Create A Spa In Your Bathroom With A Custom Bathtub


More and more people are trying to create a spa-like atmosphere in their home bathroom. Just by replacing your old bathtub with a better bathtub, your bathroom will have an entirely new look and feel. The relaxation that a whirlpool or air water bathtub provides is totally unique. Warm water itself is relaxing, but with a better bathtub you can add a whirlpool or air bath, it becomes much more. It is also possible to have a combination whirlpool and air bath system with one of these luxury soaking tubs.

A better bathtub can fit into any bathroom design because there are many different sizes and shapes that are made. Rectangular tubs with an air jet system provides a bubble massage. There are many air jets that blow tiny bubbles into the water to relax the body and ease the mind. An adjustable setting allows for increasing or decreasing the intensity of the air that blows into the water to produce the bubbles.

Whereas a better bathtub with an air jet system provides many bubbles all over the water in the tub, a whirlpool has powerful massage that is directed to specific muscle groups of the body. The various bathtub models can be ordered with either of these massage systems or even with both of them.

One rectangular model measures 66 inches in length by 34 inches in width and it is 21 inches deep. It holds 50 gallons of water when the whirlpool is operating, and it would need 88 gallons to overflow. Smaller sizes are also available, including 25 inch and 28 inch wide styles. The depth of the tub can also vary. Other shapes are also available to fit any bath décor and design.

A bathtub may be free standing for a contemporary look rather than being attached to the wall as a traditional bathtub is. The free standing style provides a look of luxury to a bathroom, but it maintains simplicity and tastefulness. This type of tub is often used in modern homes that have a large master bath.

Whirlpools can be slippery because they are made of fiberglass and acrylic. For this reason, a bathtub has a non-skid surface on the bottom of the tub. There are other built-in features to this brand that are helpful to have, such as the water level sensor that turns the system off automatically if the water falls below the required level.

 Also, when the whirlpool is turned on, the wave speed varies gradually to allow the user to set it at minimum or maximum speed. The easy to see, simple to use settings controller uses a simple plus or minus button to make adjusting the whirlpool or air jet system easy to do.

A bathtub is not only a beautiful addition to a bathroom, but this designer bathtub is simple to use.
