The perfect whirlpool tub must be comfortable, practical and, why not, also beautiful.

Choosing a whirlpool bathtub means having to pay attention to some fundamental elements to avoid making a wrong purchase.

Size

The dimensions of the tub are generally standardized, but the shapes vary depending on the position they will occupy and the design of the area where it will be installed.
The tubs that can be purchased can be:

• Rectangular. The most classic choice, ideal for single use but also for couples. Easy to install against the wall or in a corner, they have dimensions varying between 170x80cm and 200x160cm
• Circular. An always very attractive option, suitable for being positioned in the center of the bathroom or bedroom. They usually have a wide diameter and a comfortable design, which makes them perfect for hosting multiple people, for a whirlpool with company.
• Corner. Models with this shape are very practical to position and offer an excellent compromise between available space, ease of installation and unique design.

Position

Think about where to position the whirlpool tub. The decision should be made following your taste, but also some technical elements:

• the dimensions of the area where it will be installed, paying attention to the spaces needed to enter the tub and those extra for installing accessories, such as steps.
• the ventilation system, must be valid as bathtubs installed in enclosed spaces generate a lot of steam which can lead, over time, to mold formation and other problems.
• electrical outlets at 220v (even if the power can vary from model to model). You will need at least one to allow the whirlpool to function.
• the position of the plumbing fixtures, to understand if there is the possibility to install the bathtub or if specific work is needed to set up suitable inlet and outlet.
• the water system, to know if the connections of the old plumbing fixtures are compatible with those of the new bathtub.

Optional and accessories

The whirlpool can have various accessories. Some are essential to improve comfort, others instead facilitate the use of the bathtub.


Based on the model, you have the ability to choose: pillows to relax completely and support the cervical area; grab bars to enter and exit with greater ease; access steps to avoid any problems entering the bathtub; small tables to rest glasses or other items.
You can also add other accessories, such as massage chairs, stereo, TV/DVD, lights for color therapy.

Choose a bathtub that adapts to your lifestyle and your needs: how many people will use the bathtub together, how much time you will use it (perhaps adding a monitor to watch a movie could be a perfect solution), what comfort you need (pillows, chairs, steps), where you will position it (at home or outside, in the bathroom or in the bedroom).

Whirlpool bathtubs are also perfect for experiencing the feeling of relaxation given by the lights that can create an atmosphere suitable for a warm bath or can be combined for a color therapy.
Some of them can be equipped with radio and integrated amplification to relax while listening to your favorite music, or with Bluetooth connection to always stay connected to the multimedia devices in your home.
