Knowing the Types of Whirlpool Baths
|
There are different types of whirlpool baths. If you have been thinking of purchasing one, it is best to first know about these types so you can determine which one really suits your needs, taste, and even budget. In this article, you will have a better understanding of the various types of whirlpools.
Basically, whirlpool bathtubs are classified into three kinds: hydrotherapy, thermal air, and the combination of both.
Hydrotherapy
The hydrotherapy whirlpool is the traditional type of whirlpool. This may be the one you are familiar with. This style of bath has a pump, which propels water out from several jets (usually between 6 and 8). This type is a wonderful choice if you are after a very relaxing bath that focuses on soothing tired muscles, lowering down the blood pressure, and relieving overall stress. However, if you or any of the family members, including children, have any medical conditions, using this bath may not be appropriate. The pressure from the jets is rather powerful and may affect you in a bit of a negative way. But of course, you can always run the bath without turning the jet functions on.
Thermal Air
Thermal whirlpool baths are units that are controlled by heated and pressurized air bubbles. When the function is turned on, the bubbles are dispersed evenly over the whole body of the user. There is a thermostat controller in the tub so you can easily control the temperature of the heated bubbles. Some people like their bubble baths hot especially during winter, while some choose a cooler temperature especially when they need some awakening . Anyway, whatever your mood is, you can surely find satisfaction in the foamy warm bubbles of the bath.
The excellent thing about a thermal air whirlpool is it can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. Since the pressure from the bubbles is rather mild, they can be fit and even relaxing to children. However, if you have very young kids, you should definitely not let them to use the bath on their own. Make sure that if you can t get into the bath with them, at least closely supervise them at all times.
Hydrotherapy and Thermal Air Combination
As you already have knowledge of both whirlpool types, you may now have an idea of what their combination would be like. A hydrotherapy and thermal air bath is an ideal bath for the whole family because it gives you both the benefits of pressured jetted water and warm bubble bath. Whether it is you, your spouse, or your children that are taking a bath, you can pick between the two functions to guarantee a rejuvenating bathing experience.
However, as you are getting both the terrific features in one bath, you should expect that it has to come for quite a price. It would be safe to almost count as if you are buying two whirlpool baths, although it could be cheaper. Besides, you may come across great promos online which could help cutback on the expense. |
