What are the water usage considerations for whirlpool baths, including compatibility with different water sources?
- Water Capacity and Usage
Standard Volumes:
- Small baths (1500mm): 130-160 litres
- Standard baths (1700mm): 150-200 litres
- Large baths (1800mm+): 200-300 litres
- Corner baths: Variable by design
Key Points:
- Water usage identical to standard baths of same size
- Jet system doesn't require additional water
- Minimum fill level must cover jets
- Volume depends on bath size, not system type

Conclusion: While whirlpool baths can operate with various water sources, understanding your water type and implementing appropriate maintenance measures is crucial. Water usage is primarily determined by bath size rather than the whirlpool system itself. With proper care and maintenance, your whirlpool bath can function effectively regardless of water source, though hard or well water may require additional attention and treatment systems.
Note: Specific maintenance requirements may vary based on local water conditions and system design. Consult our team for personalized advice based on your water source and usage patterns.
