Mesa Steam Shower Tub Combo

These are Mesa's steam shower tub combos — full steam cabins with an integrated whirlpool bath in one footprint: the WS-501 Yukon, WS-608, WS-609, WS-701A, WS-702A, WS-807A, and the handed WS-905. A few standalone Mesa jetted tubs (the Monterey freestanding, the BT-084 corner, and the BT-150150 two-person) round out the page for anyone who wants the soak without the steam cabin. Want steam without a tub? See the full Mesa steam shower lineup, or compare combos across every brand on the steam shower tub combo collection.

What a Mesa Combo Actually Is

A Mesa steam shower tub combo packs three fixtures into one prefab unit: a jetted bathtub, a shower with rainhead and handheld, and a steam session. The cabin is tempered glass around an acrylic tub, with a built-in steam generator (3kW on every model except the 4kW WS-701A). You soak in the tub, drain it, stand up, switch the control panel to steam, and the generator fills the cabin with wet heat. Rinse cold from the handheld. Footprints on this page run from 48" x 48" (WS-609) to 66" x 66" (WS-701A), and the rectangular WS-501 and WS-905 (60" x 33") are close to the length of a standard 60" bathtub.

A combo removes the choice between a tub and a shower. If you're remodeling a master bath and want a soak AND a steam session without running two separate plumbing installs and two separate drains, this is the category. If you've got a big bathroom with room for a freestanding tub on one wall and a walk-in steam shower on another, separate units might still win — a combo is a space-saver first.

The Mesa Combo Lineup

Every combo on this page is built by Mesa and runs the same core: a 3kW steam generator (4kW on the WS-701A, per its manual), tempered glass, body jets, and a rainfall showerhead with a handheld shower. Aromatherapy and lighting vary by model. What changes between models is the tub, the footprint, the glass tint, and on one model, the handed orientation.

Mesa WS-501 Yukon: A 60" x 33" rectangular combo with 6 acupuncture body jets, 6 whirlpool tub jets and 3kW steam, in a gray or white finish — see the WS-501 Yukon product page for the full spec sheet.
Mesa WS-608A / WS-608P: A 63" x 63" corner combo with 10 acupuncture body jets, 10 whirlpool jets, a 65-gallon tub, a foot massager and 3kW steam. 608A ships with clear glass, 608P with blue-tinted glass — same specs otherwise.
Mesa WS-609A / WS-609P: A 48" x 48" corner combo, the most compact corner combo here, running 2 acupuncture body jets plus 6 tub jets on the 3kW steam system. 609A clear glass, 609P blue.
Mesa WS-701A: The largest combo on this page — a 66" x 66" neo-angle corner unit (801 lb) with a 4kW steam generator, 12 acupuncture body jets, 6 whirlpool jets and a 70-gallon tub.
Mesa WS-702A: A 61" x 61" neo-angle corner combo, designed to replace a garden-style corner tub, with 6 acupuncture body jets, 6 hydro-massage tub jets and 3kW steam.
Mesa WS-807A: A 67" x 35" rectangular combo, the longest on this page, with 6 body massage jets, 6 tub jets, a foot massager and 3kW steam.
Mesa WS-905: The only combo on this page that ships in a handed left-or-right configuration. It's a 60" x 33" rectangular unit that also lists aromatherapy and a foot massager. Pick based on which side your plumbing supply and drain sit on.

The tub, layout, glass tint, and footprint are what differ between them. The steam generator, jets and showerheads are common to every combo; check the product page for aromatherapy and lighting. For the full WS catalog, the steam-only corner and walk-in units live on the parent Mesa steam shower collection. Among the combos, aromatherapy is listed only on the WS-905, and a foot massager on the WS-608, WS-701A, WS-702A, WS-807A and WS-905.

Combos vs the Standalone Tubs on This Page

A few products here aren't steam cabins at all — they're Mesa's standalone jetted tubs. The Monterey BT-0502 freestanding tub is a 71" x 60" x 28" tub with dual air and whirlpool systems, 12 whirlpool jets and 20 body jets. The BT-084 corner tub seats two and runs both air and whirlpool jets. The BT-150150 is a side-by-side two-person whirlpool. None of these include a steam cabin — they're here for buyers who want the jetted soak and already have a separate shower. If steam is the whole point, stick with the WS combos above. If you just want a high-end jetted bath, these are the standalone option.

Whirlpool Jets vs Air Jets

Mesa tubs on this page use two jet systems, and they feel genuinely different:

Whirlpool (water) jets pump the tub water through a pump and back out through wall-mounted nozzles. The flow is focused and massaging, with adjustable pressure — the classic jetted-tub feel. Every WS steam combo on this page uses whirlpool jets in the tub (6 on most models, 10 on the WS-608), with separate acupuncture body jets in the shower wall (from 2 on the WS-609 to 12 on the WS-701A).

Air jets push pressurized air through pinhole outlets in the tub floor and sides. The result is finer, bubblier, more diffuse — closer to a champagne soak than a pressure massage. On this page, air jets appear on the standalone tubs: the BT-084 corner tub combines 8 whirlpool and 8 air jets, and the BT-150150 and Monterey BT-0502 also pair an air system with whirlpool jets.

If you want a steam cabin, the tub will be whirlpool; if you want an air-jet soak without steam, look at the standalone tubs. Confirm the exact jet count and system on each product page before ordering.

Configurations: Corner, Walk-In, Left vs Right

Four of the WS combos have a square footprint that tucks into a 90-degree bathroom corner: the WS-609 (48" x 48"), WS-702A (61" x 61"), WS-608 (63" x 63") and WS-701A (66" x 66"); the WS-702A and WS-701A are neo-angle designs. Three are rectangular and sit along one wall: the WS-501 and WS-905 (60" x 33") and the WS-807A (67" x 35").

Handed orientation matters on the WS-905 specifically. "Left" or "right" refers to which side the plumbing supplies and drain sit on when you face the unit. Match the orientation to your existing bathroom plumbing before you order — swapping handedness after the unit arrives isn't practical. The other combos are either symmetric or ship in a single configuration.

Plumbing and Drains

A combo connects to the same services as a steam shower: a hot and a cold supply and a drain. Mesa's tub-combo spec sheets list 1/2" hot and cold connections and a 1-1/2" drain intake, and Mesa includes a pre-cut drain with a 1-1/2" flexible drain hose. On the WS-609, for example, the water-connection diagram runs the hot and cold supplies through one mixing switch that feeds the overhead shower, the hand shower and the tub spout. Supply positions and water pressure are in each model's installation manual, and the spec sheet shows where the connections sit.

If you're converting a bathroom that already had a separate tub and shower, the rough-in is often close to where you need it. New construction is more involved.

Electrical Requirements

Every Mesa combo here is listed at 220V, and Mesa's tub-combo spec sheets call for two dedicated circuits rather than one, each with the ground-fault or leakage protection its manual specifies. Breaker size, conductor size and circuit configuration must be taken from the installation manual for the specific model — two units with the same kW rating can have different requirements. Each Topture product page links the manufacturer's installation guide and spec sheet, and a licensed electrician should install the circuits; requirements also vary by local code.

Who a Combo Is For

A Mesa combo makes sense if you're remodeling a master bath and want both a soak and a steam session without doubling up the plumbing rough-in, or if space is tight — a 60-ish-inch combo replaces a separate tub-plus-shower layout that would otherwise need 90"+ of wall. It's also the move if you want steam, body jets, a jetted tub and rainfall and handheld showers in a single install instead of buying and plumbing separate fixtures.

It's probably not the right call if you have a large bathroom with room for a freestanding tub on one wall and a separate walk-in steam shower on another — two dedicated units give you more flexibility in layout. In that case, pair a standalone unit from the steam shower category hub with one of the jetted tubs on this page, or look at the rectangular steam shower lineup if you want a flat-wall walk-in.

Installation and Assembly

Combos are more involved to install than straight steam showers: they are larger and heavier (the WS-701A lists 801 lb), and Mesa's tub-combo spec sheets call for two dedicated circuits. Mesa states that its warranty requires installation by a licensed plumber and electrician.

The unit arrives as components for assembly in the bathroom; Mesa lists adult assembly as required, and the mounting hardware ships with the unit. These units are self-contained enclosures, so they do not require the same custom steam-room waterproofing system as a site-built tiled steam room; follow the installation manual, local plumbing and electrical code, and the floor and subfloor requirements, including a level floor that can carry the unit's weight.

How to Pick a Mesa Combo

Start with footprint. Square corner (WS-609, WS-702A, WS-608 or the larger WS-701A) or rectangular along one wall (WS-501, WS-905, WS-807A). Then compare jet counts on the product pages — every WS combo uses whirlpool jets in the tub, and the WS-701A has the 4kW generator. Then handed orientation if you're looking at the WS-905. Then glass tint, clear or blue, on the 608 and 609. The steam generator, body jets and rainhead come standard; aromatherapy and lighting vary, so check the product page. Beyond that, the decision is really about size and tub feel.

If Mesa's combo lineup doesn't match your space, the broader steam shower tub combo collection covers combos from Mesa and Ariel Platinum, and the full Mesa steam shower collection covers every steam-only configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do the steam and tub functions work together in a Mesa combo?

They run from a shared control panel. You bathe in the jetted tub, drain it, close the door and switch to steam mode; with the steam off, the rainfall head and handheld shower work like a normal shower. You set the steam temperature and timer on the panel; Mesa's manuals list temperature settings up to 140°F (60°C).

What plumbing does a Mesa steam shower tub combo require?

A hot and a cold supply and a drain, like a steam shower. Mesa's tub-combo spec sheets list 1/2" hot and cold connections and a 1-1/2" drain intake, and Mesa includes a pre-cut drain with a 1-1/2" flexible drain hose. Supply positions and the water-pressure requirement are in each model's installation manual; a licensed plumber should make the connections to local plumbing code.

What electrical does a Mesa combo need?

Every Mesa combo here is listed at 220V, and Mesa's tub-combo spec sheets call for two dedicated circuits rather than one, each with the ground-fault or leakage protection its manual specifies. Breaker size, conductor size and circuit configuration must be taken from the installation manual for the specific model; two units with the same kW rating can have different requirements. A licensed electrician should install the circuits.

Whirlpool jets or air jets — which does the tub use?

Every WS steam combo on this page uses whirlpool (water) jets in the tub — 6 on most models and 10 on the WS-608 — with separate acupuncture body jets in the shower wall, from 2 on the WS-609 to 12 on the WS-701A. Air jets appear on the standalone tubs: the BT-084 corner tub combines 8 whirlpool and 8 air jets. Check the product page to confirm.

How much space does a Mesa combo need?

Depends on the model. The rectangular WS-501 and WS-905 are 60" x 33" and the WS-807A is 67" x 35". The corner combos are square: the WS-609 is 48" x 48", the WS-702A 61" x 61", the WS-608 63" x 63" and the WS-701A, the largest, 66" x 66". Units stand 85" to 89" tall, and most product pages add 2" for the ventilation exhaust pipe. Exact dimensions are on each product page.

Which Mesa combo has left-hand and right-hand configurations?

The Mesa WS-905 ships in left-hand or right-hand configuration — referring to which side the plumbing supplies and drain sit on. Match it to your bathroom's existing plumbing before ordering. The other combos (WS-501, WS-608, WS-609, WS-701, WS-702, WS-807) are either symmetric or ship in one configuration.

Can I use the steam function without filling the tub?

Yes. Steam is a separate function on the control panel, so you can run a steam session with the tub empty and fill the tub only when you want a bath.

What's the difference between the WS combos and the standalone tubs on this page?

The WS models (WS-501, WS-608, WS-609, WS-701, WS-702, WS-807, WS-905) are full steam shower cabins with an integrated jetted tub. The BT models — the Monterey BT-0502 freestanding tub, the BT-084 corner tub, and the BT-150150 two-person whirlpool — are standalone jetted bathtubs with no steam cabin. Choose a WS combo for steam and shower with the soak; choose a BT tub if you already have a shower and just want a jetted bath.

How long does a Mesa steam session last?

You set the session length on the control panel's timer; Mesa's manuals list a 45-minute default on several models, and the cycle can be restarted for a longer session.
