Types of bathtubs

Hot tubs are made of various materials and care for a bath with a hydromassage, respectively, is also different:

• Injection marble. This is probably one of the few care products that are easy to clean. The coating style is such that there is no need to use any solutions, products, etc. A soapy solution is enough for them. To refresh the product, the use of automotive or special soft polishes is allowed.
• Steel, cast-iron bathtubs - the enameled bathtub can clog when using abrasive products. It is better to use gels, foams, creams. It is possible to use abrasive products, if there are valves that close the nozzles.
• Acrylic bathtubs - the use of hard brushes and materials is prohibited, since acrylic is a very delicate material. The use of acetone and other solvents is also prohibited. Cleaning products should be in the form of a cream, foam, gel, not containing abrasive substances. For example: an ordinary powder can scratch a surface.

Principle of operation

The entire hydromassage system has:

• The “heart” is an electric pump needed to support the non-stop water cycle throughout the system. He directs water to the nozzles.
• A nozzle is an overlay with many small holes made of plastic or metal. Usually there are several of them, and the more, the better the effect. They can be located both on the bottom and on the walls of the bath.

Important! This creates the effect of massage of the place where the stream of water is directed.

If we take a more complex system, then it includes:

• Compressor operating synchronously with the pump. The compressor mixes air into the water stream and runs to the nozzles.
• Mini nozzles create a tickling effect due to bubbles.
• There is also a built-in pneumatic or automatic control unit. In order to select the operating mode, either touch displays or pneumatic buttons are used.
