Selecting a whirlpool bath is an investment in your home and well-being. This guide will help you understand the key components that separate a quality bath from the rest, ensuring you enjoy a reliable, luxurious experience for years to come.

The Importance of a Strong Shell and Quality Materials

The bath shell is the foundation of your whirlpool system. Look for tubs made from high-grade acrylic, such as Lucite® or Carronite™. These materials are renowned for their strength, durability, and a beautiful, glossy finish that resists discolouration and scratches. Unlike cheaper alternatives, a well-constructed acrylic shell provides excellent thermal properties, keeping your bath water warmer for longer.

Understanding the Pump and System Performance

The heart of any whirlpool bath is its pump. A high-quality pump should offer a powerful yet quiet operation. When choosing, consider the number of jets and the system type (whirlpool, air spa, or hybrid). A reliable pump from a leading manufacturer will provide a consistent, therapeutic massage without excessive noise. Modern systems, like ours include features like variable speed control for a customisable experience.

Focus on Hygiene and a Fully Draining System

Hygiene is paramount. A key feature to look for is a "fully draining" system. This innovative design ensures that all water is evacuated from the pipework and jets after each use. This prevents stagnant water from collecting, which can lead to bacterial build-up and unpleasant odours. A fully draining system dramatically reduces maintenance and ensures a clean, sanitary bath every time. Learn more about this crucial feature in our guide to fully-draining systems.

The Quality of Jets and Fittings

The jets and other fittings are where the luxury meets the user. High-quality jets are often adjustable, allowing you to direct the water flow for a targeted massage. Look for solid brass or durable ABS fittings with a chrome or high-grade finish that will not peel or tarnish over time. The quality of these components ensures both the aesthetic appeal and long-term functionality of your bath.
