Just so you know, a Jacuzzi and a hot tub are synonymous. This is the name of prophylactic baths, designed for comfortable adoption of water procedures, massage and relaxation.

You relax - she does everything herself ...

For your information, the overseas word “jacuzzi” is the wrong sound of the name of the manufacturer of the miracle bath. In fact, the “father” of massage baths was Candido Jacuzzi, and he was Italian. For fun, it is worth mentioning that initially the Jacuzzi company was engaged in the development of aircraft.

Jacuzzi's slogan to this day is the phrase "Jacuzzi: water that moves you" ("Jacuzzi: Water that moves you").

Stress, chronic fatigue, insomnia… There is a way out! A few sessions of hydromassage - and you perk up. Different modes of the hot tub will help not only improve metabolism, but also improve blood flow.

The main types of hot tubs

Jacuzzis are:

• ordinary,
• combined.

In conventional baths, hydromassage is carried out using air-water jets. In such baths, the nozzles are located in the sides of the bath.

In combined baths, body massage occurs due to air-bubble, as well as air-water flows. At the same time, both hydromassage and aeromassage nozzles are involved. The combination of two types of massage allows you to get the greatest effect and benefit from taking a bath.

Nozzle - the main element of the jacuzzi

When purchasing with massage, buyers usually pay attention to the presence of basic and additional functions, since the purchase of hydromassage is mainly due to the desire to acquire a tool to improve health and keep fit.

But how to choose a hot tub? The main criterion for choosing a bath with hydromassage is its functional purpose.

Modern whirlpools can have up to ten massage modes, as well as various additional features, such as:

• disinfection system,
• backlight,
• chromotherapy,
• aromatherapy,
• auxiliary mixers.

What are hot tubs made of and what do they “eat” with?

The material for the manufacture of bathtubs with hydromassage can be:

• cast iron,
• steel,
• acrylic.

What is the difference between one material and another?

Baths made of cast iron and steel perfectly withstand chemical and mechanical loads, and their main disadvantage is the possible chipping of the surface during accidental impacts, as well as high level the noise of these metals.

The disadvantages of steel baths can also include high thermal conductivity, which is why they retain heat poorly and cool quickly. And the flight of fancy is limited by the standard sizes and shapes of steel and cast iron bathtubs.

The most common hot tub material is acrylic.

The list of its advantages is endless, but here are the main ones:

1. Acrylic is perfectly cleaned and does not accumulate microbes.
2. Compared to other materials from which bathtubs are made, acrylic is the most hygienic.
3. Acrylic is the most appropriate and suitable material for the human body (in terms of our metabolism).
4. If damage or scratches accidentally appear on the surface, they can be easily removed with sandpaper.
   Having carefully processed the damaged area with sandpaper, polish it with automotive varnish.
5. Compared to other bathtubs that lose color, acrylic will retain its luster forever, since the color pigments are distributed uniformly (homogeneously) in it.
6. Acrylic is a kind of insulating material, because it has rather low thermal conductivity properties. An empty acrylic bath has the temperature of the room in which it is located.
7. Acrylic bathtub is very light, it can easily be lifted by one man (or Strong woman). In this regard, the transportation and installation of acrylic bathtubs is not the most time-consuming process in the entire repair.
8. Acrylic is resistant to both ultraviolet and infrared rays.
9. For ten years, acrylic has perfectly retained its original appearance and properties, which cannot be said about other materials.
10. A self-respecting manufacturer sets a 10-year warranty on the body of an acrylic bathtub, and this says a lot.

As you can see, choosing an acrylic hot tub is the most best option.

Note!

Whatever bath you prefer, remember: the complete set of massage systems does not depend on the material of the whirlpool bath.
