spa bath

A spa bath is a ‘self-contained body of warm water designed for sitting rather than swimming in, which has a mechanism to ensure the water flows around the user’. It is designed for a small number of people to use at one time. The water temperature is kept between 30 to 40 Degree C, and is not usually drained between users, so has to be continually filtered and cleaned. A hydrojet circulation or air induction bubble system is used to stir up the water. You may also call your spa bath a spa pool, hot spa, hot tub, portable spa, or whirlpool spa (a term commonly used in American publications). ‘Jacuzzi’ is the trade name for one type of spa bath.
