator openings on the route the tub will actually take to the wet room. Name a receiving contact to inspect the crate against the packing list before the carrier leaves, and confirm who performs any setup on site.
