Whirlpool Tubs

Are you ready to discover the whirlpool tub you'll fall in love with? Here's everything you need to know about these types of tubs to help you find the perfect match.

 

Highlights

Owning a drop in whirlpool jet tub gives you access to hydrotherapy whenever you need it. The jets pulse water to help massage and relax your muscles, which also helps your mind relax and unwind after a long day.

Drop in whirlpool tubs are finished on all sides and have a rim or lip that fastens to the top of the frame. The rim is the only visible part of the tub, with the rest concealed by other materials. This feature makes keeping water inside the tub easy, so they're ideal if you prefer soaking in deeper tubs.

 

Materials

Whirlpool tubs are often made from acrylic. This material is resistant to cracking, scratching, and chipping. It's also durable, lightweight, and relatively simple to install. Additionally, acrylic is versatile, which means that you'll have many more options when you shop.

 

Soaking Depth

Soaking depths can range from 14" to 21" — and the deeper the tub, the more luxurious your experience. Soaking tubs should have a depth of at least 14" for optimal comfort. A more shallow soaking depth could potentially accommodate children, while a deeper tub can make for a more relaxing soak for adults.

 

Tub Length

The Vintage Tub & Bath whirlpool tubs range from 53" to 72". You'll want to ensure your tub has additional space around it if you're getting a freestanding whirlpool tub. The rule is usually six inches around. You'll also want to make sure your tub is long enough for you to fit comfortably inside.

 

Installation Type

Common whirlpool tub installation types include:

  • Alcove 
  • Freestanding 
  • Drop in

Alcove tubs fit in a three-sided enclosure and are excellent for small spaces, and freestanding tubs stand on their own with nothing surrounding them. On the other hand, drop in tubs fit neatly inside a framed enclosure.

Keep in mind that freestanding tubs aren't as space-efficient as the other two options, but they are often the easiest to install. Also, drop in tubs require a frame before installation, while alcove tubs need pre-built space.

 

Tub Drillings

Tub drillings could include an overflow hole or a space for the faucet. Faucet holes are significant for acrylic tubs. Some tubs will have a rolled rim, meaning no faucet drillings exist. These only work with freestanding or wall-mounted faucets. Otherwise, you'll have either a tap deck or drillings inside the tub wall.

 

Style

Modern bathtubs feature sharper angles and a minimalist look. These look great in bathrooms that already have this style of decor. Traditional bathtubs have a more classic look and can sometimes be more versatile. You can easily pair these tubs with most bathroom decor.

 

Drain Location

Your bathtub drain can be in your tub's right, left, or center. The location of your drain matters because it needs to match the plumbing beneath it. You'll want to buy a tub that lines up with your pipes to ensure it works with your plumbing.

 

Finish

White finishes are probably the most popular; they're clean and chic and often match a homeowner's current fixtures. Black is also a striking option, especially if you want a more modern bathroom. Other finishes, like gray or biscuit, give your tub some character and might match better with some design aesthetics.

Certain finishes will require different maintenance to keep them looking their best.

 

Shape

There are many shape options, such as oval, rectangular, circle, and square. While deciding which shape is your preference, you'll also want to pick something that matches your bathroom's layout. Some tubs won't fit in specific layouts, both physically and aesthetically.

 

Feet Type

A whirlpool tub's two leading feet types are ball and claw or freestanding. Ball and claw feet give a tub a more vintage aesthetic, while the freestanding whirlpool tubs are more universal or modern.

 

Brand

One of the best brands you can purchase in terms of value is Randolph Morris. These tubs are consistently well-reviewed by consumers and praised for their combination of durability and affordability. Aquatica is another excellent brand.

 

Price

Whirlpool jetted tubs typically start at around $1,300. Depending on the tub's brand, quality, and features, this price can go into the tens of thousands. This wide range makes whirlpool tubs accessible but still allows much room for upgrading to something more luxurious.
