Latest Designer Bathroom Ideas and How To Guides for your Home

Hydrotherapy is an extremely effective method to ease stress and tension. Indeed, recent medical research has highlighted the efficacy of a long soak in the bath as aid to enhance circulation, which is of vital importance to anyone suffering from arthritis and diabetes.

But even if you have been working in the garden, or had a particularly difficult day in the office, as little as ten minutes a day in a whirlpool bath will soothe away all those nagging aches and pains.

If you are considering a whirlpool spa bath, but do not want to replace your existing bathtub, there are a number of conversion kits available on the market.

These can normally be installed by technicians within the course of a day and are suitable for almost every type of bath. As long as there is access to one side of the bath and there are no obstructions to the pump or pipes, installation can be completed with a minimum of fuss or mess.

The spas are fitted with easy-to-use controls that ensure safety and comfort. The constantly maintained temperature allows you to relax in the whirlpool for as long as you like, while the adjustable airflow gives you full control of the jet intensity – from a light stream of bubbles to an intense and deeply invigorating water massage.

Economically, the whirlpool is value for money. Depending on the area cost of a unit of electricity, the pump operates at around 3 pence per hour. This can be offset against the savings on hot water because the temperature of the water used will be lower than that of your normal bath.

And because the whirlpool re-circulates water from within the bath, it is easy to keep clean. Simply add a formulated cleaner to a bath full of water and circulate through the system at regular intervals.
