Corner baths with hydromassage: types, sizes and selection rules

A few years ago, a whirlpool bath was considered a luxury. Today it is available to many. Especially popular with buyers are corner hot tubs. The material in this article will introduce the reader to their varieties, pluses and minuses, as well as the nuances of choosing such plumbing.

The hot tub is nothing more than a jacuzzi in the form of a fan opened 90 degrees. This is a functional and useful device that allows you to relax after a hard day's work. The principle of operation of the product is as follows: water entering the bath enters the hydromassage system, connecting with air. The oxygen-rich water stream under pressure enters the bath, where it acts on the user.

The quality of the hydromassage depends on the configuration and number of nozzles. The smaller the bath, the smaller them. At the same time, corner models may differ in bowl depth. The location of the hydromassage elements is also different. Usually they are aimed at the most problematic places: lower back, neck, feet.

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

Such bathtubs are controlled by a remote control, through which you can choose the optimal power of 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 bathtubs with hydromassage include beneficial effect on the user's body. They remove toxins from the body, help improve blood circulation, relax muscle tissue. They can be called the prevention of certain diseases. For example, they help to eliminate cellulite, ridding the skin of the characteristic “orange peel”.

As practice has shown, hydromassage baths relieve pain associated with diseases of the musculoskeletal system. After their application physical activity improves.

However, no matter how useful and aesthetically attractive the corner bathtub with hydromassage is, in addition to its advantages, it also has drawbacks. For example, it does not fit in a small room. In addition, corner models are not as convenient as conventional ones. In addition, they consume a lot of water. The bills for it with the purchase of such plumbing are noticeably increasing.

Moreover, the product does not have a shower, it only has a tap. In order to wash, you have to install a shower. Hydromassage bathtubs are not designed for traditional washing. Their main purpose is rest or relaxation. They work from the network, and this is an additional cost for electricity.

Relate to the minuses and prices of hot tubs. They are much more expensive than their traditional counterparts. The average cost of such a product reaches 50,000 rubles. Another disadvantage is called care by customers: they have to be washed every time after use.

It is worth noting that not everyone can use the jacuzzi bathtub. For those who have diseases of the cardiovascular system, it is contraindicated. It is undesirable to take such a bath for people with varicose veins.

In the manufacture of hot tubs, acrylic, cast iron and steel are used. Leading manufacturers produce products from raw materials of the acrylic group. The surface of these bathtubs is pleasant to the touch, it does not slip and has optimal thermal insulation. Acrylic bowls are resistant to mechanical and weight loads.

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

Cast iron varieties are impressive weight. They are strong, reliable and durable. Their working resource is an order of magnitude more impressive than acrylic. They need restoration no earlier than a few decades later. Cast iron bowls hold heat well. The disadvantage of these products is considered high cost.

Steel hot tubs are not inferior in strength to cast iron and acrylic analogues. They weigh 3 times less than cast iron, are characterized by ease of installation, ease of transportation, reasonable price. Their only drawback is the inability to retain heat - the water in them cools very quickly.

The sizes of corner bathtubs with hydromassage depend on their shape and customer demand. There are variants of the standard (symmetric) and asymmetric type on sale. In addition to the traditional quarter-circle shape, the product may look like a drop or petal. The most common size for corner models are dimensions of 150x150 cm at a depth of 70 cm.

The selection of the best angular hot tub is carried out taking into account several criteria. To begin with, they are determined with the form. In addition to the basic configuration, pay attention to the type of curves. Usually corner bathtubs are taken in small rooms, and therefore the shape should be streamlined. This will prevent injury to the user if the edges of the bowl are accidentally touched.

In corner models, bowls can be sold separately, and therefore an affordable price quickly bribes 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 build quality. It is better to buy a bathtub with a hydromassage where there is a guarantee and post-warranty service. Alarming factors should be:

• unknown manufacturer;
• lack of installation services;
• lack of instructions and other documentation;
• unrealistically high cost.

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

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