2 person whirlpool baths

Two person whirlpool baths: indoor, not for the garden

This is the distinction that matters most and causes the most confusion. The two-person whirlpool baths on this page are bathtubs: they are installed indoors, in place of a conventional bath, and are filled and drained at every use just like an ordinary bath. They are not outdoor hot tubs, which stay full all year and hold the water at temperature. If you are looking for a tub for the garden or the terrace, the right category is outdoor hot tubs. This page is about the bathroom, with 10 models from € 2.489 to € 4.050.

Dimensions: they fit the space of a standard bath

Footprints run from 110 to 150 cm in width, designed to replace an existing bath without rebuilding the bathroom. The Whirlpool bath BL-510 and the Whirlpool bath BL-509 measure 150 × 150 cm: they are square, suited to corners. The Whirlpool bath BL-506 is the narrowest at 110 cm, useful in bathrooms where the bath sits between two walls. The Whirlpool bath BL-516, at 190 × 150 cm, is the most generous. Before choosing, measure the actual space between the walls and check the doorway: the bath arrives as a single piece.

How many jets, and what changes

Hydromassage specification runs from 6 to 12 jets. The Whirlpool bath BL-506 and the Whirlpool bath BL-516 carry the highest count, spread across two facing positions; the six-jet models go for a more discreet hydromassage, suited to anyone who uses the bath mainly for bathing and only occasionally for massage. Empty weight runs from 80 kg on the Whirlpool bath BL-510 to 185 kg on the Whirlpool bath BL-516: normal figures for a bathtub, in the order of magnitude of the one being replaced.

Installation: what is actually needed

An indoor whirlpool bath needs what an ordinary bath needs, plus the electrical supply: a drain, hot and cold water feeds and a compliant socket with earth, protected by a residual current device. The equipment bay housing the pump must remain accessible through an inspection panel: this is the point most often forgotten at design stage, and it makes any later maintenance awkward. The water is heated at the mixer, as in a conventional bath, and drained after use.

Frequently asked questions about 2 person whirlpool baths

Can it be installed outdoors? No, it is not the right product. These baths are designed for indoor use: they have no independent heater and no insulation for outdoor conditions. For a garden or terrace you need an outdoor hot tub, which holds the water at temperature all year round.

Does the water stay warm during the bath? The temperature is the one you fill at and drops slowly, exactly as in a conventional bath. There is no heater holding it: that is the main difference against a hot tub.

How much does a two person whirlpool bath cost? The 10 models in the range run from € 2.489 to € 4.050. The difference comes down to dimensions, jet count and finishes.

What are the dimensions of a whirlpool bath for two? From 110 to 150 cm in width, with lengths between 150 and 190 cm. The 150 × 150 cm square models are the most compact in plan; the 120 × 185 cm rectangular ones replace a standard bath with no building work.

Is a special electrical installation required? No, but the socket must comply with bathroom regulations, with earth and residual current protection. The connection should be made by a qualified electrician, who issues the certificate of conformity.
