WHIRLPOOLS AND AIRSPA'S - Whirlpools Whirlpools are characterized by having jets on the side of the bath about half way up and a suction point. This type of system produces hydro-massage by sucking water from the bath and pumping it out of the jets on the side under pressure. To increase the pressure of the jets most whirlpools have a control on the top of the bath, which allows air to be sucked in to the jet of water to increase the pressure.

WHIRLPOOLS AND AIRSPA'S - Air spas Air spas are characterized by having a series of jets or holes fitted/drilled into the base of the bath. They produce air through the jets under pressure to fill the bath with bubbling water. This agitation of the water is what causes the hydro-massage effect. The difficulty of this type of system is that it has a tendency to cool the water in the bath.

STEAM AND SAUNA'S (Turkish and Swedish) - STEAM AND SAUNA'S (Turkish and Swedish) Turkish steam sauna's and Swedish dry heat sauna's are both types of hydro-massage system. The difference is in the way they achieve the effect.

STEAM AND SAUNA'S (Turkish and Swedish) - Swedish Dry Saunas Swedish dry saunas use dry air to heat the body to high temperatures causing you to perspire heavily. This is achieved with an oven upon which sit hot coals. These coals produce heat when a small amount of water is splashed on them and the humidity increases.

STEAM AND SAUNA'S (Turkish and Swedish) - Turkish Steam Saunas Turkish steam sauna's produce steam in large amounts to cause the hydro-massage effect, and like the Swedish type also make you perspire heavily. This is wet heat and as such achieves the desired effect at much lower temperatures. This can be as little as 40 degrees and is seldom higher than 50 degrees. The main difference between the two systems is that the steam system appears to be less of an irritant to the breathing and as such is better in general for those suffering from respiratory conditions where a moist atmosphere is beneficial.
