Thinking Whirlpool tub ....

[ckelly78z]

I have been rebuilding my downstairs (small 6'x7') bathroom from the studs up, with new everything. One main thing that we got rid of because of non use was the deep, standard tub with 18" tall sides, and a shower curtain (no jets). I installed a 36"x60" shower base with the matching surround walls, and a rain shower head. This base only has a 3" lip so is handicap accessible if needed, and is big enough for an amorous twosome, with a removable/mountable seat for just sitting and soaking.

We have used the big swirltubs with the jets, but found that we wasted alot of water filling them, and they cooled down quickly, so a no go. We do have a HOTSPRINGS spa on our backporch so...

We had one in one of our previous homes, like others, used it just a few times. Was a hassle to clean, and there was always the worry of break downs. When we remodeled our current home, we went with the deep soaker tub....it gets used frequently despite the time to fill....but ohhh, the full body heat and relaxation combined with Japanese bath salts, can't be beat!

Built 4-5 homes over a 20 year period with a Jacuzzi brand jetted tub in all. Never used them. The kids did like to take Mr Bubble baths in them when little.
