Massage Bathtubs Classification
Single Pump SystemOnly water massage, air massage or mixed water & air massage is available. All jets can only deliver one massage mode at the same time.
Dual Pump SystemThe water pump and air pump work independently. Some jets provide water massage while others deliver air massage simultaneously. Users may adjust massage intensity as needed.
I. Product Features of Massage Bathtubs
- All massage bathtubs are made of high-strength, high-gloss premium composite panels. The back of the tub is multi-layer reinforced with high-toughness, high-strength fiberglass to guarantee sufficient rigidity and durability.
- The support frame is fully welded stainless steel, equipped with adjustable feet. The contact part between feet and floor adopts wear-resistant nylon material.
- Strict control is implemented throughout the whole production process. Production technologies are continuously optimized and upgraded. Comprehensive quality and advanced craftsmanship are guaranteed at every manufacturing stage.
- Built-in intelligent chip control system realizes water pump regulation, FM stereo music and other functions. Multiple radio stations can be saved according to personal preference.
- Massage Surfing System: The motor features low noise, excellent electrical performance and low casing temperature rise. It has passed the 48-hour continuous fatigue test by authoritative institutions.Automatic drainage design prevents residual water inside the system. Specially optimized pipeline structure reduces flow noise and improves pump efficiency.Equipped with swirl large jets with adjustable spray angles. Rotating the jets can adjust water flow volume. Small jets spray in fixed directions and support 360° angle adjustment to produce gentle soft bubbles.The handheld shower offers three modes: standard spray, mist spray and powerful massage spray. The unit is fitted with water inlet tap, shower diverter and hot & cold water mixer.
- Exclusive safety protection system:
- Anti-electric wall for leakage protection
- Low water protection: the pump will not start if the water level is below the required height
- Pneumatic switch: power supply controlled by air pressure for safer operation
- Anti-slip design on the tub bottom
II. Water & Electrical Installation Layout and Specifications
(I) Water Pipeline Layout Guidelines
- Water pipes and air pipes shall be arranged neatly with uniform spacing. Accessories at different heights shall maintain consistent standards.
- Avoid crossing between water pipes and air pipes during installation.
- Adopt symmetrical layout wherever left and right accessories are basically identical.
- Combine flexible hoses and rigid pipes. Rigid pipes are preferred for 1/2' and 1' pipelines. Reinforce overlong pipes with cable ties or resin fiber. No other accessories can be mounted or hung on pipelines.
- Install pipelines and accessories in place. Apply PVC glue evenly to ensure tight sealing without leakage.
- Avoid excessive inclination at connections between flexible/rigid pipes and jets, which will affect appearance and performance.
- Keep accessories and pipeline surfaces clean, free of silicone residue, oil stains and other contaminants.
- Mount the massage motor slightly higher than low-water-level accessories such as return fittings to enable automatic drainage of residual water in pipelines.
- Minimize 90° elbows between the motor outlet and jets. This section is near the highest water level. Jets intake water simultaneously, trapped air cannot be fully exhausted and may cause pump startup failure.
(II) Electrical Wiring Requirements
- Route wires uniformly with right-angle turns for neat and attractive layout.
- Secure wires to the tub side using suction cups and cable ties. Use spiral wrapping tape to bundle wires together.
- Do not stretch wires excessively to avoid loosening or breakage of cables and terminals.
- The earth wire must be reliably connected to the metal frame with anti-slip lock washers. Ground resistance shall be less than 0.1Ω.
- All electrical wiring must be carried out with power cut off to prevent electric shock and accidents.
- No bare copper wires are allowed at plugs and terminals.
- Ensure control box and massage pump are well sealed. Tighten cable glands during installation.
- If the pump is controlled by a pneumatic switch, firmly connect air tubes and test normal operation of micro switches.
- If the pump is controlled by electronic panel switches, pay attention to phase sequence and reliable earthing. Seal openings of micro switches.
(III) General Electrical Specifications
- Power supply for massage bathtubs: 220V single-phase AC
- Stereo FM radio: Frequency range 87.5MHz – 108.0MHz
- Leakage protection is provided for auxiliary safety only
- Underwater light powered by safe low voltage DC12V, supporting multi-color light changing
III. Product Testing Standards
- Compression Test: Hit 10 times with a 300-pound hammer; no deformation or cracking.
- Hot Water Resistance Test: Immersed in 70°C hot water for 100 hours; no deformation, cracking or discoloration.
- Impact Test: Strike the bottom with a 38mm steel ball from short distance; no deformation or cracking.
- Torsion Test: Drainage outlet withstands 50-pound torque without cracking or deformation.
- Comfort Test: 500 participants trial; satisfaction rate reaches 95.6%.
- Hardware electroplating passes 48-hour salt spray test.All products undergo at least two functional inspections before delivery to ensure zero leakage and full normal operation.
IV. Size & Selection Guidelines
- Select bathtub size according to bathroom space. If installed in corners, triangular bathtubs generally occupy more space than rectangular ones.
- Bathtubs with identical outer dimensions differ in depth, width, length and inner contour. If deep bathing is preferred, set the drain outlet higher. Deeper tubs offer better bathing experience.
- For single-skirt bathtubs, confirm skirt orientation according to drain position and wall layout before purchase. Wrong orientation leads to installation failure.
- If a shower head will be installed above the tub, choose a wider bathtub. The surface under shower area shall be flat with anti-slip treatment.
- Selection tips: Check motor power (low power leads to weak massage effect), operating noise and tub resonance. For areas with hard water and no automatic cleaning function, choose models with detachable jets for easy cleaning.
