Whirlpool Bathtubs - Jetted Tubs
A whirlpool tub (also referred to as a jacuzzi tub) provides a deep tissue massage. Water is pulled from the bath, passes through the pipes, and back out through a jet - providing a massage to the areas in front of the jets. Whirlpools provide the most vigorous form of massage. They can be combined with an in-line heater that will maintain the temperature of water within a few degrees of what it was poured at for as long as the whirlpool is running.
In the past few years Whirlpools have received a bad reputation. Originally the pipes were made from flexible hosing that could bow down due to heat and time. The water would never fully drain from the pipes. When the tub was used again black crud would come out of the jets.
All the manufacturers carried by Tubz.com do not use a pipe system that can hold water.
They are made of the highest quality acrylic, heavy duty fiberglass backing, quality motors and jets. We carry whirlpools from the leading whirlpool manufacturers: Americh | Aquatic | Hydro Systems | Hydro Massage | Jacuzzi | Jason | MTI | Neptune

Aquatic has some of the strongest jets in the industry, the large opening in the jets allows for more water to pass though for a more vigorous massage. The jet configuration depends on the series chosen. See Aquatic Tub Series below.

Most Luxury Series tubs have two upper shoulder jets and one lower back jet. The recessed StressEaz Neck and Shoulder Therapy System directs hydrotherapy action to strategic points of stress retained in the muscles of the neck, shoulders and upper back. The two upper StressEaz Jets are independently pressure adjustable and can be turned off for shallow bathing. A Rotary Massage Jet is deeply recessed below the StressEaz Jets to massage the mid to lower back and torso. The LuxeAir Series Combines the Luxury Series Whirlpool with an Air System |

Hydro Massage Whirlpool Bathtubs
Hydromassage offer multiple jet configurations. Choose your series to get up to nine jets at your neck and back. The mix of air and water gives you a nice strong back massage. If the jet pressure is too strong, you have the ability to turn down the jets using the 3 speed motor. Placement of the back jets is good, you get more of a whole back massage instead of just pin point areas. They also have given great consideration to the cleanliness of your bath addressing the fears that most people who own an older whirlpool have, they have done this in two ways Hydro Massage primarily uses a 'FDA NON-TOXIC' recipe tubing. Unlike flexible pvc or porous pvc pipe, their plumbing harness system provides one of the best drain down systems available. They accomplish this by arching our lines 3 to 5 inches above the jets and using approximately 40 percent less active plumbing than their competition.
