It's a common and good question we get asked a lot at Luna Spas: 'Can you use bath salts in whirlpool tubs?' The good news is, yes, you absolutely can! Adding products like pink Himalayan salts, Epsom salts, and Dead Sea salts to your luxury whirlpool bath is a fantastic way to enhance your relaxation and elevate your hydrotherapy experience. These natural salts can offer incredible benefits for skin health, anxiety relief, and soothing joint pain. If you are considering a whirlpool bath why not explore our full range of baths designed for ultimate relaxation, the best place to start is here with our Ultimate Guide to Whirlpool Baths.

Any of the salts mentioned above are an added bonus and can provide relief for skin problems, anxiety and joint pain.

Avoid carrier oils

While bath salts are a great addition to whirlpool baths, it's very important not to use any that come with carrier oils.

Carrier oils are often used with essential oils in order to help disperse the oil around a bath evenly. While essential oils (like rose, cedarwood or turmeric) will evaporate with no problem, essential oils are a little thicker will usually leave a kind of film. Over time, the film can build up and lead to blockages or other problems with the body jets in your whirlpool bath. The impact of the jets will get less and less and the build up of oil could lead to more serious problems for the internals of your bath.

Carrier oils to avoid are jojoba oil, lanolin oil and almond oil.

Over time, the film can build up and lead to blockages or other problems with the body jets in your whirlpool bath. The impact of the jets will get less and less and the build up of oil could lead to more serious problems for the internals of your bath.

Avoid bubble bath

Adding bubbles to a regular bath is lovely as it adds a nice texture and feeling of movement to an otherwise still bath. However, it is not necessary to add this feeling to a whirlpool tub as they are already designed with movement and bubbling of the water in mind.

Adding bubble bath to a whirlpool bath will create an awful amount of suds every time you switch on your jets. This can easily overflow onto the floor and create a mess that is time-consuming to clear up. More seriously, the bubble bath solution could start circulating around your whirlpool bath and continue to bubble up upon future uses. This can become very annoying and is difficult to get rid of.

Adding bubble bath to a whirlpool bath will create an awful amount of suds every time you switch on your jets... So, in conclusion - bath salts are a great way to increase your spa bath enjoyment. Carrier oils and traditional bubble bath are not and should be avoided. For safe, effective bath enhancements, explore our range of Whirlpool Bath Accessories.

So, in conclusion - bath salts are a great way to increase your spa bath enjoyment. Carrier oils and bubble bath are not and should be avoided.
