Jets for jacuzzi and their varieties have been discussed in detail in another article.
Useful properties of hydromassage
With a hydro massage, water jets affect the body of a person immersed in the pool. If we are talking about hydro massage, we mean precisely the effect of water, which does not include the effect of air bubbles. This procedure has a therapeutic and relaxing effect.
If together with water in the jet there are small air bubbles, then the procedure is called aeromassage. Both these types of massage can help with malaise of the musculoskeletal system, as well as the nervous system( its peripheral department).
The hydromassage procedure perfectly relaxes muscles, improves blood circulation, stimulates disposal of excess fluid in tissues. As the water load on the spine and joints decreases, the whirlpool is useful for problems with them. The result is a faster recovery. The procedures are recommended for bad sleep, chronic stress and fatigue, immunity disorders, gastrointestinal diseases, poor blood circulation.
The course of hydromassage procedures can ease attacks of arthritis, relieving pain and helping in the restoration of joint function. Also, sessions help to increase the elasticity of ligaments and muscles, get rid of cellulite, increase efficiency and improve mood.

Lounger aeromassage
Represents a lounger with perforation, air to which is fed by means of a compressor, resulting in the creation of a lot of bubbles;
hydromassage shower wall. It is represented by several types, differing in the power of the water flow and the features of the nozzles. One of these walls( aero) can have 4 nozzles at different depths, and the result of its operation will be a soft flow of water with air bubbles. Another wall( turbo) is distinguished by the creation of water flows of considerable strength. The presence of a third kind of wall( countercurrent) will help create a counter flow in order to practice swimming;
Waterfall in the form of a cascade

Design The swimming pool with hydromassage function can be built-in or stand-alone. In the second variant, its design has a decorative finish from the outside and a ladder facilitating the entrance. The body of such a pool is made of plastic or wood, and between it and the bowl there is a heat-insulating material.
There are jets or a waterfall in the basin of the pool, and depending on the model, there is an option for aeromassage, an ozonation system, an aromatherapy function, a counterflow, an audio system that does not contain water, and others added by the manufacturers each year to new models.
The design of the hydromassage pool necessarily includes filters( one or more) designed to purify water. If the filters are qualitative, water can be replaced after a few months. It is desirable that in the device of the pool there is an ozone generator. It not only improves the water quality, but also prolongs the design service. Usually in the filtration system there is a circulation pump in which there is a special filter for delaying large particles before they enter the main filter.
Inflatable spa-pool
Thanks to this version of the pool with hydromassage function, you can keep your body in good shape and improve your well-being without visiting the spa salons. After buying and installing this type of pool, the pleasure of the whirlpool will be available to you every day.
Such a pool is a portable design that can be disassembled and assembled, installing anywhere. The main difference from the usual pool for swimming in this model of the inflatable pool is the presence of a hydromassage, which helps not only to relax the body, but also to treat some diseases.
Inflatable swimming pool is an independent design in which there are special water filters that purify it during the operation of the pool. Due to this, it is not required to drain contaminated water and refill the pool with clean water.
For the production of this type of pool use the latest quality materials, including composite fibers that cover the pool from the inside. As an external coating, laminated PVC is often used. High-strength materials, therefore, several adults can stay in the inflatable pool at the same time, and the product will not be deformed at the same time.
Since the inflatable hydromassage basin has a control panel, you can select the massage mode and control the pressure of the air jets. The device is supplemented with a system for water softening, therefore, almost no salt is deposited on the walls of the salt. In addition, softened water has a beneficial effect on the skin.
All inflatable pools have a pump for pumping water and a filtration system. A chlorinating system is used to disinfect water in inflatable spa-pools. By using salt, the pool water can become real sea water, which is also useful for bathing.
Heating of water in the pool is also programmed, so the temperature for swimming in different weather can be selected the most optimal. Also, the control panel monitors the operation of the spa system. The result will be a setting of the air jets so that a relaxing massage results. For the supply of air meet the nozzles, and their number is different in different models( it can be up to 120 pieces).
Since the inflatable pool has a special substrate, it can be mounted directly on the ground without any fear. When the warm period is over and the pool is cleaned for the winter, it is not necessary to wash it.
If there is a desire, installation of such a model is possible inside the house. Especially if it's an oversized mini model. The plus is that the installation does not require special skills - the product needs to be decomposed, after plugging into the mains, and then pour water into it. Many models are equipped with comfortable handles, allowing you to move the pool to the desired location.
The main differences of the pools from the whirlpool baths
The main difference lies in the hydro massage system. In both types of equipment there is a special system that allows you to get a hydromassage, but the fact that the volume of water in the hydromassage pool is much larger allows you to install a more powerful system in it. As a result, the massage effect in the pool will be much more effective and more extensive than in the bath.
The pool is different and more ergonomic, because it can simultaneously take the procedure of several people( up to 10).In a whirlpool bath can be at the same time 1-3 people.
There are differences between the bathroom and the swimming pool in their operation. A swimming pool with hydromassage function does not require connection to a centralized water supply. Water after a bath in such a basin is not necessary to drain, because it is effectively disinfected and cleaned. And the presence of an integrated filtration system also refers to the essential differences of the pool from the whirlpool bath.
Rules for choosing
After evaluating the positive properties of the whirlpool, many are resolved to purchase it or equip it with a hydromassage installation already available at the country house or in the courtyard of the swimming pool country house.
In choosing a lot of attention to the manufacturer. It is better if your purchase is made by a trusted reliable company. So you get a quality hydromassage pool, and the possibility of caring for it or warranty repair.
Choosing the appropriate option, decide in advance where the pool will be installed - in the open air in the courtyard of the house, inside the building or in the gazebo. This depends on whether you need a model with a lid to protect against rain and leaves, or you need a swimming pool with an additional insulated cup for winter use.
Depending on your needs in the number of places you can buy both a compact pool for two people and a hydromassage pool for 8-10 persons wishing to get an aquatic procedure. In a number of pools there is a special highlight, which is useful when taking a whirlpool at night, and at a noisy party.
If you are offered to conduct a test bath, do not refuse such a service, because in this way you can evaluate the efficiency and ergonomics of the device.
