Air Tub | Air Whirlpool | Air Jetted Bathtub
Known by different names: Air Tub, Air Bath, Thermal Air, Champagne Air, Bubble Tub or Air Masseur - all represent an Air Jetted Bath.
What is An Air Tub?
An air tub creates thousands of warm
bubbles that caresses the skin. The bubbles stimulate the skin's light touch receptors, producing
an overall calming effect.
A blower works like a giant hair dryer, taking the room temperature air, increasing it by approximately 30° and blowing it through the bathtub. 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". They 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/heater to keep the temperature consistent.

Choosing the Perfect Air Tub
Why do we carry so many brands? Each tub company provides a different mix of sizes, tub depth and air jet locations. Providing multiple choices allows you to find the perfect air tub for your needs. How do you choose from so many tubs? The simplest list of steps:
- Determine the size of the
bathtub that will fit in your bathroom.
(You can shop by size, shape or installation at our sister site: www.tubzlady.com.)
- Choose the style of whirlpool - round, rectangle, oval or corner.
- Look at jet location, bathing well size and blower location.
- Add
the tub options that will add to your bath
experience.

Air Jet Placement
Not all tub companies put there air jets in the same location. Some are perimeter systems (just above the tub floor, around the sides of the bathtub), some are across the bottom and some include jets on the back. Some offer a option of perimeter or bottom, some have all. The technical sheet for the bathtub will give more information on air location.

MTI offers 2 unique air bath systems: System Aria and Aria Elite. Both systems provide a light full-body massage through 20 jets on the bottom of the bathing well. An unobtrusive electronic keypad allows adjustment of the speed and intensity of the 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' 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 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 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 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. |
