In modern homes, bathrooms with a hydromassage function are no longer a luxury for many. Every day, more and more lovers of water procedures decide to buy such plumbing for home use. In the article we will talk about the best hot tubs for 2022, about types, forms and functions.

A bit of history

Years have passed since the creation of the first hot tub, and the idea of ​​creating such a device belonged to the brothers from Italy. Their first invention was for a course of rehabilitation and effective treatment for a younger brother suffering from arthritis. Such procedures significantly facilitated the condition of the child.

Today, hydromassage baths are used in combination for the treatment and rehabilitation of a number of diseases, they serve to improve the general condition of a person, relieve stress, nervous tension and fatigue.

About baths

A hot tub is a luxurious sanitary ware for those who love long and relaxing water treatments. But before you decide to install it, you should know how they work, what type of massage they offer, and how to choose them correctly. The operation and installation of a hot tub is more expensive and more difficult than a regular bath. The simplest form of water massage is the regular shower, but there are many more options for bathing and soaking.

The basis of the therapeutic and relaxing effect of the jacuzzi on the human body is the temperature and pressure of the water. Both of these factors can be easily provided at home. It is enough to equip yourself with a suitable device - a bath with a hydromassage.

Prevention aimed at relieving the state of the overloaded muscular system and relaxation has a beneficial effect on the body of both healthy people and people suffering from various diseases (however, you should always consult a doctor or physiotherapist about the intensity of treatment and the type of massage). A pleasant massage and warm water bubbles all over the body provide relaxation.In a typical whirlpool bath, the nozzles are positioned at different angles, which provides a variety of water flows that, under high pressure, locally massage the body. Most often, the legs and lower spine are massaged, because the whirlpool is a type of hydrotherapy in a sitting position on a small surface. Experience shows that it is these parts of the body that are most prone to fatigue, and a whirlpool bath is an effective method of relieving tension and improving blood circulation.

During water and water-air massage, water flows formed in special holes located in the walls of the bath reach the human body. The addition of air increases the pressure of the water jet and oxygenates the skin. The number of jets in a hot tub depends on the size and shape. Some bathtubs have specially molded cavities in which nozzles are installed so that they do not interfere with the container. Usually installed from 4 to 12 nozzles - depending on the size of the plumbing fixture. The nozzles can be adjustable, which allows you to direct the flow of water to specific parts of the body.

The location and direction of the massage jets in the walls of the bath is important because it determines the massage of certain parts of the body: neck, back, shoulders, thighs, calves and feet.

Some manufacturers install nozzles in places specified by the customer. However, it should be remembered that the location of the nozzles proposed by the manufacturer is not accidental. This is confirmed by research, calculations, and their change can change the functionality of the item.

If you want to use a massage bath for therapeutic purposes, then choosing it, it is best to contact a physiotherapist. The specialist will tell you where the nozzles should be located, determine the parameters of the water jets and other features.

Such plumbing is suitable for people working in a sitting position, for athletes and physically active people. Sometimes even the adoption of such baths is recommended for pregnant women (after consultation with the attending physician). Water bubbles can eliminate leg swelling and help with injuries.

Water for the nozzles is supplied by a pumping unit (that is, a pump with an electric motor). The pump draws water from the bathtub through the suction pipe, at the end of which there is a special outlet, and pumps it through the nozzles back into the bathroom. Water pipes are made of rigid or flexible (corrugated) PVC pipes. A quality pump runs quietly. It can be cooled with bathing water, which means that it is systematically heated. The most common are units with a power of about 1 kW, and for large baths 1.5 kW.

The variety of shapes is impressive, the shape of the bath can be angular or asymmetrical, oval or round, as well as rectangular.

Types of massage

Air massage (so-called pearl massage) supports hydromassage and is carried out with the help of tiny air bubbles. This is a gentle, relaxing massage.

There are two types of baths:

• air can be pumped in the form of small bubbles through nozzles;
• through the perforated bottom of the tub.

Bathtubs in which compressed air exits from holes have a double bottom. In the space between them there are channels that ensure uniform distribution of air. Bathtubs with air jets should have a sufficiently thick and durable bottom.

Air for air massage is injected through a compressor located under the tub. This air may be heated (using a heater) or unheated.In some systems, the flow of air bubbles can fluctuate smoothly or abruptly between their minimum and maximum intensity.

Control

In the simplest models, the control is simple, manual. The pump is turned on and off with a pneumatic button. More expensive bath models are equipped with electronic control - using touch switches (remote controls). They can also be equipped with programmers, thanks to which it is possible to change the massage parameters during water procedures (flow intensity, water pressure, time of pulsating or constant flow, temperature of the water flowing from the nozzles). In addition, the air flow and pulsation are adjustable.

Accessories

The whirlpool bath can be equipped with halogen lighting, a closing and overflow system, a device for heating the bath water and air for pearl massage, for drying pipes and nozzles after the bath and for removing residue after the bath, and also have a disinfection system - most often used in bathtubs located in hotels, medical institutions, offices. Along with the hot tub, you can buy a luxury battery installed on the edge of the tub. The battery, as well as other details (handles, cork, transfer handle) can be gilded. Some jacuzzi models have a non-slip bottom.

Assembly

Hot tubs are placed on special aluminum frames or legs. Due to the vibrations that occur during hydromassage, the body must not be rigidly connected to the wall or floor. The front part is protected by a panel that can be removed if necessary to gain access to the pump, pipes and communications.

You can install the bath by mounting it in the floor, but you must be aware of the possibility of penetration into the devices and ensuring ventilation of the space below it.

Before installing a hot tub in your own bathroom, it is recommended that you consult with an expert to determine what electrical and plumbing requirements are required for easy installation.

Important! Connecting the HD massage bathtub to electricity is best left to an experienced electrician. If you connect electrical devices incorrectly or by yourself (this is especially true for baths made abroad), you can easily damage the control unit, which will cause inconvenience, extra costs for its replacement.

Safety

Most hot tubs have water level sensors. Massage can only be started when the jets are covered with water. Activating this function early may cause the bathroom to be flooded with strong water currents.

There are systems that automatically turn off after a while if the bather falls asleep in the tub.

Other types of security:

• zeroing of the water pump and aluminum frame;
• protective isolation of the compressor and an electronic box;
• the maximum voltage of the elements in the direct range of the bather is 12 V DC;
• appropriate degree of protection of the pump motor;
• sufficient distance between the pump and the suction port to prevent hair from being trapped.

Care and maintenance

Pipes through which the pump is sucked in and pumped water must be laid so that the water contained in them can drain into the sewer.

After bathing, the water must be drained, as algae and bacteria grow in stagnant water, which pollute the water in the bath. Manufacturers recommend periodic disinfection of massage systems in bathtubs. Some baths have automatic drying systems after the procedure is completed.Some companies offer a special bath rinse system that cleans the whirlpool components from debris in the tub.
