There are two types of spa systems predominantly used for bathroom spas. The first is the hydro spa system that draws water into a pump, then pushes it out in a jet to provide a powerful, invigorating massage. The second type is an air system that blows air into the water creating a soft, gentle massage. Some spa baths have a dual system that combines the hydro and the air system for the ultimate in bathing pleasure.

Terminology:

Adjustable Jet - A jet that allows you to control the directional flow of the water.

Air Control - A pneumatic control air switch mounted on the rim of the spa which turns the spa on and off.

Bodyguard Release Valve - A safety valve that stops the suction when something is caught in the pump.

Electric On/Off Switch - Allows you to turn the heater on and off while the pump is in use.

Other Considerations : Spa pump position is an important decision which often needs to be made at the time the spa bath is ordered. Think about the position in relation to the room available in your bathroom. Pumps can be installed up to 3 metres away however the closer the position the better pressure and ultimately, more enjoyable bathing experience.see less
