How Does A Corner Air Tub Differ From A Whirlpool?
Many people confuse and corner air tub with a whirlpool. A whirlpool discharges water at varying speeds through jets that empty into the side of the tub. This pulsating effect creates a vigorous massage to the body.
A corner air tub on the other hand, only discharges air through tiny holes in the tub. The air rises through the water to the surface and creates a champagne bubble effect. This gives the sensation of millions of tiny massagers all over your body.
Both the whirlpool and the corner air tubs are an effective at home hydrotherapy. Water therapy is a proven method to reduce stress (and it’s detrimental health effects) and promote relaxation. Many people with different muscle and joint disorders use hydrotherapy to reduce inflammation, promote circulation and reduce or alleviate pain.
The corner air tub usually has a control to adjust the intensity of the air bubbles. The corner air tub is a soothing more subtle massage. This can be good for folks who have frailty issues. If you are looking for a gentler water massage experience, the corner air tub may fulfill your needs.
Corner air tubs may take up less space than a whirlpool. The corner air tub requires minimal space for its pump and accessories. Since only air passes through the small jets into your corner air tub, the jets need little cleaning and maintenance. You do not have the deposits of water passing through the jets.
Some models are small enough to put corner air tubs into bathrooms that have very limited space available. Previous models were too bulky. Thanks to technology and modern invention; some of the smallest bathrooms can have a corner air tub installed. A bathroom with an appropriate four foot square available; may be a candidate for a corner air tub installation.
Corner air tubs accomplish their space saving magic by utilizing vertical space. The tubs do not have a big footprint that takes up floor space, but rather the corner air tub is deeper than other bathtubs. A bather can sit on the built in benches and be comfortably submerged in water up to the neck if the tub is full. The tubs are deep enough to accommodate very tall persons as well.
Most tubs are made of acrylic, fiberglass, Americlast, or an acrylic and fiberglass composite material. Americlast is a cast iron alternative available exclusively from American Standard Company. The material is the result of years of research and testing by American Standard. Americlast is 50% lighter than cast iron, but has all the strength and durability features. A few select models of corner air tubs are still available in cast iron. Consult the manufacturer for more details.
