Choosing the Right Massage Tub
Before you run out and buy a new massage for your bathroom, there are many important
questions to ask yourself to avoid expensive mistakes.
Most people go out and buy a Massage tub, with no idea of how it might fit into their space, and
then there's a lot of expensive remodeling work to make it work." Before deciding on a certain
model, get the answers to these questions:
What will fit?
Make sure to measure your bathroom before you even look at a massage tub, including any space
you might gain taking down dividing walls or showers. Massage tubs these days come in a wide
range of sizes and shapes. Some use standard measurements such as five feet, five and a half
and six. But you can't just consider the tub size. Some are drop in and need reinforcing and seating
or ledge areas. RomannTM tubs all come with a steel reinforced frame that eliminates extensive
remodeling or framing. Experts suggest adding at least a half-inch to your measurements on all
sides. "If you think you'd like to hold a lot of stuff like candles and oils near the water, you'll also
need extra space around the tub. If you're over six feet tall, you may want to forfeit this space for
more tub room.
What will fit through the door?
In remodeling applications, the tub must be sized so it will fit through the door. Many doorways in
older baths allow less than 24-inch access. If the tub's height will fit through the doorway, it may
also require enough clearance to turn around before being set into place. Tubs set into new
construction do not face all the same constraints since doors are not installed and walls are not
completed. If however you decide on a larger tub make sure to have the tub delivered before final
framing.
What does it weigh?
When you're working with a wood joist floor construction you'll need to consider tub weight plus
how much it will weigh full of water and people, and add support or bracing as necessary. This is
especially important in a second floor installation. But if the unit is installed on a slab, or is an
acrylic replacement for a properly supported cast-iron standard tub, extra support becomes a non-
issue. At any time you're remodeling in the bathroom, you may uncover weak or damaged floors
that must be repaired and reinforced before you can make other improvements.
Will my space have to be reconfigured?
If you plan for a larger massage tub you may need to reconsider other elements of your bathroom
design or even rip up flooring or tear down walls as part of the installation. Consider all features of
your remodel. Nothing is worse then buying a bargain and then finding out later that the bargain
tub turned into a $20,000 bathroom remodel.
Where's the plumbing?
A plumber has to be able to get in the space to hook the whirlpool up and that includes the drain.
The pump also has to be accessible also so you can get to it in case the massage tub breaks
down — you can't tile over it. The easiest, most cost-effective way to make sure you don't have
plumbing headaches is to ask the store for the specs for any model you're interested in and then
hire a licensed contract plumber. Show him the specs and the space you're working with before
you buy anything, and he'll tell you what you need to make it work.
How's my wiring?
The electrical needs of a massage tub can be even greater than the refrigerator,so you need to
make sure the outlet nearby can supply the voltage. If not, you may need an electrician to do some
rewiring.
How often will I use it?
Don't just put any massage tub in your bath find one that works with your lifestyle. If you're partners
looking for a little romance, you might want a two-seater so you can soak together. If you're an avid
soaker, you might want to get some better features and spend a little more money than the person
who knows they'll just use the tub one or two times a month. Some styles these days even come
with TV monitors and CD players. For anyone who goes a week or more between dips we
recommend massage tubs with a sterilization feature. This feature is a program that applies a
small electrical current to the water keeping pipes and hoses clear of bacteria and mold. The
ozone sterilization program comes standard on most Romann Massage Tubs.
What makes sense with my design?
The style of the tub fillers and faucets really set the design tone. If you're up for a complete
bathroom re-do, you can also buy massage tubs as part of matching suites which have tub, toilet,
pedestal and vanity in complementary designs.
What features do I want?
Try out models with different features, like grab bars or arm rests, to see what you would really like
when you're down to choosing between a couple models. Make sure to take the time to actually sit
in the tub to make you are comfortable and the size fits you. Be careful when pricing your tub. Most
retailers give you the price of the tub only. This means a $3200.00 oval soaker can quickly escalate
in price to $4,500 when you add in features like air jets, fixtures and heaters. Heaters are essential
as bubbling air through warm water is a sure way to cool it quickly. And for clients with limited
mobility tubs with doors are available which offer jets as a therapeutic option. All Romann
Massage tubs come fully loaded with fixtures, heaters and sterilization so there's nothing extra
to buy.
How much do I want to remodel?
If you just put a massage tub into an old bath and expect it to help the value of your house, you'll be
disappointed. We recommend reconsidering all the plumbing fixtures and accessories if you're
going to go to the expense of putting in a massage tub. If plumbers, electricians and new fixtures
for the whole bath make the purchase seem like a complicated ordeal, well, it is. The whole point
of re-doing a bathroom is to make it function well for the way you live. You should really go in with a
plan from the start, one that outlines all the changes you might need to make and how each
contractor will fall in place." Finally keep an extra 10 percent over your original budget in the bank
for a massage tub installation. When the massage tub really functions well and fits in with your
lifestyle, it will be worth all the work. But keep in mind, this is construction and remember to take
your time to get what you want."
