Whirlpool and spa baths
Jets of water or air.
Baths with built-in jets: whirlpool baths push water, spa or air baths push bubbles. They turn a bath into something closer to a spa.

What it is
A pump circulates bath water through jets in the sides (whirlpool), or a blower pushes air through holes in the base (spa). Some baths combine both.
Good for
Relaxation
A massaging soak at home.
Comfort
Warm moving water can ease tired muscles.
What to weigh up
Electrics
The pump needs a safe electrical supply that meets Part P.
Access
The pump must stay reachable, usually through a removable bath panel.
Cleaning
Whirlpool pipework needs regular cleaning to stay hygienic.
Noise
Pumps and blowers make some noise.
