How to use a whirlpool bath

If you decide to splash out on a whirlpool bath, then you’ll need to know how to use it – and the good news is that it’s fairly straightforward. At Bathshack, we supply whirlpool baths which operate from one of three systems – System A, B and C. Which one you purchase will subsequently influence how your bath operates, as each comes with slightly different features.

If you opt for System A, then we’ll place 12 jet holes around the walls of your bath, including one intake hole and two for the control buttons.

With System B we space the 12 Air Spa jets on the base of the bath, along with the operational buttons, while System C has double the number of jets set into the bath. These will be arranged on both of the bath walls and base and will also, of course, include those all-important operational buttons.

Whirlpool baths offer the ultimate relaxing, spa-like bathing experience.

To operate your whirlpool bath, simply turn the dials to activate features.

• To operate the water jets, just turn the dial to the ‘on’ position, then press the button in the centre. This will activate the jets, which will stay on until you decide to turn them off. To do this, simply press down on the centre button again and then turn the dial to the ‘off’ position.
• Next, drain the bath as you would ordinarily. The jets will then go through a self-cleaning process within one-to-two hours of emptying the bath, so it may make noises during this time, which shouldn’t be mistaken for the bath turning on again.

NB Depending on which system you have, you may have more dials, to operate the additional features, but whether it’s using the air control, colour kinetic technology or jets, just give the dials a quarter-turn to activate.
