If you cannot go to a spa every week and you wish to relax both your body and mind, opt for the whirlpool bath. The benefits are proven; hydromassage is a water-based massage technique practiced in thermal resorts and thalassotherapy centers. Indeed, the therapeutic benefits of hydromassage are numerous: it reduces stress and hypertension and acts on joint or muscle pain and tension. Whether you take a tonic bath or a relaxing bath, depending on the number and power of the jets in your jacuzzi bathtub, you will experience an incomparable sense of well-being.
The whirlpool bathtub is a true well-being equipment that must be chosen carefully. There are 3 different massage systems: the compressed air system, the air/water system, and the mixed system that combines air/water + air. You will therefore have to choose the type of massage most suited to your needs.
- The Air massage for a relaxing bath. Thanks to the compressed air system propelled by injectors distributed throughout the bathtub, you have the sensation of floating in the water, the massages are gentle and soothing. Your muscles are relaxed, and your legs are drained.
- The Air/Water massage for a toning bath. This system has the peculiarity of sending water under pressure thanks to air propelled by a powerful pump. The massage is therefore carried out by the propulsion of lateral water jets pushed by the air. The nozzles of the water jets are often adjustable to suit everyone's needs. Your skin is firmed, more toned. This type of massage improves blood circulation and reduces fatigue.
- The mixed Air/Water + Air massage for a vivifying and relaxing bath. This is the most complete system that combines the benefits of air massage and those of water massage propelled by air. You enjoy a tonic bath thanks to the lateral water jets pushed by the air and a relaxing bath thanks to the air injectors placed at the bottom and on the back of the bathtub. This type of whirlpool bath therefore provides twice as much well-being.
In any case, the quality of the massage depends on the arrangement and number of nozzles or diffusers included in your bathtub. These should be able to evenly massage your body.
Other choice criteria must be taken into consideration. Indeed, the power of the pump or the air booster is essential to obtain an effective massage. It is not the number of nozzles or injectors that matters but the power of the propulsion system relative to the number of nozzles or injectors.
Moreover, the whirlpool bathtub is generally particularly aesthetic. This is an important criterion since you can prefer a rectangular, asymmetrical, corner, or even a whirlpool bath/shower combination. The corner whirlpool bath allows for more aesthetic possibilities.
And finally, many whirlpool bathtub models have options such as light shows, water heating, or even built-in radio. Something to satisfy everyone in the choice of an affordable bathtub.
The installation of your whirlpool bathtub is similar to the installation of a classic bathtub. Simply ensure you can easily connect your bathtub to electricity.
