Bathroom and Tile Inspiration Bathroom inspirationBuying tips for a whirlpool bath

Whirlpool baths offer the ultimate moment of relaxation. In them, you can completely unwind after a long working day. The baths are available in different sizes, shapes and models. Think carefully about which one best suits your personal needs and the possibilities in your home. In this handy decision aid, we list a number of important factors that will help you make a choice. So you will have found the right hot tub in no time.

1. Determine the size of the whirlpool

Before buying a whirlpool, it is important to know the exact dimensions of your bathroom. Based on these measurements, you determine the size of your future whirlpool bath. Think carefully about the desired size, and do not only consider the outside of the bath. The bottom length on the inside is also important. If it is too short, you will not be able to stretch your legs fully. In addition, a minimum depth of 55 cm is recommended so that your whole body can be submerged.

If you have a large bathroom, a 2-person whirlpool bath is the perfect choice. This is available in various designs. Do you choose to sit next to or opposite each other, or do you prefer a wide whirlpool where the legs do not cross? You will find all these options in our range.

Tip: check beforehand whether the whirlpool can reach its destination. Not only your bathroom, but also the route to it should be easily accessible.

2. Choose the right shape

Shape is another important aspect when choosing a whirlpool. There are all kinds of shapes and sizes, making them suitable for both small and large bathrooms. Offset and quarter-round models are space-saving and ideal if you have limited space. This allows you to retain more walking space.

If you have a large bathroom, a 2-person whirlpool is the perfect choice. This is available in several finishes. Do you prefer to sit next to or opposite each other, or do you prefer a wide whirlpool where the legs do not cross? You will find all these options in our range.

3. Choose between water and/or air massage

Once you have determined the dimensions and shape of the whirlpool, you can choose between one with water massage or one with water massage and air massage. With water massage, the water is pumped into the bath via steel bottom jets and ABS side jets. The water jets that are thrust against the body give your skin and muscles a full massage. This promotes circulation and provides relaxation. Our Brass and Silver whirlpools feature water jet massage.

Do you prefer a combination of water and air massage? Then our luxurious Gold and Platinum whirlpools are for you. In these whirlpools, the water jets at the bottom have been replaced by air massage jets. The air comes out of the jets at the bottom and is discharged at the sides. This creates vibrations in the bath that promote metabolism. Moreover, air is less powerful than water.

Moreover, Platinum whirlpools are equipped with a turbo massage. The turbo function causes the air and water pumps to work together. Here, the air pump joins air to the water flow, creating an even more powerful massage. This has a positive effect on relieving muscle pain.

4. Luxurious extras

Would you like additional luxury features? Then a whirlpool with touchscreen controls is the ideal choice. Here, our specialists have thought of even the smallest details. For example, our Silver, Gold and Platinum whirlpools have an invisible filling sensor. When you fill the bath via the flush plate, the filler tap stops as soon as the water reaches the sensor. With bath water heating, you complete this experience. This keeps the water at a pleasant temperature throughout the bathing session.

Or how about integrated underwater lighting in your whirlpool? You can choose from as many as seven different colours. By choosing a colour that suits your mood, you give the whirlpool a personal touch. In addition, these whirlpools are equipped with Bluetooth, allowing you to easily connect your phone and listen to your favourite music.

5. Pneumatic or touchscreen controls

There are two ways to operate a whirlpool. Depending on the functionalities you want from your whirlpool, the control is determined. A whirlpool with pneumatic control has an on/off button integrated in the bath rim. Below the control knob is a hose that runs to the water pump. Through air pressure movement in this hose, the switch in the water pump is switched.

The more luxurious whirlpools are equipped with a touchscreen control panel. This controls not only the water and air massage, but also all kinds of luxurious extras. These include the previously described temperature controller, water level sensor, led lighting and the various massage programmes.

6. The design

When choosing a whirlpool bath, the design also plays an important role. Every whirlpool has its own characteristics. Do you like an eye-catching touch? Then one with a bathtub window is ideal. This will give the bathroom a luxurious designer look. There are also whirlpools with sparkling natural stone details and elegantly finished panels. For a playful design, choose a whirlpool with a wavy exterior.
