Classic whirlpool bathtub

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.

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.

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.

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.

The best 1-person whirlpool bath is the one that suits your space, your use and your preferred massage system. At Spalina, several models stand out depending on your needs.

For a gentle, enveloping massage, the Bulle system is ideal : the Tao Bulle (170x80 cm, €1,449) is our most compact freestanding reference in this technology. For a more design-forward version with a porthole, the Ukio Bulle (175x75 cm, €1,599) offers a very clean rectangular silhouette.

For a toning water jet massage, the Tahiti Jets (170x78 cm, €1,359) is our most accessible 1-person model. The Sikinos Jets (170x78 cm, €1,359) offers a rectangular alternative at the same price.

For mixed Jets + air relaxation, the Maya Wave (170x78 cm, €1,549) or the Tenzo Wave (170x70 cm, €1,499) — our slimmest model — combine performance and a compact footprint. All tested for 4 hours in water, 2-year warranty, free delivery within 6 working days.

For a compact whirlpool bath, two formats are recommended depending on the layout of your bathroom.

In a corner : the Maldives Jets and Tasmanie Jets (135x135 cm, €1,399) are our most compact Jets models — fully symmetrical, they can be fitted on either side. The Tasmanie white Jets offers the same configuration in white at the same price.

Rectangular : the Tenzo Wave (170x70 cm, €1,499) is our slimmest rectangular model — just 70 cm wide, ideal for narrow bathrooms. The Sikinos Jets and Tahiti Jets (170x78 cm, €1,359) offer 8 cm more in width at a slightly lower price.

In all cases, allow at least 60 cm of clearance around the bath. All are tested for 4 hours in water before dispatch, 2-year warranty, free delivery within 6 working days.

The term "jacuzzi" is often used to refer to a whirlpool bath — Jacuzzi is actually a registered trademark. To choose well, four criteria matter : available space, massage system, configuration and budget.

Space : our models start at 135x135 cm for corner whirlpools, and at 170x70 cm for rectangular models.

Massage system : Spalina offers three technologies — the Jets system (powerful hydrojets for a toning massage), the Wave system (combined water and air) and the Bulle system (air microbubbles for gentle relaxation).

Configuration : 1 person for solo use, 2 people for two.

Budget : our models start from €1,199. All our whirlpool baths are tested for 4 hours in water before dispatch, come with a 2-year warranty, and are delivered free of charge within 6 working days.

When it comes to connecting your whirlpool bathtub to a power supply, we strongly recommend hiring an experienced electrician. If, however, you feel comfortable handling installation on your own, you’ll need to connect the three conductors of the power cable to an IPX5 junction box. Each conductor should be connected to its corresponding terminal. Brown is phase, blue is neutral and yellow/green is earth.
