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.
1. Your Jet-Layout Options at a Glance
Jet Type | Standard Layout | Popular Upgrades |
---|---|---|
Water jets | 6- or 8-jet side massage | 12-jet back/foot combo, 24-jet full hydro |
Air-spa jets | 12 base nozzles | 14-Jet upgrade, 24-Jet combo |
Micro back jets | None | 3- or 4-jet vertical back panel |
Foot jets | None | 3- or 4-jet plantar massage |
2. How Custom Jet Placement Works
-
Chat & Sketch
Share your must-have targets—aching lumbar, tight calves, tired feet. We’ll recommend jet sizes and angles. -
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. -
Factory Fit & Water Test
Jets, pipework and pumps are installed in our Leeds workshop, then pressure-tested for leaks and balanced massage. -
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

-
