What Additional Features and Upgrades Are Available for Whirlpool Baths?
Modern luxury whirlpool baths are anything but “one-size-fits-all.” From inline water heating and a selection of modern trim finishes to full-spectrum mood lighting, today’s options let you build a truly personal, deep soak spa bath without sacrificing the hush of our quiet whirlpool bath systems. Here’s a quick menu of the most popular extras.
1. Smarter, Quieter Control Systems
Option | Highlights | Perfect For |
---|---|---|
Pneumatic Buttons | Simple on/off switches for water jets, AirSpa and lights. Rock-solid reliability. | Guests & kids |
Soft-Start Pumps | Gradual ramp-up reduces motor noise to ~50 dB. | Ultra-quiet bathrooms |
2. Mood-Boosting Lighting
Upgrade | How It Looks | Why You’ll Love It |
---|---|---|
12-Point LED Strip Lights | Discreet dots (six per side) or 4-4-2 layout around the shell. | Even glow—great for relaxing evening soaks |
Single Chromotherapy Lamp | Powerful, diffused beam that cycles or locks on any colour. | Focused colour-therapy effects |
Full Chromotherapy Pack | Blue for calm, red for energy, green for balance, yellow for uplift. | Tailored mood lighting at a tap |
Both lighting kits integrate with pneumatic controls, so you keep the serenity of a quiet whirlpool bath system while soaking in colour.
3. Keep the Heat with Inline Heaters
Standard UK whirlpools fill with hot tap water, but an inline heater maintains temperature for as long as you linger - ideal for extended deep soak spa baths or when sharing a tub. Temperature is capped at safe bathing levels and runs from the same 13-amp RCD spur as the pump.
4. Massage & Hygiene Enhancers
-
Extra jets or repositioned layouts—upgrade from six to 18 water jets or 16 air-spa nozzles for all-over effervescence.
-
Self-draining air lines—leave no puddle behind, making maintenance almost effortless.
5. Build & Style Upgrades
Feature | Benefit | Source |
---|---|---|
Factory shell reinforcement | Adds rigidity—perfect for larger freestanding models. | |
Slip-resist grips or handles | Safer entry/exit without compromising looks. | |
Custom paint finishes | Over 1500 Farrow & Ball, Little Greene or RAL colours for exterior shells. |
