Glass-sided 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.

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.

A Spalina whirlpool bath lasts on average 10 to 15 years with regular maintenance — a lifespan comparable to a classic acrylic bath.

All our whirlpool baths come with a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects, and every model is tested for 4 hours in water before dispatch to verify the correct operation of the hydraulic and electrical system. Beyond the warranty, longevity mainly depends on maintenance : rinsing the jets after each use, monthly descaling and avoiding abrasive products significantly extend your bath's lifespan.

Wear parts such as the pump or seals may need replacing after several years of intensive use. Our after-sales service, available 5d/7, is here to help with any maintenance or spare parts questions.

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.

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.

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.
