Can I use essential oils or aromatherapy with my whirlpool bath?

You need to be careful with essential oils in whirlpool baths as they can damage the system if not used correctly:

Safe Options

·        Use specially designed whirlpool-safe aromatherapy products

·        Water-soluble aromatherapy products marked 'safe for whirlpool baths'

·        Aromatherapy tablets designed for jet systems

·        Approved whirlpool-safe bath essences

Avoid

·        Pure essential oils directly in the water

·        Oil-based aromatherapy products

·        Standard bath oils

·        Any products not specifically approved for whirlpool systems

·        DIY aromatherapy mixtures

Why the Caution?

·        Oils can coat pipes and jets

·        May damage seals and gaskets

·        Could affect pump performance

·        Risk of system blockage

·        Might void warranty

Alternative Approaches

·        Use room diffusers around the bathroom

·        Place essential oil drops on tiles near bath (not in water)

·        Consider chromotherapy options built into some models

·        Use approved aromatherapy crystals

·        Install an approved aromatherapy dispenser system

Always check your warranty and user manual before using any aromatherapy products, and if in doubt, contact the manufacturer for specific guidance.
