What is the weight of a whirlpool bath?
A whirlpool system adds only modest weight to a standard bath:
Additional Components Weight
· Water pump: approximately 6kg
· Air blower (if fitted): approximately 3kg
· Pipework and fittings: 1-2kg maximum
· Total system weight: typically 10-11kg
This minimal weight increase means:
· No special floor reinforcement needed
· Standard bath installation methods apply
· Normal bathroom flooring suitable
· Standard wall mounting appropriate
· Traditional joist structures adequate
The main weight consideration for any bath installation remains the combined weight of:
· The bath itself
· Water content (1 litre = 1kg)
· Bather(s)
The additional weight of a whirlpool system is negligible compared to these factors and shouldn't influence installation decisions. Any floor suitable for a standard bath will easily accommodate a whirlpool version.
