Choosing a Spa Whirlpool Bath ? What You Need to Know
A Whirlpool bathtub has always been a much-coveted item in the bathroom, and today's modern, sleek and feature-rich Whirlpools make it even more appealing to install one in your home. Whirlpools have experienced a boom in popularity recently as more and more people become aware of their many benefits related to health and general wellbeing.
But there are some things to bear in mind before rushing out to buy yourself a spa or whirlpool bath?for your home, to make sure you get the most from it, and avoid any problems.
Considering what will fit
If you're planning to install the Whirlpool?in an existing bathroom, then it's essential to take careful measurements of the space available, to see what will actually fit. You?ll also need to consider the various shapes available, including corner-mounted models, to see which will fit best. And decide if having a two-person model is important. If you're building a new house then you can pretty much decide on the Whirlpool and build the bathroom around it, which can be much easier overall.
Choosing traditional or super modern
After considering size, you?ll be faced with choosing from the various styles, shapes, designs and materials of the Whirlpool, which offers plenty of scope for blending with existing d?cor or as a base theme for your new bathroom. There is no shortage of colours, nor choices of traditional or super-sleek modern tubs to choose from. As for material, acrylic remains incredibly popular for its light weight and superb durability. Available in classic rounded and oval shapes to modern clean-lined models, they provide plenty of options for making a design statement in your bathroom.
Preparing for installation
When you're budgeting for a Whirlpool bath, make sure to include the cost of installation. Plumbing and electricity supplies must be installed by a qualified electrician and plumber in line with current regulations, and it's a good idea to consult an expert before making your final purchasing decision to ensure that your existing bathroom installations can handle the requirements of the new tub.
Personalising your bathing experience
Many, but not all, Whirlpool baths come with the option of additional features which can really transform your bathing experience. It's worth considering if such features are important to you before making a final decision. Expect to choose from chromotherapy lighting, grab handles, arm rests and headrests, radio, water massage jets, air spa jets, handheld shower attachments, waterfalls, water heater, automatic water-level sensors, and thermostatic taps.
If your budget can handle it ? go for the works; after all, it's not only an investment in your home, but also an investment in your own health and wellbeing, and certainly something you?ll enjoy for many years to come.
