A whirlpool bath is a bath fitted with a water or air massage system that turns every soak into a relaxation session at home. Unlike a standard bath, it features jets or diffusers that propel water or air to massage the body.

At Spalina, three technologies are available. The Jets system delivers powerful, adjustable hydrojets for a toning and draining massage. The Wave system combines water jets and air diffusion for a relaxation that is both toning and enveloping. The Bulle system diffuses air only through thousands of silent microbubbles — for gentle, deep relaxation. All our whirlpool baths are tested for 4 hours in water before dispatch and come with a 2-year warranty.

Our range covers several configurations : 1-person whirlpool for solo use, 2-person whirlpool, freestanding whirlpool placed freely in the room, and corner whirlpool to make the most of your space.

There is no universal answer — comfort depends on your height, how you use the bath, and the space available. That said, several criteria make a real difference : interior length, basin depth, backrest shape and material.

For length, allow at least 170 cm if you are 5'9" or taller — our 170 cm baths and 180 cm baths allow full immersion. For depth, freestanding oval baths are generally deeper than standard built-in models. For massage, a whirlpool bath adds an incomparable relaxation dimension — toning water jets or enveloping air bubbles depending on the system chosen. For two people, our 2-person baths offer generous space with moulded ergonomic seating.

In all cases, the acrylic used in all Spalina baths guarantees a soft touch and excellent heat retention — two factors that extend the pleasure of your bath.

Choosing a whirlpool bath comes down to four main criteria : available space, type of massage, configuration (1 or 2 people) and shape.

Space : our models start at 135x135 cm for corner whirlpools such as the Maldives Jets or Tasmanie Jets, and at 170x70 cm for rectangular models like the Tenzo Wave. Measure your bathroom first.

Type of massage : at Spalina, three systems are available. The Jets system delivers powerful, adjustable hydrojets — ideal for a toning and draining massage. The Wave system combines water jets and air diffusion for a massage that is both toning and enveloping. The Bulle system diffuses air only, releasing thousands of silent microbubbles — perfect for gentle, deep relaxation.

1 or 2 people : for solo use, our 1-person whirlpools offer an excellent comfort-to-footprint ratio. For two people, our 2-person whirlpools measure 170x120 cm or 180x120 cm.

Shape : rectangular for a clean design, corner to optimise space, freestanding for a strong decorative impact. All our whirlpool baths are tested for 4 hours in water before dispatch and come with a 2-year warranty.

Balneotherapy refers to the use of warm water combined with jets or air bubbles to relieve the body and promote relaxation. A bath at 37°C with an active massage system helps release muscle tension, stimulate blood circulation and reduce stress. Many users also report improved sleep quality after regular sessions.

At Spalina, three systems allow you to tailor the experience to your needs. The Jets system acts through powerful hydrojets for a draining and toning effect on the muscles. The Wave system combines water and air for a relaxation that is both stimulating and enveloping. The Bulle system diffuses air only through silent microbubbles — the gentlest option, ideal for deep relaxation without intensity.

These benefits are available at home with a Spalina whirlpool bath, tested for 4 hours in water before dispatch and guaranteed for 2 years. Discover our 1-person and 2-person ranges.

All Spalina baths come with a 2-year warranty against manufacturing and conformity defects. This warranty covers parts and labour in the event of a proven defect. Our after-sales service is available 5d/7 to answer any technical or commercial questions after receipt.

For whirlpool baths, every model is tested for 4 hours in water before dispatch — a systematic step in our specifications that guarantees the correct operation of the entire hydraulic and electrical system before the bath leaves our warehouse.

Spalina is a French brand founded in 2003, specialising in acrylic baths, with over 60,000 baths delivered. For any after-sales enquiry, contact us at hello@spalina.fr or via our contact form.

When it comes to cleaning your freestanding whirlpool bathtub, always start by unplugging the appliance from the power supply. A damp cloth will suffice for day-to-day cleaning. Avoid using hard bristled brushes and abrasive chemicals as they may damage the tub surface.

The nozzles require a special cleaning regimen. First, fill the tub with hot water (40°C), adding 2 grams of detergent per litre. Next, let the pump run for 4 minutes, then drain. Now repeat this step with cold water for 3 minutes.

Use sandpaper to buff out any scuffs; follow up with toothpaste or white clay stone, then polish with a silken cloth. To remove limescale, we recommend using lemon juice, though any light acidic detergent will do.

The word "jacuzzi" is often used as a generic term for a whirlpool bath. In reality, Jacuzzi is a registered trademark — much like "hoover" for vacuum cleaner. At Spalina, we sell whirlpool baths, not jacuzzis.

The difference lies mainly in use and dimensions. A whirlpool bath is installed in the bathroom like a standard bath — it is designed for 1 to 2 people and comes in rectangular, corner or freestanding formats. A jacuzzi, on the other hand, is a much larger piece of equipment, designed to accommodate several people at once, often installed outdoors and requiring a reinforced floor.

At Spalina, our whirlpool baths incorporate three massage systems : the Jets system (powerful hydrojets), the Wave system (water and air combined) and the Bulle system (silent air microbubbles). Every model is tested for 4 hours in water before dispatch and comes with a 2-year warranty. Free delivery within 6 working days.
