Jacuzzi Whirlpool Tubs

“Dem Bones”
I don’t know if it’s my current sore back or my age—or both—but I have taken quite an interest in in-home spas recently in these blogs. There are, of course, all sorts of reasons for purchasing a spa for your home, beginning with the obvious. I still maintain that a spa is the ultimate luxury you can ever bestow upon yourself. Slipping into a tub large enough to permit one to submerge one’s entire body is almost hedonistic all in itself. And, nothing really surpasses a spa for therapy. In fact, given that my back is tightening up even as I type these lines, I expect to be in my own spa when I’ve finished writing this blog!
But if I had my druthers, I would very much rather that the spa I’m going to be inside the house, not outside it. The only saving grace of the obligatory trip to my outside spa is that I live in San Diego. I cannot imagine the “horror” of taking such a journey in my native Montana during the winter months. Although during the winter months, I suspect it would be converted to a rather small ice skating rink! But to return to the subject at hand, what I most think a person should do, if it is at all possible to do so, is to install a spa alongside the shower in the master bathroom. Do that, Mr. Husband who doesn’t really care all that much about the wife’s remodeling plans, and I can safely promise you a life of peaches and cream. Who knows? It might even extend to a bit of peace on Football Sundays!
All of which brings us to a man people like me have come to learn to love, Roy Jacuzzi, who invented and marketed the first self-contained, fully integrated whirlpool bath in 1968. In 1970 Jacuzzi added heating and filtration systems 
to keep the water warm and clean, and since then they have added one innovative feature after another. Which brings us to today’s blog.
The new Aquasoul Extra is an extra wide bathtub from Jacuzzi that puts the “indulge” in indulgent. Jacuzzi’s whole thing has always been luxury massage jet bathing and this tub certainly lives up to that billing! It has a glossy white finish, all the better to set off the clear blue plastic headsets, and the remote control operation simply adds another level of hedonism to the overall design. And with it’s extra-wide size, it will easily accommodate you and another, which is a hedonism all in itself, just soaking and talking for hour after hour while the world just gradually melts away.
We’ve also featured the designer bathtub from Jacuzzi Europe, designed by Carlo Urbinati. This particular line of tubs comes in a wide range, complemented by a variety of tub sizes and designs, including one- and two-person whirlpool tubs; built-in, stand alone and corner whirlpool configurations. Really, the sky’s the limit with these tubs, which means they can fit into almost any bathroom. If you have room for a tub and a shower, the tub you install should really be a Jacuzzi spa for reasons already stated. Nothing relaxes one quite so much as the hot water and those jets. And now, by gosh, Jacuzzi has taken that one further by including not only remote controls, but four signature massage settings: Silence, Breathe, Renew and Dream. Although, from where I sit, I have to say that they should all be called Renew, because that’s what they do for old bones, even bones as old as mine!
