Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

The benefits of massage procedures while bathing in the bath were voiced by doctors back in 1936. Already 12 years later, Candido Jacuzzi created the first sanitary ware with hydro massage. Over time, the word “jacuzzi” has become a household name, it means a bath with hydromassage. Today on the Russian market there is a wide range of plumbing equipment with massage systems. With the help of our experts, we will try to highlight the main selection criteria.

Selection recommendations

Material. Baths made of several materials are on sale.

1. The most popular are acrylic designs. The optimal wall thickness is considered to be 5-6 mm, this is enough for the safe adoption of water procedures even for two adult users. Manufacturers offer a wide variety of shapes and sizes. At the same time, acrylic products are lightweight, which simplifies the process of moving and connecting.
2. Pig iron is gradually losing ground. The main disadvantage is its heavy weight. The choice of shapes and sizes looks quite modest. The advantages of cast iron models include low noise level, slow water cooling and durability.
3. Steel is a strong and durable material. The models are lightweight and low in price. But when filling with water, a high level of noise is generated, the water in the bath does not remain warm for long.
4. The most expensive baths are made of natural or artificial stone. Such models are appreciated for the variety of colors, high strength, exclusive design and durability. The downside is the high price and heavy weight.

The form. The assortment of forms of whirlpool baths looks quite rich.

1. The rectangular design is considered a classic of the genre. It attracts with its versatility of installation and traditional appearance.
2. Corner baths come with the same or different sides in length. They are distinguished by their original design and the ability to save space in a cramped room. But their price is higher than that of the timeless classics.
3. More and more manufacturers include bathtubs with non-standard shapes in their catalogs. They will become a lifesaver for lovers of exclusiveness. But the cost of the products can be an unpleasant surprise.

Types of massage systems. Various massage systems can be installed in the bath.

1. Hydromassage is a set of nozzles (4-8 pcs) through which water is supplied. They can be installed in the area of ​​the back, legs, neck.
2. Aeromassage is a stream of air coming out of the holes in the bath. The number of air nozzles can vary from 8 to 15.
3. Air / water currents are generated in Turbopool models where both air and water jets are running at the same time.
4. A useful option would be to adjust the intensity of the massage. Some users with high skin sensitivity are unable to withstand vigorous body massage.

Control. In order to control massage systems, several options have been invented.

1. The simplest and most reliable is mechanical (pneumatic) control. It is carried out using the usual handles.
2. Electronic control has become a more modern way. All settings and adjustments take place through the touch panel. It can be supplemented with a display and indicator lights. Thanks to the electronic filling, the operation of massage systems can be programmed, individual settings can be memorized.
3. Anti-slip bottom coating. In some baths, a very thin film with a relief is applied to the bottom surface or notches are made in order to increase the adhesion of the feet to the base. This option is especially important for older people and awkward users.
