Corner baths with hydromassage: types, sizes and selection rules

A few years ago, a hydromassage bath was considered a luxury. Today it is available to many. Corner whirlpools are especially popular with buyers. The material in this article will acquaint the reader with their varieties, pros and cons, as well as the nuances of choosing such plumbing.

A hot tub is nothing more than a jacuzzi in the shape of a fan open to 90 degrees. It is a functional and useful device that allows you to relax after a hard day at work. The principle of operation of the product is as follows: the water drawn into the bath enters the hydromassage system, connecting with the air. The oxygen-enriched water stream under pressure enters the bath where it acts on the user.

The quality of the hydromassage depends on the configuration and the number of jets. The smaller the bathtub, the less of them. In this case, corner models may differ in the depth of the bowl. The arrangement of hydromassage elements is also different. Usually they are directed to the most problematic areas: lower back, neck, feet.

The laconic models are equipped with a single operating mode. Expensive analogs have a complex built-in system. It can provide not only sinusoidal, but also pulsating massage. In addition, on sale you can see products for aromatherapy, magnetotherapy, as well as designs with built-in lighting.

Such baths are controlled by a remote control, through which you can select the optimal power of the water massage. Some varieties have a disinfection system. Hot tubs are good for people with chronic fatigue.They are suitable for those whose work involves constant stress.

The advantages of corner hydromassage baths include beneficial effect on the user's body... They remove toxins from the body, improve blood circulation, and relax muscle tissue. They can be called the prevention of certain diseases. For example, they contribute to the elimination of cellulite by removing the characteristic "orange peel" from the skin.

Practice has shown that whirlpool baths relieve pain associated with diseases of the musculoskeletal system. After applying them physical activity improves.

However, no matter how useful and aesthetically attractive a corner hydromassage bathtub is, in addition to its advantages, it also has disadvantages. For example, it can't fit in a small room. In addition, corner models are not as comfortable as conventional ones. They also consume a lot of water. The bills for it with the purchase of such plumbing increase markedly.

At the same time, the product does not have a shower, it only has a tap. In order to wash, you have to install a shower stall. Whirlpool baths are not designed for traditional washing. Their main purpose is rest or relaxation. They work from the network, and this is an additional expenditure on electricity.

The prices of whirlpool baths are also a disadvantage. They are much more expensive than their traditional counterparts. The average cost of such a product reaches 50,000 rubles. Another disadvantage buyers call care: you have to rinse the nozzles every time after use.

It should be noted that not everyone can use the jacuzzi bath. For those who have diseases of the cardiovascular system, it is contraindicated. It is undesirable to take such a bath and people with varicose veins.

The whirlpool baths are manufactured using acrylic, cast iron and steel. Leading manufacturers produce products from raw materials of the acrylic group. The surface of these bathtubs is pleasant to the touch, it is non-slip and has optimal thermal insulation. Acrylic bowls are resistant to mechanical stress and weight.

They combine the best qualities of cast iron and steel. The best modifications of the line are acrylic baths, which include quartz. The color scheme is varied. Laconic products are made in white. In addition to them, there are products on sale in red, black, pink and other colors.

Cast iron varieties are distinguished by an impressive weight. They are strong, reliable and durable. Their working life is much more impressive than acrylic ones. They need restoration no earlier than in a few decades. Cast iron bowls keep warm well. The disadvantage of these products is the high cost.

Steel hydromassage bathtubs are not inferior in strength to cast iron and acrylic counterparts... They weigh 3 times less than cast iron, are distinguished by ease of installation, ease of transportation, and an acceptable price. Their only drawback is the inability to retain heat - the water in them cools down very quickly.

The dimensions of corner hydromassage baths depend on their shape and customer demand. On sale there are options for the typical (symmetrical) and asymmetric type. In addition to the traditional quarter-circle shape, the product can look like a drop or a petal. The most common size for corner models is 150x150 cm with a depth of 70 cm. In addition, on sale you can find options with parameters 160x160x60, 155x155x70, 145x145x60, 168x16870, 150x109x60, 150x150x63, 150x158x52 cm.

The selection of the best corner whirlpool tub is based on several criteria. To begin with, they are determined with the form. In addition to the basic configuration, attention is paid to the type of rounding. Usually corner baths are taken in small rooms, and therefore the shape should be streamlined. This will prevent injury to the user if accidentally touching the edges of the bowl.

In corner models, bowls can be sold separately, and therefore an affordable price quickly captivates a potential buyer. Sellers may not initially say that additional accessories (from the mixer to the removable front panel) sometimes have to be purchased separately. As a result, the final amount is often more than for a product with a complete set.

When choosing a product, you need to take into account the technical component. It is important to pay attention not only to the build quality. It is better to purchase a whirlpool bath where there is a guarantee and post-warranty service. Alarming factors should be:

• too low price for a complete set;
• unknown manufacturer;
• lack of installation services;
• lack of instructions and other documentation;
• unrealistically high cost.

Appearance is also an important purchase criterion. Plumbing in the interior should look harmonious. You need to take an option that is appropriate in a specific style, suitable for color and design solutions.

When the style requires something special, they buy models of an unusual shape or options with glass inserts and backlighting. Such baths become key elements of the interior, they give it a novelty and high status.The form of modifications can be angular or streamlined, with or without sides.
