Jacuzzi: varieties and selection criteria

Jacuzzi is often referred to as a luxury with health benefits. Both characteristics in the statement are correct. This device really costs more than a regular bath and has a positive effect on the health of all family members.

New types of jacuzzis have appeared for half a century, but the selection criteria remain the same: efficiency, quality, aesthetic appearance, safe use.

Jacuzzi is a bathtub with a hydromassage function. This name took root not only in Russian, but also in other languages, despite the fact that the correct name of the first manufacturer and the surname of the inventor of this device is Yakuzzi.

It is noteworthy that these days hot tubs are considered more like a device for relaxation., and Candido Yakuzzi's invention was intended for treatment. A hot tub of the most primitive type helped Yakuzzi's brother recover from a severe injury. Regular procedures put the young man on his feet, proving its effectiveness, and Yakuzzi patented the technology.

Later, after the production of whirlpool baths was put on stream, the technology continued to improve. The Yakuzzi brothers received 250 patents for all design improvements. Today, the effectiveness of the jacuzzi is no longer surprising, so manufacturers focus on the design and dimensions of the device.

To understand what a hydromassage is, you need to look at the "filling" of a jacuzzi.

The first option was a bathtub to which one hose was connected. He created a directed flow of water and air, which set the water in motion and gave a massage effect.

Subsequently, the design was improved and integrated into the structure of the bath. In this form, the first jacuzzis appeared on sale in pharmacies and specialized stores.

Modern Jacuzzis are made up of several important elements.

• Bowl. This is a bathtub of greater depth and size than a standard non-massage bathtub. But a wider and deeper bowl is optimal, not the only option. Manufacturers produce models in different sizes and configurations. There are jacuzzis for individual parts of the body: legs, arms, head, as well as bowls combined with a shower. Their dimensions are compact, designed for small bathrooms.
• Water intake. Water from the bowl is collected in the water intake, and from there it enters the system of hoses and pipes to complete the cycle and return to the container through the nozzles. This creates the necessary pressure in the jets and a massage effect.
• Pumping system. With its help, the water circulates through the hose system, is saturated with oxygen and receives the necessary pressure in terms of power.

• Injectors. These are holes located in the walls and bottom of the thicket through which water returns to it. The jets are usually positioned so that the flow of water or air is directed to the specific parts of the body that need massage the most.
• Drain and overflow system. It helps to regulate the level of water in the bowl so that there is always enough water. It can be automatic and manual.
• Control system. It is necessary in order to turn on and off the operation of the massage system. Since the jacuzzi functions like a regular bathtub, if the system does not work, then manual control is simply necessary.And also it is designed to increase the pressure of massage flows and switch it to different parts of the body.
• Items for additional functions. The jacuzzi with hydromassage in the basic configuration does not imply advanced features, however, there are also more progressive models. They have built-in systems for the implementation of aromatherapy and ozone therapy, control of color lighting and multimedia gadgets.
• Plumbing items. These are taps, mixers, a drain system that drains water into the sewer system, filters that prevent debris from entering the drain, and a siphon.

The combination of these elements provides the workflow of the whirlpool tub.

The jacuzzi is gradually becoming the category of useful and necessary things in the house. The popularity of this device is due to its positive qualities and minimal disadvantages.

There are several significant advantages of a jacuzzi.

• Jacuzzi is an economical water consumption. The liquid simply circulates between the bowl, sump and hose system without going down the drain.
• The bowl can be used like a regular bath. It is advisable to wash before using the massage system, then the water will circulate exceptionally clean, and the effectiveness of the procedure will increase.
• Hydromassage is equally effective when the muscles need to be relaxed after a hard day at work, and when you need to cheer up and tune in to the day at work.

• In the first case, you need to use a hot bath, aromatic oils and intense massage, and in the second, a fairly low intensity in cool water. It is recommended to carry out procedures in hot water for a long time, and in cold water - no longer than 10 minutes.
• It is useful to change the temperature of the water in the jacuzzi. This leads to muscle tone, gives elasticity and firmness to the skin.
• Hydromassage systems dispel edema and all congestion in the body. It is difficult to compare a jacuzzi with a Charcot shower, for example, but it also promotes weight loss. Jacuzzi will not be able to replace proper nutrition and sports, but it will speed up the process completely. The cosmetic effect will be noticeable in the first few weeks.
• Jacuzzi has a healing effect on vascular and nervous diseases. Improves the condition with osteochondrosis and pain, fights muscle hypertonicity.

• The benefits of spa treatments at home are comparable to the effect of visiting a bath.
• Jacuzzi is popular with children and has a beneficial effect on the development of all systems of a growing organism.
• With proper care, the system will last more than a decade without replacing elements.
• The system is safe. It is equipped with a counter-current flow so there is no risk of electric shock even in humid environments.

Like many other plumbing equipment, massage baths have a number of disadvantages.

• The disadvantages of a jacuzzi in an apartment are still the high cost of installation compared to a regular bath or shower. But also limited opportunities for small bathrooms, the need to properly care for the spa bath, the presence of contraindications.
• Contraindications include hypertension, heart disease, skin disorders, infections, malignant tumors, and pregnancy.
• In the presence of pregnancy and diseases of the listed types, the jacuzzi is not useful and can even harm the body.
• Another important point is that you can use the jacuzzi like a regular bath, but all foam products and non-specialized oils will shorten the life of the device.

There are quite a few types of jacuzzi. Their main differences from each other are in the design, the location of the nozzles and their type, the method of massage action. By the type of construction, one can conditionally distinguish two types of jacuzzi: free-standing and combined.

Individual models, in turn, are presented in three types:

• with full-size bowls for the whole body;
• sedentary;
• for specific parts of the body.

At the same time, separate mini-jacuzzis for different parts of the body are not intended for all areas. For example, there is no jacuzzi for the back or hips, there are only models for the arms or legs.

Full-size and seated models are often combined. Their bowl is combined with a shower cabin or built into it. These types of jacuzzis are suitable for small spaces and owners who prefer a shower cabin for washing.

In all types of jacuzzi, jets act as a massage element, and they also have their own differences.

By size, they are divided into large and small. They are larger for larger areas, such as the hips and back, and smaller for the feet and neck.

In addition, the nature of the jet is different.

Allocate nozzles:

• microjet;
• rotating;
• vortex;
• swirling.

They have different effects on the body.

Another important criterion for distinguishing Jacuzzi is the type of massage. It depends on whether the system is equipped with a compressor or not.

There are three types in total.

• Hydromassage - carried out using jets of water under high pressure.
• Air massage - the effect is exerted by air under high pressure.
• Turbomassage is a combined effect of the first and second types. Many beauty industry and healthcare professionals find this to be the best option. Here, the action of one type of massage complements and enhances the action of the other. All possible problem areas are being worked out.

There is a Jacuzzi with additional facilities for wellness and beauty treatments. This is the presence of several important functions.

• Aromatherapy. It lies in the fact that various essential oils are added to the water. Some help to combat skin imperfections, improve tone, and have a beneficial effect on beauty. Some are needed for the treatment of the respiratory tract and the nervous system. Oils can tone the body, invigorate or calm the nervous system, and help fight insomnia and anxiety. They smell great and the scent is absorbed into the skin and hair in a humid environment.

• Chromotherapy. This is an innovation in the medical and beauty industry - treatment with color and light. For him, a jacuzzi with illumination of a certain color spectrum is used. Scientists have long proven the influence of colors. So, orange lighting invigorates, green soothes, some colors cheer you up, others set you up for a calm, pacified mood. And the backlight looks beautiful. In addition to the influence of the color itself, different wavelengths of light also have an effect. They perfectly complement hydromassage treatments.
• Ozone therapy. This is an active oxygen treatment. Water molecules are saturated with it, thereby reducing the level of inflammation, joint diseases and improving the condition of the skin.

The control system also differs. In combination models, this is usually a shower panel with buttons, and in free-standing bowls, it is a contactless or remote system. It is controlled by the remote control. Using the remote control, you can control the temperature of the water, if the system is heated, the intensity and direction of massage flows, lighting, radio and TV, if the bathroom is equipped with them. The remote control is included in the jacuzzi set.

The functions of the jacuzzi are not limited to therapeutic and cosmetic effects. In addition to having a practical function, it is also part of the bathroom interior, so it is important to consider the design of the product. The appearance of a whirlpool tub is determined by its size, shape and color.

Form is a very variable criterion. There are more than a dozen options.

• Rectangular. Jacuzzis in the shape of a rectangle are very convenient because, unlike the classic oval bowl, they get a larger depression due to the shape of the walls. The bowl is more spacious and is suitable for people with a large body weight or for two people at the same time.Often, it is rectangular jacuzzis that are equipped with a shower cabin, and among them there are interesting design options. For example, it could be a glass jacuzzi with a sunbed built into the bottom.

• Oval. This shape is as close as possible to the traditional shape of an acrylic bathtub. Its interior space is smaller than in a rectangular one, but the streamlined contours look aesthetically pleasing and soft. Thanks to the smooth line of the walls in the oval bowl, it is comfortable to lie and sit. In a classic white light, this option is optimal for a classic-style bathroom or without a specific style direction at all.
• Round. The original version with some restrictions in the choice. Round jacuzzis are not suitable for small bathrooms. It is difficult to place them against the wall, and the height of the sides suggests a small pedestal and steps so that it is convenient to get into the bathtub. A round jacuzzi should be large in diameter. Small things will not cope with their functions. Some parts of the body will be inaccessible to the massage jets. The round jacuzzi seamlessly integrates into classic interiors, Greek surroundings, home spa and nautical baths for two.

• Corner. Compact wall-mounted options are most often seated. Their height prevails over width. Corner Jacuzzis are usually semicircular in shape.
• Square. The jacuzzi of a square shape has a wide range of possibilities. Such a device can be both mini and double, with high sides, but at the same time it can be installed in a corner, close to the wall, which will save space.

• Curly. Complex shaped jacuzzis are less common on the market. They are installed in medium to large rooms, in bathrooms with special layouts, and are slightly more expensive than conventional ones. Whirlpool baths include asymmetric, hexagonal, octagonal, triangular, drop-shaped and other simple objects.
• Design. This category includes massage baths of the most unusual shapes with non-trivial finishes. It can be a jacuzzi-barrel with a lining of wood, a heart-shaped bathtub, a multi-stage design with a mosaic pattern, a jacuzzi-shell, any product to order.

In terms of size, whirlpool baths are conventionally divided into mini, medium and maxi.

Miniature Jacuzzis are designed for small apartments. As a rule, these are seated bathtubs, so they have a relatively short length - 130-150 cm and an average width - 50-70 cm. But the height of the font or bowl is a feature of small Jacuzzis. She can reach 100 cm and more. This allows the structure to compensate for the fact that in such a bath it is impossible to stretch out to its full height. The arrangement of the nozzles in the sit-type bathtub is slightly different than in the full-size bathtub.

A medium-sized Jacuzzi is designed for the dimensions of an average person in height and weight - their length is 170-180 cm, and their width is 70-80 cm. The height of the sides is usually less than 100 cm. In such a bath, you can already recline and stretch out at full height. It is more convenient and effective when complete relaxation is required.

Corner models are often medium in size. Their shape differs from the elongated classic bathtub and has the same width and length. With a depth of up to 1 meter, the corner bath can be from 140x140 cm to 180x180 cm.

Large hot tubs are designed for people with overweight and height, or for bathing in pairs. The double Jacuzzi is very wide. Dimensions of rectangular and oval models are closer to 180-190 cm in length and 150 cm in width. For square models, the minimum dimensions are from 150x150 cm. The depth is variable.

A hot tub or jacuzzi bowl is made from the same materials as conventional bathtubs. At the same time, the choice of material determines the aesthetic characteristics of the product and its performance.How often it will be necessary to wash off the plaque on the surface of the bath, how many years it will last, whether the bath will be light and fragile or shockproof and heavy - it all depends on the choice of material.

Various types of raw materials are popular. If we are not talking about an apartment, but about a private house, a sauna, a jacuzzi on the street, in a bath or a hammam, then it is important to use concrete structures here.

Concrete jacuzzis are durable, solid, the entire system of pipes and compressors is securely fixed with mortar. This is one of the cheapest options that allows you to fill a jacuzzi of any shape and configuration. The service life is from 20 years.

Concrete models also have drawbacks. It is not safe to fill such a bath in an apartment, repairing the internal water intake and supply system is difficult due to the fact that the structure can be buried in the ground or the foundation of the bath, concrete itself belongs to cold materials. It requires additional decorative finishes on top and good maintenance.

An alternative option for a private house is a wooden Jacuzzi. In the apartment, wood trim is also found, but it is rather an external cladding that hides all the functional elements of the system. The bowl itself is made of acrylic or stainless steel.

Jacuzzi made of wood has a number of advantages. It is an environmentally friendly material that can be shaped into any shape. It enhances the therapeutic effect of massage, creates a feeling of harmony with nature, and fits perfectly into many styles of bathroom interior. The wood is warm and keeps the water temperature at the required heat level for a long time.

But wood is quite expensive, and its service life in a humid and warm environment is less than that of a jacuzzi made of other materials. This is due to the fact that over time, the wood will begin to darken and rot, stains and defects may appear on it.

An option for both an apartment and a house is cast-iron fonts with an enamel coating. Cast iron is resistant to mechanical damage, high strength and durability. An external coating protects it from the negative effects of water. The coating looks beautiful and can have a different shade in both monochrome and color spectrum. The coating is easy to care for, it is not afraid of water and chemicals.

Cast iron baths weigh a lot. They are difficult to transport and require a good filling of the bathroom floor. Cast iron lasts longer than its lining.

Its properties are similar to cast iron whirlpool tubs made of steel.

• It is stainless, impact-resistant, durable, pliable material in processing. It fits harmoniously into many modern interiors; heating works great in steel structures.
• Stainless steel is easy to clean, the nozzles are almost invisible, it is non-slip and pleasant to use.
• Steel jacuzzis without a special coating on top have several disadvantages.
• They become covered with an ugly coating that can only be removed with a dry cloth.
• Do not clean steel products with abrasive substances - they will be scratched.
• When pouring water into a steel jacuzzi, it makes a much louder noise than acrylic, cast iron or wood. This noise is usually not to the liking of the nearest neighbors.

Acrylic jacuzzis are considered optimal for apartments. This polymer material looks beautiful, does not crack, does not darken, belongs to shock-resistant and durable, does not make noise and slowly gives off heat, it is ten times lighter than cast iron.

Acrylic as a raw material is very plastic. This allows you to make a jacuzzi of any shape and size from it and paint products in any color. Both traditional white jacuzzis and more daring options - red, black, with a pattern - look gorgeous in the interior of a modern bathroom.

A kind of acrylic is methacryl. These materials differ little in their properties, but transparent products can be made from methacryl. This opens up great possibilities for the design of the jacuzzi.

The addition of quartz sand to methacryl turns it into quaril, the most durable of polymeric materials. It surpasses its counterparts in all respects, but costs several times more and more in weight.

The inflatable jacuzzi should be noted separately. This is a convenient mobile structure made of PVC materials, which can be taken with you to the country or installed in an apartment. The aesthetics of inflatable jacuzzis are questionable, but practicality is one hundred percent.

Jacuzzi is a type of plumbing that is chosen for years, if not decades. When choosing a model, you need to take into account many parameters.

• Bathroom dimensions. The owners of apartments with spacious premises, including a bathroom, are more fortunate than the owners of typical panel houses or small-sized "Khrushchev" houses. The more square meters set aside for the bathroom, the larger the Jacuzzi you can afford. Jacuzzis of square, oval, rectangular form factor are suitable for spacious rooms. If desired, you can give preference to a round or curly model.

  On a medium-sized area, wall-mounted rectangular or oval fonts, which are close in size and shape to a regular bath, will look favorably.

  Small bathrooms, for example, in "Khrushchev", can accommodate corner Jacuzzis and combined with a shower cabin without compromising space.

• Jacuzzi shape. The bowl inside the jacuzzi can be flat, or it can have relief shapes. It is important to understand that for people of different heights and builds, the curly bottom of the bowl will be more or less convenient. If you pick up a bowl with a curly bottom that follows the contours of the body, according to the height of the tallest family member, a person with a smaller build may be uncomfortable. It is better to give preference to a jacuzzi with a simple and versatile bowl shape.
• Coating type. Most of the models available for every budget are made from resins and have an acrylic finish. It is important to pay attention to the thickness of the acrylic layer. The manufacturer usually indicates this data on the accompanying sticker on the product. It should be 4-5 millimeters. Such a reserve will protect the coating from cracking due to mechanical damage and temperature changes if the jacuzzi is used outdoors, and it will also be possible to sand the top layer so that the bath will regain its original appearance in a few years.

• Type and number of nozzles. The intensity and quality of the massage depends on the type of massage elements. The most effective are the models in which nozzles with powerful, directional and rotary action are combined - the jet has a spiral shape and a lower head. And also nozzles of different sizes should be combined to accurately hit problem areas. Not all manufacturers produce models with nozzles that have a safety valve. You will have to look for it, but the efforts will be rewarded.

The closed valve protects the jets from cleaning agents and debris when using the Jacuzzi as a regular bathtub. This significantly extends the service life without any problems.

It is also important to pay attention to how the nozzles are made and built. They should have smooth edges and not protrude too much from the "body" of the bowl. The massage elements sticking out in all directions will cause discomfort.

As for the number of injectors, they are calculated by the jets. Jets are grouped massage elements of the same type. In a regular jacuzzi, there should be at least 4, and better - 6-8.

More advanced modern and expensive models are equipped with at least 10 jets.

There are more jets, but the efficiency of such jacuzzis is lower than with 8-10. The fact is that with an increase in the number of nozzles, the pressure of the massage jet decreases. The best option is a jacuzzi with 6-10 jets.

• Control type. There are two types of systems - pneumatic and electronic.Pneumatic controls are cheaper and have limited functionality. Electronic is easier to operate and provides more options, but it is more expensive.

• Room type. Often I choose a jacuzzi for a bathroom in an apartment, but there are other common options - a summer cottage, a bathhouse, an open-air pool area. In all cases, you need to consider the type of material and how it behaves under certain conditions. For example, a concrete jacuzzi works best outside. It withstands changes in temperature and all weather conditions better than an acrylic or steel model.

Inside the washing room in the bath, polymer models show themselves well, you can also take a closer look at the wooden one. The wood will enhance the therapeutic effect and will look organic in a log bath or sauna. Aesthetics, lightness and ease of maintenance are important for an apartment. It is provided by all types of polymeric materials.

• The style that dominates the decoration. In a large and luxurious bathroom with stone finishes, beautiful tiles and a pronounced style, a pretentious oversized bathtub with decorative elements will look appropriate. For a minimalist bathroom of a small size, an ergonomic modern model is more suitable. The jacuzzi made of transparent kuaril and combined with a shower model looks good.

For bathrooms without a pronounced style, corner and oval models are universal.

There are a lot of options. It is important that the bathroom finish and the jacuzzi model are in harmony with each other. Here you need to take into account the decoration of the walls with the floor, and the materials from which the rest of the plumbing is made, and the colors and decorative elements.

• The state of health and physiological characteristics of all family members. Not everyone can enjoy the spa effect of the jacuzzi. Such procedures are contraindicated for people with heart disease, skin disorders, thrombosis and some types of infections and oncological diseases. In this case, it is worth refraining from buying a jacuzzi. It is important to consider children's age and family members with disabilities. If there are children in the house, it is safer to use a Jacuzzi with a minimum depth of 42-45 cm.

• For invalids you need to provide a handrail and choose a model with a door. The model itself is better to choose a seated one, with greater depth than length.

• Manufacturer. There are a lot of stereotypes about manufacturers from different countries, but Italian plumbing may not always turn out to be first-class, and Chinese - bad. It is important to pay attention to how many years the company has been producing the product, what demand it is in demand, what guarantees the manufacturer gives, and what accompanying documentation is attached to the product. If a model is released according to the European standard or GOST and has a warranty period, then it does not matter where it was released.
• User reviews and recommendations. Before buying a jacuzzi, it makes sense to spend a little time and study the reviews, ratings, recommendations of ordinary plumbing users. As a rule, the merits and demerits pointed out by disinterested persons are more believable than the seller's assurances.

The rating of the best manufacturers in the domestic market is unstable, so there is no clear leader.

The original plumbing of the luxury segment is the Jacuzzi of the pioneering company Jacuzzi, as well as the German concern Villeroy & Boch... The products of these companies collect extremely rave reviews for their quality and luxurious design, but not everyone can afford such an expensive purchase.

More acceptable for a Russian buyer are price tags for an Italian manufacturer Teuco... Teuco sanitary ware combines excellent quality, modern design, ease of use and efficiency. Be careful when connecting. Due to the differences between GOST and European standards, difficulties may arise that can only be settled by a professional customizer.

In the middle price category is the sanitary ware of the Belgian brand Aqua relax.

All models have a laconic and beautiful design, several modes of operation and programs, remote control. Simple enough to connect.

It is not only overseas production that is receiving positive feedback. Russia is included in the list of demanded manufacturers largely due to more affordable prices and simple service. When purchasing domestic products, you do not have to overpay for customs duties, an eminent brand and parts for repair. In the event of malfunctions, the manufacturer will carry out a warranty repair within a short period of time.

Among Russian firms, the company has won the trust "Radomir"... Judging by user reviews and the manufacturer's promises, Radomir is affordable, good quality plumbing. The model line is very diverse: from a jacuzzi of the basic configuration to a full-fledged home theater in the bathroom.

Jacuzzis are made "Radomir" in semi-automatic production with manual revision of parts. The cover is made of a thick layer of acrylic, which can withstand heavy loads and mechanical shock. The models are fully equipped with all the necessary accessories. Bonus to the merits - noise insulation during the operation of the hydromassage system.

Large, comfortable, powerful jacuzzis in a complete set are produced by the company Triton... Some users, in addition to laudatory reviews, note that the shower stand has not been thought out. The company competes with her Appollo.

Bas - a Russian manufacturer using European raw materials has managed to establish itself in the market. The company offers reasonable prices, high quality, beautiful design, wide assortment and good guarantees. Their warranty period is 2, and for some models 4 times longer than that of other manufacturers.

Manufacturer Intex - one of the few who produces inflatable Jacuzzi. It is a practical, lightweight and affordable option.

Connecting a jacuzzi with your own hands is a delicate question. It requires not only some plumbing and electrical work skills, but also the permission of the housing authorities. Since a jacuzzi differs from a regular bathtub in that it uses electricity during operation, and the system comes into contact with water, it is considered potentially dangerous to life and health.

In practice, there is no risk of electric shock, if the jacuzzi is connected to a separate RCD in accordance with all safety regulations. In the event of an accident or abnormal situation, the RCD will simply turn off the system. You can connect it yourself, but it is better to entrust the work to a professional. This ensures the safety of family members.

For permission, you will need a drawing indicating all communications, electrical wiring and a package of documents required for redevelopment. A pedestal for a jacuzzi, steps and similar decorative elements that will increase the total weight of the object are also applied to the plan. The load should not exceed the permissible rate.

Installation is a lengthy process. It is performed in stages.

• The first stage is preparatory. It takes a lot of time to prepare the base for a heavy structure. A strong tie and support system is required. At the same time, it is impossible to mount close to the wall, since maintenance and repair work involves moving the jacuzzi. At the same stage, it is necessary to dismantle the old bathtub and redevelop, bring electrical wiring to connect the device, and waterproof it. The floor and walls also need waterproofing. Filters are installed on the pipes.
• The second stage is the choice of plumbing and electronics, which are not included with the jacuzzi. These are sockets, wires, fittings, mixers, pipes.

• The third stage is installation. Before connecting the jacuzzi to communications, you need to turn off the water and turn off the power. An important point: the jacuzzi is installed after the completion of the renovation and decorative finishing in the bathroom.This is necessary so that the auxiliary elements of the system are not damaged during repair work.
• The fourth stage is to check the system performance.

The entire installation process takes several days. Failures that occurred during installation by an untrained person are not considered a warranty case. If you have the slightest doubts about your abilities, it is better to entrust the work to specialists.

In order for a hot tub to serve for a long time and not lose its effectiveness, two simple rules must be observed: regular maintenance and timely repairs.

Jacuzzi accessories inevitably wear out before the bowl itself. Some parts will need to be replaced every ten years. The best option for this is to use "native" spare parts, that is, from the same manufacturer. It is advisable to purchase all spare parts in advance so that they correspond as much as possible to the original configuration.

It is important to install filtration on the hot and cold water pipes to ensure that the auxiliary components remain in good working order for longer. Filters should be not only large-caliber, but also small.

And the system also clogs up if you wash in a jacuzzi like in a regular bath with the hydromassage turned on. This is not recommended by the manufacturer, nor is the use of essential oils in a Jacuzzi that does not have an aromatherapy function. Fatty components of oils clog nozzles and pipes. It is better to make oil mixtures and drip them into the aroma lamp next to the jacuzzi, rather than clog the plumbing.

Regular maintenance is responsible for the safety of the system and appearance.

At the level of daily procedures, it is necessary to dry the bathroom so that dampness does not stagnate in it. But it is also important to rinse the jacuzzi bowl with cool water and wipe its surface with a soft dry cloth. The lack of moisture in the bowl will protect it from rust.

At the level of monthly procedures, disinfection is important. If the function is not built into the jacuzzi model, do it yourself. You can use a weak bleach solution or ready-made products. 50-100 ml of the solution should be poured into a jacuzzi filled with water 5-10 cm above the upper row of nozzles, turn on the pump for half a minute, then leave the bath for 15-20 minutes and drain the water. After that, you need to run a pump with clean water in the font to get rid of the chlorine smell.

Once a year, the system needs to be cleaned of stone deposits, this is how it works. To do this, 1.5-2 liters of acetic acid of 7% concentration are poured into a filled jacuzzi, the system is flushed, the pump is turned off and the water-vinegar solution is left overnight. In the morning, you can rinse the entire system with cool water.

Scratches on acrylic are carefully rubbed with fine grain sandpaper. Car polish can be applied on top and the Jacuzzi will shine like new again.
