Why
you need a bath heater on your jetted bathtub
Unfortunately,
the same mixture of air and water that makes a jetted
tub so inviting, also causes the water to cool 60%
to 80% faster than a traditional bathtub without
therapy jets (see the chart below).
A tub with a bath heater eliminates the rapid cooling
of the water, providing you with a constant balance
of soothing hot water. The longer the water stays
at the proper temperature (the Comfort Zone), the
more you enjoy your bathing experience.
What
is the “Comfort Zone”?
The
length of time you linger and soothe your body
is dependent on your comfort level during your
bath. The Comfort Zone is the temperature that
does not allow the body to become chilled or
too hot. A jetted bath heater that utilizes
the 100% efficiency of Certified Real Heat™ technology
automatically maintains the bath water between
the comfortable temperatures of 102.5°F
and 104°F degrees. It totally eliminates
the need to add more hot water, allowing you
to just settle back, relax, and enjoy the solitude
of an uninterrupted soak. |

What
to look for when purchasing a bath with a heater.
There
are two types of whirlpool bath heaters on the market.
The older more troublesome heater with a manual reset
and Watertech’s trouble free automatically resetting
heater.
Should
you be in a whirlpool bath with a manual reset heater
and for some reason the heater trips to the off position,
you must get out of the tub, dry yourself, and remove
your tub’s access panel. Then you must reach under
your tub to locate and press the reset button to
restart your heater before returning to your bath.
With
Watertech’s whirlpool bath heater with automatic
reset you would not have to do anything but enjoy
your bath. The heater will reset itself to proper
operation after a brief time and you will not have
to interrupt your bath to take care of an annoying
and unnecessary task. Tub shoppers should ask about
this exclusive feature before purchasing their new
tub.
How
a heater saves energy
Without
a 100% efficient bath heater, you’re forced
to add more hot water to your jetted bath. This usually
means draining some cooler bath water to make room
for the added hot water, causing your domestic hot
water tank to work overtime. Over years, the savings
in both energy and water consumption using a Certified
Real Heat™ bath heater can be substantial, and
far exceed the cost of the heater.
How
to set the “Comfort Zone” temperature
The
moment you activate the therapy jet pump, the Certified
Real Heat™ bath heater activates automatically
and begins to maintain the Comfort Zone temperature.
There are no controls to set or forget to turn off.
If the temperature is slightly below the Comfort
Zone when the jets are activated, it takes only a
moment for the heater to achieve the desired warmth
of the Comfort Zone.
