Whirlpool Tubs
Jetted Bathtubs
Whirlpool tubs, also known as jetted tubs, are essentially bathtubs that
feature a number of therapeutic jets positioned around the sides of the
tub. A combination of air and water, or air alone, is forced through
the jets and produces a massaging action. There are usually four to
eight jets in a whirlpool tub, and they are often positioned to target
certain areas of the body such as the neck, back, and arms. Smaller
jets may be positioned in areas that target more sensitive parts of the
body, like feet. The jets are normally able to open, close, and
swivel, allowing the user to adjust pressure and flow.
Whirlpool tubs are widely recognized for the health benefits of their
hydrotherapy action, including muscle relaxation, improved blood
circulation, and increased skin oxygenation. After a long day
at work — or working out — a whirlpool bath can be an ideal
solution to relieve tense and aching muscles! However, these tubs
may not be suitable for the elderly, young children, and people with
certain medical conditions.
Whirlpool tubs are a popular upgrade when remodeling a master bathroom, and they come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. You can even slide some of them right into your existing tub alcove. Others are made for corners; still others are made to be dropped into decking. In contrast to spas and hot tubs, which are designed to retain their water between uses, a whirlpool tub must be filled and drained with each use.
Whirlpools vary in size, holding anywhere from 25 to 150 gallons of
water. In addition to safety features like built-in grab bars and
slip-resistant floors, whirlpools come with a whole host of feature
options, such as underwater lighting and integrated stereo systems.
Whirlpool bathtubs range in price from affordable to extravagant, based
upon their size, features, and options.
When installing a whirlpool tub, be sure that the floor can support the extra weight of a full tub, provide service access to the tub water pump, and make sure that the hot water supply is sufficient to handle the tub's requirements.
