In this age and time, when there is so much to worry about and so many reasons to lose sleep over nothing, it has become increasingly important for all of us to find some time for ourselves and relax our senses. A whirlpool bath should be a part of every household. Imagine those delicate jets of water caressing the pressure points of your tired nerves and washing away all the tensions. Instead of spending a lot of your hard earned money in getting spas every now and then, why not invest once in a whirlpool shower bath and get a chance to relax everyday for as long as you want? Whirlpool baths are available in a wide variety. You might want to take a look at the options.

Differentiation of the categories of whirlpool baths are usually done according to a few criteria such as the number of jets, the shapes, sizes, the number of ends and prices.

Number of Jets

The most preferred type of whirlpool bath is that with 6 jets. For a greater effect you may also want to get a bath that has 10 or 12 jets. 11 jets are also available. You will also be able to get baths without jets if you so wish.

Appearance

The sizes and shapes of the bath tub may differ. Mostly they are rectangular. But you can also find an L or P-shaped baths. There are round whirlpool baths as well. They can be straight or a bit curved on the inset. Usually the sizes are 1700mm x 750mm, 1800mm x 800mm and 1500mm x 700mm. You may also get ones in sizes such as 1850mm x 900mm. Broader ones are also available of size 1800mm x 1100mm. The double baths are greater in size with dimensions 1950mm x 1350mm.

Number of ends

Usually a whirlpool bath is either single ended or double ended. In the single ended ones there is only end from where the water can flow out while in the double ended ones, the water can flow out from two ends.

Prices

The least expensive whirlpool bath is the one with no jets. So, if you are running on a tight budget here then we suggest you go for a basic bath without jets. You will get single or double ended bath as per your requirement. In this category the prices go higher with the shape and size of the bath. These are known as standard baths. The next category is whirlpool baths with 6, 10, 11 and 12 jets. Here again, as you can well understand, you will have to shell out more with the increasing numbers of jets and sizes. If you can afford to splurge a little bit in getting the best bath, then go for the 12 jet double bath.

We are hardly left with any time for ourselves in a day of twenty four hours. But if you have a classic whirlpool bath, you will at least feel like spending some time, completely for yourself. Relaxation is very important for all of us. And when it comes in the form of whirlpool baths, it brings with it a number of health and psychological benefits as well. So, why not gift yourself with one?
