Can I use bath oils or salts in a whirlpool bath?

You need to be careful about which products you use in a whirlpool bath to prevent damage to the system:

Safe to Use

·        Specially formulated whirlpool bath bubble bath

·        Products specifically labeled 'safe for whirlpool baths'

·        Water-soluble bath products

·        Approved whirlpool bath sanitizers and cleaners

Avoid Using

·        Standard bath oils (can clog pipes and jets)

·        Regular bath salts (may damage pump and pipework)

·        Oil-based bubble baths

·        Bath bombs (can block the system)

·        Products containing particles or glitter

Why These Restrictions?

·        Regular bath products can leave residue in pipes

·        Oils may coat internal components

·        Salt crystals can scratch surfaces

·        Debris can block jets and damage pumps

·        Some products affect water circulation

Recommendations

·        Always check product labels for whirlpool compatibility

·        If in doubt, contact the manufacturer

·        Use products sparingly even if approved

·        Run clean water through system after use

·        Regular cleaning helps prevent build-up

Following these guidelines will help maintain your whirlpool bath's performance and extend its lifespan. If you're unsure about a product, it's better to err on the side of caution.
