Creating a spa-like experience in the comfort of your own home is a dream for many, and with an Air Therapy Bathtub, that dream can become a reality.
These modern bathtubs offer more than just a place to soak—they provide a therapeutic experience designed to relax the mind, rejuvenate the body, and elevate your bathing routine to a whole new level.
What’s the Difference Between a Jetted Tub and an Air Tub?
When you think of a jetted tub, you probably imagine the powerful streams of water that massage your muscles, helping to relieve tension and soothe aches and pains. However, Air Therapy Bathtubs take a different approach to relaxation. While jetted tubs use water, air tubs rely on, you guessed it—air.
How Air Tubs Work
Air tubs are equipped with an air blower that pushes air toward a distributor, which then directs the air through multiple jets installed within the bathtub floor. As the air travels through the system, it is heated, creating a warm and soothing bathing experience. The result is a gentle, effervescent massage that envelops your body in a cloud of tiny, relaxing bubbles.
Do Air Tubs Get Mold?
Air tubs are less prone to mold and mildew compared to water jetted tubs.
One of the primary benefits of air tubs over traditional jetted tubs is the reduced risk of mold and mildew. Since air tubs use air instead of water, the system remains relatively dry between uses. The self-cleaning feature of air tubs further enhances their hygiene, as the system purges any excess water after each use, ensuring a clean and mold-free environment.
The InspireStone® stone composite material used in our tubs is specifically designed to resist mold and mildew, making it an ideal choice for those concerned about maintaining a clean and healthy bathroom environment.
While the air massage system regularly purges excess water after each use, we recommend turning the blower on occasionally, especially if you primarily use the tub as a soaker. This will help eliminate any water that may have been sitting in the jets for an extended period, further reducing the risk of mold.
Do Air Tubs Have Heaters?
Yes, air tubs are equipped with heaters that warm the air before it is pushed through the jets.
This ensures that the bubbles released into the tub are warm and comforting, enhancing your bathing experience. The warm air creates a soothing atmosphere that helps to relax your muscles and calm your mind, making your bath truly therapeutic.
Can You Use Soap in an Air Tub?
One of the great advantages of air tubs is their compatibility with bath products. Unlike jetted tubs, which can be prone to clogging, air tubs handle oils, salts, and bath bombs with ease.
So, if you’re someone who enjoys a bath filled with bubbles, luxurious bath oils, or scented bath bombs, an air tub is the perfect choice for you. Indulge in your favorite bath products without worrying about damaging the system or clogging the jets.
What is the Purge Cycle of an Air Jet Tub?
The purge cycle is a key feature of air tubs that ensures they remain clean and free of residual water.
After you finish your bath, the system will wait for about 20 minutes before automatically starting the purge cycle. During this cycle, the system blows air into the tub to remove any water that may be lingering in the channels or surrounding the injectors.
This process helps to keep the system dry, clean, and ready for your next relaxing bath.
Creating a Spa Experience at Home
One of the most appealing aspects of an Air Therapy Bathtub is the ability to create a spa-like experience in your own home. Imagine coming home after a long day and being able to unwind in a warm, bubbling bath that soothes your muscles and melts away stress.
With the touch of a button on the remote control, you can adjust the intensity of the bubbles to your liking, allowing you to fully relax and immerse yourself in the experience.
The system is designed to be user-friendly, with a remote control that allows you to adjust the settings while you’re in the tub. Whether you prefer a gentle bubble massage or a more intense experience, you can customize your bath to suit your mood and needs.
Additionally, air tubs do not require any special maintenance, making them a convenient choice for homeowners who want to enjoy the benefits of a luxurious bath without the hassle of extensive upkeep. With their self-cleaning purge cycle and mold-resistant materials, air tubs are designed to remain in excellent condition with minimal effort on your part.
