Will the Weight of a Whirlpool Bath Be Too Much for My Floor?

It's a common concern, but rest assured, adding a whirlpool system to a standard bath doesn't significantly increase the weight. Unless you're planning a bath party for elephants (which we don't recommend), your floor should handle it just fine!

Breaking Down the Extra Weight:

  • Water Pump: Approximately 6kg
  • Air Blower (if included): Around 3kg
  • Pipework and Fittings: Up to 2kg
  • Total Additional Weight: Typically between 10-11kg

What This Means for You:

  • No Need for Special Reinforcement: The slight increase is negligible compared to the combined weight of the bath, water, and occupant.
  • Standard Installation Applies: Traditional joist structures and bathroom flooring are usually adequate.
  • Peace of Mind: Floors that support a standard bath can comfortably support a whirlpool bath.

Consider the Main Weights:

  • The Bath Itself
  • Water Content (Remember, 1 litre of water = 1kg)
  • The Person Enjoying the Bath

The whirlpool system's weight is just a drop in the tub compared to these factors. However, if you live in an older property or have specific concerns, it's always wise to consult a professional.
