How much water does a whirlpool bath use compared to a regular bathtub?
A whirlpool bath uses the same amount of water as a standard bath of the same size - the only difference is the addition of the jet system:
Water Usage Facts
· Water consumption depends on bath size, not jet system
· Standard bath sizes typically hold 150-200 litres
· Larger luxury baths may hold 250-300 litres
· Compact models can use as little as 130 litres
· Jets must be covered for proper operation
Water Conservation Tips
· Only fill to minimum required level (just above jets)
· Choose an appropriately sized bath for your needs
· Consider compact models for smaller households
· Use bath water for garden irrigation afterwards
· Install water-efficient taps
Bath Size Guide
· Small baths (1500mm): 130-160 litres
· Standard baths (1700mm): 150-200 litres
· Large baths (1800mm+): 200-300 litres
· Corner baths: Varies by design
Remember: The whirlpool system itself doesn't require extra water - it simply circulates the same water you'd use in a standard bath through the jets. The key factor in water consumption is the size and shape of your chosen bath, not whether it's a whirlpool model or not.
