We know that baths are one of the best ways to de-stress and unwind at the end of a long day. However, do you know about the benefits of Whirlpool baths? Whirlpool baths are often associated with spa retreats. However, many now come with a more affordable price tag and boast many functions to elevate your bathing experience. We don’t expect you to take our word on in just yet though. Purchasing a bath is a big move. To help you out, we have put together this handy guide to everything you need to know about whirlpool baths so you can make an informed decision on whether to install one in your home.

How does a whirlpool bath work?

A water intake, installed in the bath’s inner walls that draws water from a bath. The water sucked by the intake will then be directed to the bath’s water pump, using vacuum technology. The water pump then distributes the pumped water to the numerous jets in the bath so they can give you waves of massaging ripples. Whirlpool baths give you the flexibility to control the intensity of these riples and temperature of your water.

Jets

The number of jets in a whirlpool bath depends on the size and shape of the tub. They are strategically placed on the seat of the bath so that target areas such as the back, legs and other body parts benefit from the jets.

The benefits

Relives stress and aching muscles

Whirlpool baths can provide you with a number of health benefits. One of the most obvious benefits is that the integrated jets will massage your muscles as you bathe. Hydrotherapy gently massages and stimulates joints which eases aches and pains.

The jet pressure will also lift your mood by helping your body to naturally release endorphins. Whirlpool baths can also actively reduce another form of hormone: cortisol. This hormone is associated with stress. The more cortisol you have in your bloodstream, the higher your blood pressure and the more stressed out you feel. Reducing this hormone will inevitably help you to feel better. So, if you’re stressed about anything, take a bath and activate the jets – you might be surprised how much it helps.

Technology advances

Early whirlpool bath models had a number of issues. One of the most noticeable faults was that the baths would often fail to drain away water properly. This meant that mould and bad odours were no stranger to those who had a whirlpool bath installed. Another issue that owners of early whirlpool models faced was that they could be very loud. But, don’t click away from this article just yet. Over the year's technology has significantly developed. New Whirlpool models have no issue with drainage, in fact, manufacturers such as Phoenix have worked closely with customers to identify and resolve any problems. Advances in technology have also resolved the issue with noise. Today, whirlpool baths are quiet and will not interrupt you as you are trying to unwind.

Draws out toxins

A whirlpool bath will help rid your body of any toxins that are harbouring in it. Our skin absorbs the pollutants it is faced with every single day. A whirlpool bath provides your skin with the relaxing opportunity to draw out these pollutants helping you to feel refreshed.

Helps you to sleep

Many of us lead busy lifestyles that can take a toll on our sleeping routines. A whirlpool bath can help you get a better night's sleep. Baths help to increase your body temperature preparing your body to cool, something it does naturally to induce sleep.  It does this by encouraging production of melatonin in the body.

They're clean

Without a whirlpool tub, you will need to go to a gym or spa to experience one.  The problem with using a whirlpool installed for public use is the possibility that bacteria can spread. Chlorine is used to clean these tubs as it is used to clean swimming pools and is generally effective. However, in your own, private whirlpool tub, you know exactly what is in your tub water and you have total control over how often and thoroughly it gets cleaned.

They're private

Having your very own whirlpool tub means you don’t need to worry about others infringing on your down time.
