Vidalux Whirlpool Bath Range – Much More Than A Regular Whirlpool Bath

Here at Vidalux, we know that life can be stressful and it can be hard on both your mind and your body. That’s why we put so much thought into our range of whirlpool baths, because we want you to have the ultimate, luxury bathing experience to ease away all your cares and soothe your body.

A range of sizes

Obviously, any bath is going to take up more floor space than a shower but if you think that whirlpool baths only come in huge sizes, then think again. We’ve created a selection of baths in a range of sizes to give you maximum flexibility in your bathroom design. What’s more, we offer a selection of different shapes, from the familiar rectangle, to offset designs in left- and right-hand versions.

Built to last

We’ve opted to use acrylic for all our whirlpool baths because we believe it offers the best balance of aesthetics and practicality. These days you can get baths in general (and whirlpool baths in particular) made out of all kinds of materials, but if you want to use any of these baths in the bathroom of a standard family home, then we’d advise you to do your research carefully before parting with your money. Baths which look gorgeous on Pinterest can be utterly impractical in the real world, except, perhaps, in hotels and similar places. For example, baths made out of stone are far heavier than their acrylic counterparts, which means your floor may need to be reinforced to hold them. Baths made of metal obviously offer poor insulation. Acrylic baths will fit into both modern and traditional bathrooms and resist stains and scratches to look good year after year. They also offer excellent insulation.

Practicalities matter

At Vidalux, we understand that as a user, all you want to do is know that you can go into the privacy and convenience of your own bathroom, turn on your bath and have everything just work the way it should, so you can enjoy those lovely jets. That’s exactly what we want for you, which is why we’ve made sure to take care of practicalities such as drainage and cleaning pipes so that your Vidalux whirlpool bath gives outstanding service time after time. They may seem utterly unglamorous, but believe us, they’re important.

Our made-to-order whirlpool baths have our own “Truedrain” feature. This does exactly what the name suggests and drains the water away completely after every use, so there is no standing water left in the bath or the pipes. Many whirlpool baths need to be disinfected after each use, which we think is extremely tedious. With ours, you just need to use an appropriate cleaner once a month. Our “Truecare” antibacterial pipework is fitted as standard on these baths too.

There’s more to jets than headline numbers

We believe in treating our customers like intelligent people and explaining facts to them rather than just aiming to impress with big, bold, headline figures. First of all, we’d like to be clear about what we mean when we talk about “whirlpool jets” and “spa jets”. Whirlpool jets massage you with jets of water, whereas spa jets massage you with air. This means that whirlpool jets provide a much more intense, deeper-level massage, whereas spa jets provide a lighter, gentler experience. When you choose one of our standard-range whirlpool baths, you will have the choice of 10 whirlpool jets, 12 spa jets or both (the Deluxe, corner and two-person baths have their own jet counts, listed on each product page). This is where the numbers start to get interesting.

The reason we opted to use 10 whirlpool jets on our standard-range baths, rather than the standard 6 is that having the extra jets does make a meaningful difference to the overall user experience. At the same time, however, we’ve chosen to use two back jets rather than the four you will often see elsewhere. The reason for this is that it means that we can put them lower down closer to the base of the whirlpool bath, which ensures that they will direct their jets of water at your back, rather than be squirting them up into the air (fountaining). As well as being powerful, the jets we use for our whirlpool baths are individually-adjustable, so you can always have your massage just how you like it. We use 12 spa jets on those baths so you can enjoy a whole-body massage, choosing from three different speeds according to how you feel that day.

What else comes with the Deluxe range?

Our Deluxe whirlpool baths add an in-line water heater, ozone pipe sterilisation, Bluetooth and a digital control panel to the standard range.

The in-line heater is rated at 1.5kW, and it maintains the temperature of the hot water you run rather than heating a cold bath from scratch. Ozone sterilisation adds to the antibacterial pipework fitted as standard, to help keep the bath free from bacteria and smells. Every Deluxe model, including the WB89 Deluxe 1400 x 1400 Corner, carries the heater and the ozone sterilisation.

Finishing touches

We suggest that you complete your whirlpool-bathing experience with our Aqualight system of chromotherapy lights, which can cycle through 7 colours or be set to stay on the colour, which best suits the mood you want to generate that day. They can help to make bath time extra-special.

How do I install a whirlpool bath?

Our whirlpool baths are designed for simple, predictable installation by any competent tradesperson, with UK-standard fittings and clear instructions. Connection to the electrical supply must be performed by a Part P qualified electrician.

We ask installers to test the bath and run it before final fixing, so any issue shows up before the panels go on, not after. You’ll also need at least 450mm (18 inches) of clear space in front of the bath, so the connections and pump can be reached for fitting and any servicing later. On our made-to-order whirlpool baths, we can also move the jet and control-button positions to suit your bathroom layout at no extra cost. Ask when you order.

What warranty do Vidalux whirlpool baths carry?

Our made-to-order whirlpool baths carry a 25-year warranty on the bath shell and a 2-year warranty on the whirlpool. Our other models, including every Deluxe, corner and two-person bath, carry a 3-year warranty instead. The warranty period is listed on each product page.
