Can I control the temperature of the water in my whirlpool bath?
Understanding temperature control in whirlpool baths:
Initial Water Temperature
· Temperature is controlled by your hot and cold taps
· Thermostatic taps are available for precise temperature control
· These prevent scalding and maintain consistent filling temperature
· Standard safe bathing temperature is up to 35-37°C
Maintaining Temperature
· Standard whirlpool baths don't include water heaters
· Water will gradually cool during use, like a normal bath
· Unlike hot tubs, whirlpool baths are designed for shorter bathing sessions
· Most users find water stays comfortable for typical 20-30 minute bath
Optional Inline Heaters
· Can be fitted as an optional extra
· Maintains water temperature during longer bathing
· Only suitable for straight-piped models
· Cannot be fitted to corner baths or bow-fronted designs due to curved pipework
· Professional installation required
Hot Tubs vs Whirlpool Baths
· Hot tubs are designed for longer use, hence built-in heaters
· Hot tubs recirculate the same water for days/weeks
· Whirlpool baths are filled fresh for each use
· Different design purposes require different heating solutions
Most users find a heater unnecessary as the bath retains heat well for normal bathing duration. However, if you prefer longer soaks, ask about our inline heater options for compatible models.
