Air Baths - Air Tubs
Known by different names: Air Tub, Air
Bath, Thermal Air, Champagne Air or Air Masseur - all
represent an Air Jetted Bath. An air tub creates thousands of warm air
bubbles caressing the skin. The air bubbles to stimulate the skin's light touch receptors, producing
an overall calming effect.
An air blower works like a giant hair dryer, taking the room temperature air, increasing it by approximately 30° and blowing it through the bath. The control allows full control of the amount of air. Turn it down for a "low simmer" or all the way up for a "full boil". Air baths differ from a whirlpool in that the
massage is much softer. Until recently a in-line heater to maintain water temperature was only an option on a whirlpool. Now MTI, Hydro Systems and Hydro Massage offer a 2nd system that includes a pump and heater to keep the temperature consistent.

MTI
MTI offers 2 unique air bath systems: System Aria and Aria Elite. Both systems provide a light full-body massage through 20 air jets on the bottom of the bathing well. An unobtrusive electronic keypad allows adjustment of the speed and intensity of the air massage from soft and caressing to more vigorous. Or you can select the wave effect, which alternates the speed between strong and soft to create a very efficient lymphatic massage. Both MTI air bath systems' air jets are appropriately called "illusion" jets because they are barely visible and absolutely flush with the bottom of the bathing well. This design allows for optimized placement of the air jets for maximum performance and therapeutic effectiveness, without sacrificing bather comfort or compromising the aesthetic beauty of the bath. MTI's thermo-air massage system is inherently hygienic. Specially designed plastic protective jet housings, unique to MTI, isolate components to prevent residue buildup in the fiberglass backing of the bath. Sealed in each housing is a built-in backflow prevention check valve that's designed to keep bath water from entering the air lines. Finally, 7 minutes after the water has drained from the tub, an automatic purge cycle engages for one minute to remove any water that might be remaining in the air jets. This ensures that the next bath will be sanitary and fresh, even after a soaking bath or shower. Any Whirlpool can be combined with an Air Bath.

Jason Thermal Air Tub
An AirMasseur® bath generates millions of warm air bubbles that enter the bath through strategically spaced holes in the bottom radius of the bath. Imagine lying back in a bath of bubbly champagne, the feathery touch of the bubbles reach just below your skin's surface for a delicate full-body massage. Jason offers Positive Drain Air Channels to ensure maximum water drainage from the air channel after each use and Automatic Air Channel Drying System which starts automatically, 20 minutes after you've drained your bath. Every Jason bath incorporates their Ergospatial™ Design to cradle your body in its optimally relaxed position, allowing joints and muscles to settle into their most relaxed or "loose pack" state.

This thick, high-density foam platform absorbs vibration and sound while providing insulation and rigid support across the entire floor of the bath.
