Jetted Tubs - Ooh La La!

            I’ve always fantasized about owning a large home: A home that sat on an acre and a half of land with 6 bedrooms, 3+ bathrooms, large walk-in closets, a library, mini movie theater, game room, and heated indoor pool. I dream in silk and satin, luxury and riches, but I think half the fun is in honestly achieving one’s dream. Part of my dream house will one day include a jetted bathtub.

            For those of you who are like me, jetted bathtubs scream out “luxury!” This sort of bathtub truly stands out because they’re like a Jacuzzi, offering soft jets of water to gently massage sore spots and tension away. Jetted bathtubs are beautiful, but even just owning one in your own will enhance your home’s future market value.

            The problem with owning a jet tub is in finding a GOOD jet tub. There are hundreds of different models out there from all sorts of respectable manufactures like American Standard, Aquatic, and Lasco, and with so many possibilities to choose from, finding the right one for your home can be difficult, time-consuming, and exhausting.

            THE PROCESS

            Before starting to sift through the models of jet tubs, first you’ll need to accurately measure all the dimensions and sizes of the location you plan on placing your tub in. For instance, if you plan on having this tub out on your deck you’ll need to consider the fact that the tub will need to be dropped in and will require at least half an inch of space around the tub. If, on the other hand, you plan on having this tub in your master bedroom, you’ll need to check size limits, weight limits (as needed when filled with water), and space limits. If you’re doing a remodel, this is especially important to consider because you’ll need to make sure to build around the size of the tub. In addition to the measurements you’ll need to take, you’ll also require proper wiring for this sort of tub. This can cause big problems if not considered before picking the location, or the problem may lie in your existing plumbing not working alongside this new investment.

Once you’ve gotten past the tedious initial first steps, you get to the fun part of choosing out the model. Your specific measurements and criteria will help eliminate many tubs from the list, and if you add to that a price limit, you’ll find yourself with fewer results to look through. Finally, you can also limit your search by selecting certain features. For instance, if you like taking baths and feel you would use your jet tub at least once a week, select for a model with more durable, powerful water jets. If you have a significant other you would want to share the experience with, select a whirlpool model that fits two people to ensure a romantic bathing experience. The final search criteria you should acknowledge to help filter out more results is the aesthetic look. What color(s) will it be? Will it fit in with your current home décor and design? Are you going for a contemporary, modern look or are you satisfied with the traditional oval shape? These sorts of things will help you pick out the best jet tub for your lifestyle, budget, space, and home.
