Whirlpool BathtubWhen considering what kind of whirlpool tub to buy, there are many factors to consider.
You want to be sure the weight of the tub is appropriate for your bathroom. Most floors can handle 40 lbs per sq foot. Also, most tubs come as a single basin unit, so you want to be sure it will fit through the door (or window) of your bathroom. Measure more than once to be sure. Consider the four main designs of whirlpool bathtub: Corner, recessed, freestanding and platform. Platform tubs are the most popular and corner tubs are also building in popularity as a modern design. They come in many colors and styles, making it fairly easy to find one that fits your decor, though not as easily fitting your budget. A whirlpool tub is loved for its air jets and deep basins. Some whirlpools forbid the use of soaps and bubble producing agents so check with the manufacturer regarding those requirements. Whirlpool tubs can be purchased in a regular tub size, or built to accomodate two people. The tub itself will be fit into the platform that you build on site. Don't forget to include those platform measurements when considering what size of tub your room can handle. Where to buy a whirlpool bathtub Most consumers will visit their local home improvement or plumbing store. Some will work directly with their local plumber, others will shop online.
