A Look at the Most Important ? and Interesting ? Features You can Expect with a Whirlpool Bath

There is no denying the fact that whirlpool baths are a big improvement over your standard built-in or alcove bath. With a whirlpool bath, you have water jets, for one ? but this is merely the tip of the iceberg. You can look forward to a whole range of features with the whirlpool baths on offer nowadays. Here are a few of the most important and interesting features you can expect with a modern whirlpool bath.

Water jets

All whirlpool baths have massage systems that are built in, made up of various water jets, which can be placed at different strategic locations for the ultimate water massage experience. The system works like this: water goes through a water pump and is then released through the water jets which line the whirlpool bath. Most whirlpool bath jets are placed at the sides, but some can be placed at the back and foot area as well. Another extra feature related to water jets is the adjustable or directional jet system. This is where you can actually adjust the intensity of the water flowing out of the jets or adjust their direction.

Thermostatic control

With most standard whirlpool baths available today, you can expect a very useful feature called ?thermostatic control.? This feature mixes the cold and hot water coming from the pipes to a specific, comfortable temperature once it is released into the bath. There is a special valve which regulates the temperature of the water, thus preventing potentially harmful temperature fluctuations which could result in scalding or other types of injuries. This feature is not only convenient ? it enhances your and your family?s safety as well.

Cleaning feature

Most whirlpool baths today also come with an advanced cleaning feature. This system automatically cleans the whirlpool bath?s pipes (specifically, the pipes which move the water around the bath). All you have to do to use this feature is unscrew the bath?s lid, pour in a cleaning liquid or solution, and run the cleaning feature.

Electronic circuit breakers

Electronic circuit breakers are undoubtedly a feature that can maximise your safety whilst using your whirlpool bath. The circuit breaker acts as a shield and protects the electrical components of the whirlpool bath in case water seeps into the system?s components.

Underwater lighting

One great extra feature of many whirlpool baths today is an underwater lighting feature, which is sure to delight young and old. This feature is obviously an aesthetic one, but it often serves to bring a warm and unique ambience to your bathroom whilst you are relaxing in the whirlpool bath. The colours of the lighting may vary from blue to green to red, but it can also be available in classic white.
