Create Your Own Private Spa With A Small Whirlpool Tub
In the 1960’s and 1970’s small whirlpool bathtubs became popular in America. Often called Jacuzzi, a whirlpool bathtub contains a series of jets circulating water and propelling it forcefully back into the tub, very similar to the small jetted bathtubs.
Created by the Jacuzzi brothers, Jacuzzi is really a brand of hot tub that has become so popular that the name itself is branded and intermingled as any set of jets in a tub. The brothers originally began making aircraft propellers, but when one of them died a brother decided to use his company’s expertise to develop a bathtub pump that was submersible in water.
In 1948, Candido Jacuzzi created whirlpool treatments in his own bathtub for his 15 month old son Kenneth who suffered from rheumatoid arthritis. In 1955, the brothers began marketing the pump calling it the J-300, which was a portable device that could be used in any bathtub.
As its use grew and its benefits were recognized by the medical community, Candido developed the first small whirlpool bathtubs in 1968. The fully equipped bathtub came equipped with jets installed into the sides of the tub. Its popularity grew among Hollywood celebrities who purchased them for their homes for use inside and out. Suzanne Somers was one of the first celebrity endorsements that the now Jacuzzi tub received in the early 1970’s.
Today most new homes as well as hotel rooms have small whirlpool bathtubs by Jacuzzie as their standard small size bathtubs as well as outdoor tubs in backyards, hotel pools, apartment complex common areas and more. The most well known whirlpool tub, the Jacuzzi took the world by storm and has not let go. Ski resorts have outdoor whirlpool tubs in the snow, for the most amazing experience of mixing hot with cold.
Small whirlpool bathtubs can be installed in any size bathroom. They tend to take up less room than the standard and traditional bathtub that measures 5 feet in length. Individual homes can have a little spa of their own with a whirlpool bathtub, a hot towel rack, big soft towels, candles, soft music, bubbles and more. Everyone from a frazzled mother to a business executive after a long hard day, can escape to their own private retreat and feel the stress of the world escape them.
The medical benefits are not small. Small whirlpool bathtubs aid in the relief of any arthritic condition or muscle strain. Known as hydrotherapy, pain from muscle aches, strains, pulls and tears can be eased by regular use of a whirlpool bath. The jet pressure acts as a massaging agent while the wet heat permeates the muscle tissue, relaxing it better than any prescription medication can. As a relaxation tool, a whirlpool bath can ease the tension right out of your body.
Those who choose bathtubs for small bathrooms are creating their own private spa at home with multiple benefits and a vast array of appealing designs. Compliment your whirlpool bathtub with other soothing accessories such as a towel warmer, candles, music and an array of soothing scents.
