How to choose a hot tub: what to look for before buying + manufacturers overview

How to choose a bath

How to choose the right whirlpool tub? Using the instructions to determine the model and type of construction is quite simple.

Step 1. Initially, you should evaluate the parameters of the bathroom - what size bath can fit there. It is clear that absolutely any design can be placed in a huge room, while with small rooms you will have to choose longer

By the way, it is important to evaluate the size even if the house has narrow flights of stairs or doorways. With a large bathroom, problems can arise not only during transportation, but even just when brought into an apartment.

First you need to take measurements

Step 2

It is important to think about how deep the bath should be. It is best to take designs with a depth of 45 cm

bath depth measurement

Step 3. Now it's worth thinking about the material from which the bath will be made. The optimal combination of "price-quality" is observed in acrylic structures. But, depending on the wishes and thickness of the buyer's wallet, you can buy any bath.

Consider which material to choose

Step 4. You should select in advance the necessary functions that the bath should have. Do you need different modes, headrests, etc.? If not, then there is no point in overpaying for these parts either.

Step 5. Lovers of all things stylish should definitely think about the color of the structure. The classic is white, but you can buy a blue, red, black bath and so on.

Step 6

The power of the pump, bath compressors and the number of nozzles are also important to determine in advance. It is best to choose the design that has a silent pump with a capacity of at least 200 l / min.

Its power should vary from 600 to 1500 watts. The nozzles should not be recessed into the surface of the bath, otherwise it will be inconvenient to clean it.

Nozzles must not be sunk into the surface of the bath.

Step 7. It is important to decide which company the bath will be purchased from. Ideally, if it is of German quality

And those who want a very cheap model should consider Chinese options. But they will serve less.

Step 8. Before you go to the store, it is better to re-read the reviews about the selected models on various forums.

Explore consumer reviews

Step 9. At the place of purchase, the tub should be carefully inspected for damage.

Step 10The contract of sale must be drawn up in accordance with all the rules and include warranty obligations, conditions for repair and maintenance. Here you should read the papers with special care.

If you reasonably evaluate the state of your wallet and understand what you really need from the bath, then making a choice will not be difficult. And the hot tub as a whole is a great opportunity not only to take water procedures with comfort and pleasure, but also to improve your health at the same time.

Proper care

A hydromassage bath, as you already understood, is not the simplest device, therefore it requires some care. With proper maintenance, the system will work for a long time and without problems:

Water filters are a must. In their absence, the system can fail within a year if the water is heavily polluted.
Instructions to read at the beginning, and not when something breaks. Therefore, initially, when buying a bath, familiarize yourself with all the features of operation, and especially with those related to the ban on the use of salts, foam and other means.
The system must be cleaned and disinfected regularly. This is also spelled out in the instructions with recommendations. You need to wash the bathtub every time, and disinfect it after 5-7 uses.

It is important to carry out any care only with the means recommended by the manufacturer. Also after each cleaning it is necessary to wipe the container dry.

The hydromassage system must be used. If the downtime is long, then the device will also fail faster. On average, such bathrooms are recommended to be turned on at least once a week.

All things considered, you can keep your purchase in good condition for 10 years plus/minus.

Bath massage

Some people get the simple pleasure of lying in warm water, while others want to fully receive hydrotherapy. The type, size, and number of jets in the tub will determine the type of massage a person will experience. To create a massage effect, jets are provided in the design of the bath (special elements, most often located on the walls of the bath, which serve to release water, air, or a combination of these two components). For example, a few large jets will provide a vigorous deep massage, while many small diameter nozzles will give a softer point-type massage. If both water and air are pumped in the nozzle at the same time, then the human body feels a lighter effect, the effect of a gentle massage of the whole body with less force is created, this will allow you to get a good relaxation result.

The best hot tubs are those that fully meet all the needs of the buyer.When choosing a model, make sure that the design of the bathtub is equipped with a sufficient number of jets located in places that especially need massage, such as neck, shoulders, mid/lower back, wrists, calves and feet.

Many people think that the more nozzles in the design of the bathroom, the better, but this principle may not necessarily be true for everyone. Placement, type and ease of control of modes should be considered when purchasing. If the buyer often experiences various pain sensations, then models with adjustable jet pressure can be considered. Adjustable nozzles can be turned on and off individually, allowing you to control and vary the pressure.

Converting an old bathtub to a hot tub

The question of creating a hot tub in your apartment worries many home craftsmen. After all, what could be easier than buying the necessary components and creating a hydromassage miracle that meets your wishes.

Firstly, the old bath will still have to be dismantled - otherwise nothing can be done with it. Secondly, you have to buy components - nozzles, a compressor, pipes, a pump and other parts needed to create a hot tub. All details should be carefully chosen, giving preference to French or Italian models.

Among the budget jacuzzi models, you can choose the optimal ratio of the desired functions and cost

As a result, the initial cost will be significantly higher than buying a ready-made inexpensive whirlpool tub. Yes, an indisputable advantage - components of excellent quality were purchased. But everything has yet to be installed by drilling holes in the right places in the tub.This is a rather responsible task that requires skill.

Then you need to install the nozzles and fix them, seal and isolate the connections with special compounds. And also, connect the pump, compressor and pipes. Also, you have to take care of the filters, because the water from the water supply system will disable the entire system in a maximum of a year.

The main problem with self-assembly is to assemble, isolate all joints and connect correctly. These works for a home craftsman who does not have relevant experience are very difficult. Most often, you can encounter the problem of massive leaks by running the assembled system for testing.

In general, it is possible to assemble a hot tub on your own by purchasing the necessary components. But it’s not worth it, because it will cost much more than buying a finished product in the middle price range.

When installing a jacuzzi, it is recommended to install water filters. Even the highest quality hydromassage system can fail after a year due to impurities in tap water.

Material

Bathtubs are made from different materials.

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it is important to evaluate the features of the various options and relate them to your capabilities and needs.

Steel

Durable material that has the following advantages:

• Relatively low price when compared, for example, with a cast-iron counterpart.
• "Standard forms" - for small bathrooms there are many steel products of the usual rectangular shape.
• Relatively light weight, again compared to the cast-iron counterpart.
• Good heat capacity of the material, which contributes to a longer maintenance of high water temperature.

Minuses:

Older models are quite noisy.In the new collections, this shortcoming has been eliminated.

Cast iron

Old, kind, which will last 50 years without problems, if the quality of its coating does not fail. This material has been used for a very long time and also has its advantages:

• Holds high water temperature for a long time.
• Durable.
• Prost in service.
• Features a low noise level.

The disadvantages of miracle cast iron, in the case of bathrooms, are as follows:

• Big weight.
• Difficulty of transportation.
• Difficult installation (mainly due to the considerable mass of the product).
• Pretty high price.
• A lot of pressure on the overlap (this must be taken into account before buying).

Be sure to pay attention to the quality of the enamel and the uniformity of the coating - the better it is, the longer the product will last.

Acrylic

The most popular material for the production of hot tubs in various shapes, colors and accessories. What is causing the high demand? Here are the main advantages:

• Light weight.
• The widest range.
• Ease of transportation and installation.
• The ability to eliminate scratches and small chips with a special repair kit.

The disadvantages of acrylic hot tubs include:

High susceptibility to mechanical (including deformation under the influence of very hot water, etc.) and chemical damage - such features are typical for the most economical models.

There are several types of acrylic bathtubs:

• Cast. Products are made under pressure after heating the acrylic sheet. Such designs are stronger than those that will be described below, but also twice as expensive on average.
• extruded. The material is obtained by extrusion, and then production is also carried out under a press from a highly heated sheet. After hardening, the structure is also reinforced from the outside with a mixture of epoxy resins.Models made of this material are recommended for relatively infrequent use, for example, in the country.

It can also be noted that acrylic itself can be different in chemical composition:

• Acrylonetrile butadiene styrene (ABS/PMMA). In this case, a mixture of different substances is used, of which acrylic is about 10%. Such material is prone to rapid "abrasion" due to its roughness.
• Polymethyl methacrylate. This is the purest homogeneous acrylic. It is characterized by high strength, durability, attractive appearance.

For example, a video with recommendations for choosing acrylic hot tubs:

artificial stone and natural

This option is especially loved by designers for the variety of colors and the ability to prepare products for any type of interior, be it classic, modern or, beloved by many, minimalism.

Pros:

• High strength.
• A large assortment.
• The opportunity to create an exclusive product.
• Durability.

Minuses:

Relatively high cost, especially for "custom-made" products.

Combination of different materials

Today you can find models that combine marble, glass, steel, etc. Such devices are not inferior to others and in many ways even surpass them by using the advantages of each material.

What determines the quality of baths

The quality of an acrylic bath directly depends on the method of its manufacture and the thickness of the material. It is these criteria that are of paramount importance when choosing a model. Two different technologies are used for the production of bathtubs - extrusion and casting.

Acrylic bath design

The casting method makes it possible to produce a bowl of absolutely any size, thickness and configuration. The finished product is resistant to alkalis and acids, as well as to mechanical damage.Another advantage is a perfectly smooth, dense surface, without pores and tubercles. On such a surface, pollution does not accumulate, traces of dyes do not remain, mold does not develop. The disadvantages include the high cost due to the complexity of production, as well as the uneven thickness of the workpieces over the entire area.

Production of acrylic bathtubs

The manufacture of bathtubs from extruded acrylic involves the formation of multilayer products using ABS plastic as a supporting base. This technology is characterized by higher productivity, which contributes to cheaper products. In terms of impact resistance, as well as resistance to scratches and aggressive environments, they are only slightly inferior to cast ones, but their adhesion with the reinforcing layer is higher. Deviations from the nominal thickness of the bowl over the entire area are not more than 5%, which is very small compared to injection models.

production line

Both methods of production are widely used by foreign and Russian companies, and subject to the technology, the manufactured products are of very high quality.

Unfortunately, many artisanal firms fake both cast bathtubs and those made of extruded acrylic, so when choosing, special attention should be paid to the thickness of the material itself and the reinforcing layer.

Video - Production of acrylic bathtubs BAS

The thicker the acrylic sheet, the more reliable and durable the product. For cast acrylic, the optimal thickness is 4-6 mm, although in the models on the market it varies between 2-8 mm, depending on the manufacturer.As practice shows, bathtubs with an acrylic layer 2-3 mm thick on average last up to 4 years, with a layer of 4-5 mm the service life will be about 7 years, with a layer of 6 mm - up to 10 years or more.

If you are going to buy a bath, take a flashlight with you. A poor-quality bath will be visible through and through

It is important that the thickness of the acrylic is the same along the entire length of the tub.

For baths made of extruded material, the thickness of the acrylic coating should be in the range of 0.7-1 mm, while in cheap fakes it is only 0.2-0.3 mm. Such a bath will last at most a couple of years, then you have to buy a new one. The thickness of the reinforcing layer in high-quality models is usually 4-5 mm, and the bottom and attachment points of the frame are additionally reinforced with chipboard.

High-quality bathtubs do not turn yellow and do not crack over time

Care is the key to long-term pleasure

All buyers have one desire - that the purchased bathtub with hydromassage will serve for a long time. It is good that it performs its functions without problems for at least 10 years. This is possible, because many European manufacturers give a 10-year warranty on their equipment.

The key to long-term pleasure from hydromassage sessions is the correct use and care of the equipment. First, you need to carefully read the instructions. And use the hot tub as indicated there - do not pour foam, salt, dyes and other cosmetics, the use of which is prohibited by the manufacturer.

Many manufacturers indicate in the manual for the use of their products the names of products that can be used to wash the jacuzzi

Secondly, you will have to regularly wash and disinfect the bathing container along with all the equipment. The instructions have recommendations on how often these works should be performed. Usually, after each hydromassage session, you need to thoroughly wash the bowl of the container, removing possible contaminants from the walls and bottom. As for disinfection, it is desirable to do this after 5-7 procedures.

Thirdly, for washing and disinfection, you should use special products recommended or approved by the manufacturer. Otherwise, you can cause irreparable damage to your personal mini spa.

Fourth, we must not forget about our Jacuzzi. Turn on the hydromassage system at least once a week. In the event of long downtime, equipment can fail very quickly.

A hot tub, whether acrylic or cast iron, likes to be wiped dry with a soft cloth after washing.

Timely care, disinfection, the use of only special products for hot tubs will not only save you from troubles, but will also allow you to enjoy massage for at least 10 years.

Precautionary measures

1. For better awakening, the morning bath should be no more than 10 minutes with a water temperature of about 30 ° C.
2. In the evening, for relaxation and better sleep, you can stay in the hot tub for 30 minutes at a water temperature of about 37°C.
3. The water temperature must be constant.
4. If you like hot baths over 39°C (although this is not entirely healthy), then wrap your head with a wet cold towel.
5. Try to avoid physical activity immediately after water procedures.
6. It is useful to apply a moisturizing and softening cream on the body.
7. If you have heart problems, you should consult your doctor.
8. As with the purchase of any other equipment, of course it is better to give preference to well-known companies that have been manufacturing hot tubs for many years.
9. Be sure to find out about warranty and post-warranty service and service centers in your city so that it will not be a surprise for you in the event of a breakdown.

What do you need to know before buying?

If you have decided to purchase a hot tub, you are most likely aware of the benefits that hydromassage brings. Despite the fact that whirlpool bathtubs appeared in our country somewhere in the 90s of the 20th century and during this time it was possible to make a unified super-technological model, bathtub manufacturers still periodically improve and improve them.

Therefore, new models come out every year with a more convenient control method, a large number of types of massage, higher power, with the ability to create a personal massage program and various additional bells and whistles and chips. Today, a bathtub can be equipped with all the gadgets that exist and even enter the "smart home" system.

Without interrupting the hydromassage session, you can answer the phone or watch your favorite movie. What remains unchanged is what hot tubs were created for - a therapeutic effect. The strength of the therapeutic effect depends on what types of massage your bath can offer.

The cost of a hot tub depends on its shape as well. The most inexpensive option is a regular rectangular bath. The most expensive is round. Plus, it takes up a lot of space to install.

Almost all bathtubs are designed to carry out underwater massage using built-in jets. The power and strength of the massage depends on their number.If you need to massage certain areas (collar or back), you can safely choose a hot tub with nozzles located in this area.

When considering how to choose a hot tub, consider which of these criteria is more important to you personally than the others:

• appearance, shape, depth, color and size of the bath;
• the material from which the bath is made;
• functionality of the bath (types of massage, baths with additives);
• additional functions (leg adjustment, lighting, musical accompaniment);
• equipment;
• manufacturer;
• price;
• provision of delivery, installation, maintenance services by the company;
• duration of the guarantee.

By purchasing a hot tub, you can regularly receive the following types of massage:

• whirpool - massage with water jets enriched with air or underwater massage shower (6-8 nozzles work);
• airpool - air massage with jets of air bubbles or the so-called bubble massage (10-50 nozzles are involved);
• turbopool is a combination option that combines both types of massage.

In more expensive models, it is possible to take baths with various additives (mud, algae, salt, honey, milk).

Lighting is not a luxury, but an element of comfort

Before buying, you can consult with your doctor about which types of massage will be most beneficial for you, and which ones should be excluded from your wellness program.

So, once you've decided on the features you need and the amount you're willing to spend, the next step is to measure the room where you plan to install your chosen hot tub. The dimensions and shape of the bathroom will depend on its size.

A round acrylic bathtub with a TV display or a mirror (depending on the selected mode), with a touch control system, cut into the floor will cost you from 2500 USD

pros

Relaxation. Almost every person dreams of coming home after a hard day's work and relaxing, resting body and soul. Streams of water, hitting the skin, have an anti-stress effect. This plus of hot tubs is a major one. In most cases, such fonts are purchased for this very purpose.

Beneficial effect on the skin. Any doctor will tell you that massage improves blood circulation, and also makes the skin more toned, smooth and maintains it in a healthy state.

Fight against cellulite. Every woman with cellulite wants to get rid of it. Hydromassage due to strong water flows eliminates this problem.

If a woman does not have an “orange peel” on her buttocks, then water massage will be an excellent prevention against it.

Relieves pain. Hydromassage is especially useful for those who have problems with the spine, as stimulation with water flows improves the blood supply to all tissues of the body. Pain in the back area will gradually go away and will not return if you take a hot tub several times a week. This is certainly not a panacea for all diseases, but such a procedure can alleviate the condition. The main thing is to consult with a specialist first.

As you have already noticed, the Jacuzzi has a very beneficial effect on health. But even such a wonderful procedure, in addition to its advantages, also has contraindications.Therefore, be sure to read our article about the benefits and dangers of hydromassage.

An element of decor and luxury. Modern hot tubs look very impressive. They will bring a special zest to your interior. Especially if it is made in Hi-tec style. After all, many fonts now look like some kind of spaceship. Some of them are equipped with built-in TV, chromotherapy (changing lighting) and sound speakers.

Peculiarities

The whirlpool bath is a standard bathtub equipped with nozzles that emit water jets under power. They provide the massage effect.

Hydromassage fittings are made of metal, but this does not lead to a significant increase in the weight of the structure.

In addition to the acrylic bowl and nozzles, the design is equipped with an electric pump, the task of which is to maintain the circulation of water throughout the bath. It is thanks to the presence of the pump that water is supplied to the nozzles, where it mixes with air bubbles, and then is released under pressure. The device is controlled using the control panel, which has buttons for turning the device on / off, selecting the appropriate operating mode.

The location of the hydromassage jets is carried out along the massage lines in the area of ​​the neck, shoulders, back, hips, buttocks, calves, feet. The design of the bowl suggests the presence of recesses and armrests in it for more comfortable placement.

Acrylic devices with a hydromassage function have their advantages.

• Strength. In terms of strength, acrylic bowls are comparable to cast iron bowls, but at the same time they have less weight and do not rattle when taking on water.
• Long service life. On average, acrylic bathtubs are operated for 10-15 years.
• High rates of thermal insulation. This means that the collected water cools down slowly - on average, by 1C in 30 minutes. This is an important indicator, since the time for taking hot tubs is usually at least 30 - 40 minutes.

• No response to water quality. An important indicator, especially for residents of apartment buildings. Rusty water or water with a high content of chlorine often runs from the tap. Fortunately, this does not affect the appearance of the material and its performance properties.
• High levels of sound insulation. Such a bath does not rattle when taking water, using a shower.
• Ease of installation. Light weight ensures ease of installation. Connecting such a bath is no different from connecting similar devices.

• Ease of use. Acrylic bathtub is easy to clean, it does not form stains and streaks. If chips appear on the surface of the enamel, they can be eliminated with your own hands using special pastes.
• Attractive appearance. Acrylic is smooth and pleasant to the touch. Modern manufacturers produce a large number of models that differ in color and design.

The presence of hydromassage jets provides a relaxing effect. Acupressure water-air massage improves blood circulation, which is an excellent prevention and method of combating obesity, cellulite. The procedures are indicated for people suffering from diseases of the musculoskeletal system, frequent headaches and osteochondrosis.

Like any device, acrylic hot tubs have disadvantages. First of all, it is low antibacterial protection. It is believed that a teaspoon of tap water contains several hundred microorganisms. In the same volume of water from the jacuzzi, the bill goes into the thousands.This is due to the fact that bacteria multiply more actively in the closed space of the bowl.

The way out of this situation is to purchase models with a built-in disinfection system or special compounds added to the bath. It is recommended to wash the bath not only after each use, but also before the procedure.

Among other shortcomings, the high cost of the product is often called. However, according to most users, this disadvantage is leveled by the comfort and pleasant sensations that a hot tub gives.

Selection Guide

Material. On sale there are bathtubs from several materials.

1. Acrylic designs have become the most popular. The optimal wall thickness is considered to be 5-6 mm, which is enough for the safe adoption of water procedures even for two adult users. Manufacturers offer a large number of shapes and sizes. At the same time, acrylic products are lightweight, which simplifies the process of moving and connecting.
2. Cast iron is gradually losing ground. The main disadvantage is a lot of weight. The choice of shapes and sizes looks rather modest. The advantages of cast iron models include low noise, slow cooling of water and durability.
3. Steel is a strong and durable material. Models are light weight and low price. But when filling with water, a high level of noise is generated, the water in the bath does not remain warm for long.
4. The most expensive are bathtubs made of natural or artificial stone. Such models are valued for the variety of colors, high strength, exclusive design and durability. The downside is the high price and heavy weight.

The form. The assortment of forms of bathtubs with hydromassage looks rich enough.

1. The rectangular design is considered a classic of the genre. It impresses with its versatility of installation and traditional appearance.
2. Corner bathtubs come with sides of the same or different lengths. They are distinguished by their original design and the ability to save space in a cramped room. But their price is higher than that of the timeless classics.
3. More and more manufacturers include baths with non-standard shapes in their catalogs. They will become a lifesaver for lovers of exclusivity. But the cost of products can be unpleasantly surprising.

Types of massage systems. A variety of massage systems can be installed in the bath.

1. Hydromassage is a set of nozzles (4-8 pieces) through which water is supplied. They can be installed in the area of ​​the back, legs, neck.
2. Aeromassage is a stream of air coming out of the holes in the bath. The number of air nozzles can vary from 8 to 15.
3. Air-water flows are created in models with Turbopool mode, when both air and water jets operate at the same time.
4. A useful option would be to adjust the intensity of the massage. Some users with highly sensitive skin cannot withstand powerful body massaging.

Control. In order to control massage systems, several options have been invented.

1. Mechanical (pneumatic) control is considered the simplest and most reliable. It is carried out using the usual handles.
2. Electronic control has become a more modern way. All settings and adjustments are made through the touch panel. It can be supplemented with a display and indicator lights. Thanks to the electronic filling, the operation of massage systems can be programmed, individual settings can be memorized.
3. Anti-slip bottom. In some baths, a thin film with a relief is applied to the surface of the bottom or notches are made in order to increase the adhesion of the feet to the base. This option is especially important for older people and clumsy users.

All of them are sold in stores in our country. When distributing places, the editors of the journal expertology proceeded from the opinions of experts, while taking into account the feedback from Russian consumers.
