| Why
should I install a whirlpool tub in my home? |
| |
There are many good reasons. Some of the most
important are: |
| |
Medical: Hydrotherapy
has been proven to be one of the best and most effective
forms of relief for certain medical conditions such as muscle
and joint pain, back and neck aches, sprains, stiffness,
and other minor injuries.
Stress Relief: Hydrotherapy massage is a fast and
effective form of stress relief that is readily available
for everyone in the family. The wide variety of jet options,
lumbar massage system, neck massage pillow, and air massage
system offer the ultimate flexibility in relief from stress
and muscle stiffness.
Resale Value: Studies have shown that a bathroom
remodeling project that features the addition of an acrylic
whirlpool bath can increase the resale value of your existing
home by as much as $15000 to $ 20,000. Luxury bathroom options
are a highly valued feature in today's housing market. |
| Are
whirlpool bathtubs safe? |
| |
Yes. They are
every bit as safe as your standard bathtub or shower. Unlike
outdoor spas or hot tubs (which are similar to swimming
pools), your indoor whirlpool bathtub is emptied after each
use. There are no chemicals or stored water involved. The
entire unit, as well as each of the components used in the
production of it, is NAHB tested and UL approved. Your Laurel
Mountain Whirlpool meets all national and local codes. |
| Do
I have room to install one in my bathroom? |
| |
Laurel Mountain Whirlpools offers 45
different shapes and sizes of acrylic whirlpool baths.
They are available in sizes ranging from 32" x 60"
to fit into an existing alcove to a luxurious deck mounted
80" x 62" and all sizes in between. There are
models with integral acrylic skirts and flanges. There are
also sizes that will fit into any corner. Also, just like
a standard bathtub, they can be used with or without a shower.
All of the plumbing (including the pump and optional upgrades)
are installed under and within the parameter of the tub
so no remote component installations are necessary. |
| Are
they hard to install? |
| |
Laurel Mountain Whirlpools are, by far, the
easiest unit in the industry to install. They are
manufactured with their own pre-leveled installation base
to sit directly on the floor. No need to shim, level, or
set in mortar. All of the power components (pump motor,
heater, optional on/off switch) are supplied with a cord
and plug. No need to wire - simply plug into a wall outlet.
All whirlpool baths run on standard 110-volt power. There
are no special electrical requirements. Nor are there any
additional plumbing needs. |
