Whirlpool Tubs

Deciding to install a whirlpool tub can be as easy as picking up the phone and calling the nearest dealer or painstakingly difficult as you measure, shop, compare, test, purchase, wait, wait, wait, install and (drum roll, please), USE! Whirlpool tubs are different from spas or hot tubs in that fresh water is used each time. But like spas and hot tubs, whirlpool tubs come with a variety of jet options, heaters, and lights in varying sizes and unlike most spas and hot tubs, the design styles available stretch the imagination.
Choosing a whirlpool bathtub is dependent upon how much room you plan to allocate. In general, whirlpool tubs will have specific plumbing requirements. It’s recommended that you select your whirlpool before you begin construction so that the deck can be framed in to hold your new whirlpool bathtub. When making your purchase, keep in mind the location of the whirlpool in your bathroom so that you can choose a model with a pump that can be accessed for service or changing parts. For example, if you plan to rough in your whirlpool tub between two walls, you may want to consider a tub with a pump on the side. Or, if you plan to install a whirlpool corner tub, you might want to consider a tub with a pump on a specific access point for ease of servicing.
Another point to consider prior to installation of your new whirlpool tub is that these tubs can weigh upwards of 1500 lbs, which exceeds the standard weight loads of residential flooring. As such, additional floor supports will need to be installed prior to installation of any framing for the tub.
If space is at a premium, you might want to consider a whirlpool tub shower combination, which gives you the benefit of both in a smaller space and makes cleaning a snap, especially if you decide to install a handheld spray head.
But if you are seeking the decadence of the golden age of the soak, consider investing in a Roman tub, so named for the original baths built by the Romans. Today, Roman tubs are considered any type of tub where the filler spout is mounted on the deck of the tub rather than coming out of the wall. Kohler’s high-flow tub filler uses a Roman spout that jets out 25 gallons per minute and can be used with a Roman tub or whirlpool tub.
Now that you’ve decided which whirlpool tub to buy, don’t be afraid to shop small and discount whirlpool supply places. They may not have the quantity of whirlpool tubs and parts in stock, but they may just carry your tub of choice at a far more reasonable rate.
