How do Whirlpool Baths work?

Whirlpool Baths Technical Matters

Quite simply water is taken from the bath through a suction fitting on the side of the bath and then re circulated back into the bath through a s number of venturi in the sides of the bath. As part of the process the water is speeded up as it goes through the venturi and creates a vacuum into which air is drawn. This powerful stream of aerated water is then directed back into the bath. Our Turbo Sensations is a true Turbo with its own compressor forcing air into the venturi to give added power and buoyancy in the bath. All acrylic whirlpool baths are supplied factory fitted and tested.

All that is usually required is for the plumber to install the bath as he would an ordinary bath and then a qualified electrician to make the final electrical connection via a fused spur on the 13 amp ring main!

Both our Micro-jets and our Advantage jets use third generation whirlpool technology. All jets are individually piped for air and water from a distribution manifold. This avoids any stress being placed on the bath and ensures that the jets are fitted in the right place for the customer without compromising the bath manufacturer's specification for positioning of the bath support legs.
