Questions to Ask about Whirlpool Baths
As with all of your other purchases you should ask a host of questions before you make a decision on what to buy. When you are shopping for a whirlpool bath, you must know some of the features that you want, what you can afford, and if you have enough room in your bathroom for it to fit nicely. Study some of the questions below to prepare for your purchase of a new whirlpool bath.
- First you should determine if a Whirlpool bath will work in the space you have in your bathroom. Take accurate measurements; then begin to shop for the bath that fits the space you have. You should also think about the path that the whirlpool bath will take when it's delivered to your house. Will it fit through the door openings? Can you turn it in the stairwell and still have enough space without damaging it or your home? Are your halls large enough to allow the bathtub to pass through with room to spare? It's important that you consider all of these areas as you try to find the spa bath that'suits your needs.
- If you are purchasing your whirlpool bath for health benefits, be sure to ask us about some of the health advantages of using your whirlpool bath. Soaking in your whirlpool bath can help with problems associated with arthrit's, aches and pains from standing on your feet all day, or overexertion, and this type of bath can alleviate stress and help eliminate migraines and circulation problems.
- How many jets come in the whirlpool that you like and can they be repositioned to reach your back and other stress points on your body? This will be important because you will want to get the maximum health benefits from your whirlpool and the number of jets and their placement is an important part of the hydrotherapy experience.
- How much can you expect to pay for running your whirlpool bath? Electricity costs will normally be approximately 3 pence each hour to operate a whirlpool. When you use the jets in your bath they tend to make the water feel warmer and the material of the bath can also keep the water warmer longer. This will help to cut down on the amount of hot water that you use in your bath.
You should also enquire about the warranty that comes with your purchase of a whirlpool bath. Ask about parts as well as labour and the timeframe that your warranty covers. We also offer extended warranties that can protect your investment for a longer period of time. Taking proper care of your whirlpool, keeping it maintained, and reading your warranty when you first buy your bath can help you to protect your tub and get many good years of use from it without costly repairs.
