Can I Customise the Number and Placement of Jets in a Whirlpool Bath?

Absolutely. One of the hallmarks of our luxury whirlpool baths is the freedom to choose both how many jets you’d like and where they sit—whether you’re upgrading a compact single-user tub or designing a show-stopping 2-person whirlpool bath for shared soaks.

2. How Custom Jet Placement Works

  1. Chat & Sketch
    Share your must-have targets—aching lumbar, tight calves, tired feet. We’ll recommend jet sizes and angles.

  2. Technical Check
    We confirm the shell thickness, rim width and pump capacity. Most acrylic and stone-resin tubs—including many freestanding whirlpool baths—pass with flying colours.

  3. Factory Fit & Water Test
    Jets, pipework and pumps are installed in our Leeds workshop, then pressure-tested for leaks and balanced massage.

  4. Delivery Ready to Plumb
    Your bespoke bath arrives ready for a straightforward installation.

Typical lead-time: 7–14 working days from final sign-off.


3. Design Tips for the Perfect Massage

Goal Jet Advice
Deep-tissue back relief Add two mid-height water jets per bather and angle them 15° upward.
Foot revival Position small-bore jets low on the end panel—great in a 2-person whirlpool bath where both users face each other.
Total-body cocoon Combine a 12-nozzle air base with 6 adjustable side jets and 3 adjustable mini-jets at both ends for soothing bubbles and pinpoint pressure.

4. Limits & Practicalities

  • Minimum rim width: 40 mm for water jets, 30 mm for air nozzles, 70mm for tope edge mounted controls

  • Maximum jet count: usually 24 water + 14 air (depends on pump size and shell strength).

  • Access panel: allow at least 600 mm clear on one long side or discreet hatches at foot and head ends.

  • Electrical supply: dedicated 13-amp RCD spur for every pump/blower pair.

If your existing bath falls short on any point, we’ll suggest a compatible shell from our ready-made luxury whirlpool baths range.


5. Costs & Upgrades

  • Extra water jets: from £25 each, including plumbing.

  • Extra air nozzles: from £12 each.

  • Inline heater: keeps temperature rock-steady—highly recommended for longer soaks.

  • Chromotherapy LEDs & ozone sanitiser: perfect finishing touches for a spa-grade experience.
