How to choose a whirlpool bath

Before purchasing plumbing fixtures, you need to consider a few simple criteria that will help you purchase a high-quality model.

Product design

When selecting, you should examine the appearance of the bathroom, its depth, light and dimensions.
Experts recommend choosing compact models for arranging small spaces;

Material

It is important to pay special attention to the composition of each model. Products made of cast iron and acrylic alloys are on sale.
Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, acrylic whirlpool baths have minimal weight, but require careful installation.
Any sudden movement can cause deformation of the base, resulting in leaks.
Cast iron products, on the contrary, have enormous weight and are easy to install. The only drawback of such models is their high cost.
The price of such a hot tub can range from 15,000 to 45,000 rubles;

Set of options

In this case, it should be noted that great functionality is reflected in the price range of the product.
Thanks to the options, it is possible to achieve the required level of vibration and speed of delivery of the massage wave;

Possibility of adjusting the position of the legs. As a rule, modern products have legs with height adjusters;

Cost of a hot tub. The higher the price, the more options and the higher the quality of the bath bowl;

How to choose an acrylic bathtub

Why do identical acrylic bathtubs have different prices? Acrylic bathtubs only at first glance do not differ from each other in anything except size and shape. In fact, different types of plastic are used for their production, which are collectively called acrylic. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The first option is ABS plastic . It is a multi-layer “sandwich”, which contains several layers of porous extruded ABS material and 1 top layer of 100% acrylic (PMMA). This plastic is cheaper, but you need to understand that its pure acrylic layer is very thin (0.4-0.5 mm, and in cheap models - generally about 0.2 mm). For this reason, ABS is less resistant to environmental influences: it is more susceptible to mechanical damage and may turn yellow over time from contact with water and detergents.

Another nuance of using bathtubs made of ABS: the expansion characteristics of extruded and pure plastic are different, because of this, with regular heating and cooling, microcracks may appear on the surface of the plumbing fixtures. Over time, dirt accumulates in them and the original whiteness of the coating is lost. This moment has practically no effect on the performance characteristics.

The second option is 100% cast acrylic . It is a colorless plastic that, when heated, acquires viscosity and plasticity. The technology for manufacturing the material involves pouring thermoplastic resins into special molds and polymerizing them in a steam oven. The result is a durable, hard and wear-resistant material, from which premium quality bathtubs are then made. Plumbing fixtures made from cast acrylic can serve without complaints for up to 20 years. To maintain its original appearance, the surface can be periodically sanded with a felt wheel.

According to our data, 100% cast acrylic is used:

Riho (Czech Republic and Holland)
Jacob Delafon (France)
AQUATEK (Russia)
Excellent (Poland)
Ravak (Czech Republic)
Kolpa-San (Slovenia)
Alpen (Czech Republic and Poland)
Pool Spa (Spain)

Types of acrylic bathtubs

Acrylic bathtubs offered by global manufacturers are made from three types of raw materials: homogeneous cast acrylic, extrusion material (caffino, supplied to Asian and CIS countries), combined plastic (ABS+PMMA) with acrylic spraying.

Block models

Polymer bathtubs made from block acrylic meet high requirements for strength and wear resistance. The material is made by polymerization under high temperatures. Glass bowls made up of two parts are used for molding products. The mold is tightly connected, the gap between the glasses is filled with a powdery compound. The workpiece is placed in a special furnace; under the influence of temperature, the powder is fused into a single structure. The mold is cooled and a finished plastic bath is obtained.

Extruded products

Extruded acrylic bathtubs have a multi-layer coating. The basis is high-strength ABC plastic, the top layer of material is melted and covered with liquid acrylic mass. Both layers are fused together to form a single product. The plastic base provides the acrylic bathtub with resistance to cracks and deformation. The resulting products are considered elite modifications, due to their reliability, durability, subject to operating rules.

Cast bowls

Cast acrylic bathtubs make up the segment of inexpensive sanitary ware; they are strong and durable. The manufacturing process is as simple as possible. Liquid acrylic mass is poured onto a polished metal sheet, forming a solid sheet of a given thickness. The workpiece is placed under a press, the cup of the desired sample is squeezed out.

Carefully! Many sellers sell acrylic cast hot tubs, which occupy most of the construction market, for the price of extruded plastic.

The peculiarity of cast bowls is the need to use a reinforced metal frame that supports the body in a given position and prevents damage.

Acrylic thickness

How thick should a good acrylic bathtub be? Many operational characteristics of the bathtub depend on the thickness of the acrylic sheet: how strong it is and how susceptible it is to deformation, how long it holds heat, etc. Naturally, the thicker the acrylic, the better. Ideally, if the thickness of the material is 5-6.5 mm; good if 4-5 mm; and worse if less than 4 mm.

You can determine the thickness of the acrylic of a particular model by the thickness of the side or drain hole. In reality, finding a bathtub with acrylic layers larger than 5 mm is not easy. The fact is that bathtub manufacturers, in order to save money, usually use materials of the minimum thickness required for operation. If 4-5 mm can withstand, then why overpay? In addition, during the manufacturing process of the bathtub, acrylic is heated and stretched at the molding stage, so it thins somewhat, and does so unevenly. and the manufacturers themselves, even if they indicate the thickness of the acrylic layer in the documentation, do not specify anywhere whether it is initial or final.

Reinforcement

To prevent the bathtub from deforming from regular loads, manufacturers reinforce the bowl with various compounds and materials. The main ones are polyurethane foam and fiberglass. Bathtubs with polyurethane foam coating are rarely found on sale. Most models are reinforced with fiberglass. This composition is made from styrene-based ester resins. Styrene has a strong odor, so some bathtubs can smell quite unpleasant at the beginning of their use, especially when the coating comes into contact with hot water. Over time, the smell, of course, dissipates.

The more layers of fiberglass, the stronger the bathtub will be. A coating of 3-5 layers is considered optimal, 1-2 layers is not enough. You can visually assess the thickness and uniformity of the reinforcing coating right in the store. To do this, look under the bathtub and shine a flashlight on its side. The surface should not be visible at all or in spots. In practice, most models, regardless of brand, are still translucent: some a little less, others a little more. You can only rely on the integrity of the manufacturers and on the fact that the quality of their reinforcement is good enough for safe everyday use of the bathtub.

The best Russian bathtub manufacturers

If we rely on the opinions of specialists involved in the installation and maintenance of plumbing fixtures, and those who have already purchased acrylic bathtubs and tried them, then there are at least a dozen domestic companies and firms whose products have proven themselves very worthy. This is confirmed by the leading places occupied at various international exhibitions. And this is despite great competition.

"Aquatek"

Experts note these baths as the best in terms of price/quality. The peculiarity of the product is the use of only cast acrylic. Wall thickness – at least 5 mm. The vast majority of models are equipped with a metal frame, which allows these baths to be equipped with hydromassage nozzles.

"Bas"

They cost a little more, but are superior in quality to analogues from other brands. This was achieved by organizing production using equipment from Italy and America. Manufacturing is carried out using one of 2 technologies, differing in the specifics of acrylic reinforcement. In the first case, it is made of fiberglass, in the second - with the help of PU foam, due to which the overall weight of the bath is reduced.

"Triton"

In the unspoken “table of ranks,” acrylic bathtubs under this brand are given an honorable third place. Reinforcement is made of fiberglass, but all materials used in production are only imported and of the highest quality.

"1Marka"

Kazan manufacturers have been on the market for a decade and a half. They specialize not only in acrylic bathtubs, but also other plumbing fixtures. The seriousness of the enterprise is evidenced by the presence of its own design bureau, that is, the company is developing models from scratch, taking into account consumer requests.

If you wish, you can make an individual order, according to your own original drawings, and not be content with the standard sizes of bathtubs that are presented in retail outlets. A wide range of prices (from 3,900 rubles) makes products under the 1Marka label accessible to all segments of the population.

"Alpen"

The company supplying the market with acrylic bathtubs of this brand is relatively young, but has already entered the TOP of the best Russian manufacturers. One of the reasons for this success is taking into account the shortcomings of competitors, using positive experience and constantly improving production technology.

"Aquanet"

If baths were evaluated only by the ease of taking procedures and the variety of assortment, then products under this brand would be in first place among the leaders. But the quality is somewhat lower, since the acrylic used, although 5 mm, is not cast, but sheet. Although if used carefully this does not matter much.

Russian manufacturers such as Kirovsky and Akrilan have also proven themselves well.

Those who a priori focus only on imported goods can be advised to pay attention to acrylic bathtubs under the brands “Pool Spa”, “Ravak”, “Kolo”, “Cersanit”, “Villeroy&Boch”, “Riho”, “Bellrado”. You won't regret purchasing any of them.

Which bathtub is better: acrylic, cast iron or steel?

In terms of performance and aesthetic characteristics, acrylic models are head and shoulders above their cast iron and steel counterparts. Among their main advantages:

possibility of repair and restoration;
durability (with adequate operation);
non-slip surface of the material;
warmth of the material (unlike steel and cast iron baths, which require time to warm up to a comfortable temperature);
excellent noise insulation and heat insulation properties;
antibacterial properties of acrylic surfaces;
light weight, simplifying delivery and installation, which certainly cannot be said about cast iron and steel options;
variety of sizes, shapes and configurations;
the possibility of retrofitting the bathtub with the options of a real spa complex: hydromassage, lighting, aroma and chromotherapy options, etc.

Of course, acrylic bathtubs are not ideal. In some respects they are inferior to products made of steel and cast iron. This applies to their following qualities:

susceptibility to mechanical damage, although acrylic is durable, if you drop something heavy on it, it can crack or split;
sensitivity to abrasive detergents; acrylic bathtubs can only be washed with special soft compounds;
high cost of models equipped with additional equipment.

The listed disadvantages may not appear at all if you approach the issue of choosing a bathtub competently and treat it with care after purchase, observing the basic rules of operation. That is why acrylic models have long and firmly conquered the entire Russian and European bathtub market.

How to care for an acrylic bathtub?

The main component of acrylic surface care is regularity. The polymer is afraid of abrasive cleaning agents and rough washcloths. Wipe the surface daily with a soft cloth soaked in warm water - this is the option that will preserve the original appearance of the product for a long time. In addition, there are a number of additional rules.

You should choose special cleaning products suitable for this type of bathtub. They can be used once every 10-14 days.
Rub the surface with polish once every two weeks.
If a scratch appears, it must be repaired as quickly as possible.
If a whirlpool system is installed, clean and disinfect it once a month.
Do not use boiling water or steam for cleaning.

Follow simple care rules and enjoy your acrylic bathtub.

What is the service life of an acrylic bathtub?

If you properly care for your bathtub and use it carefully, it will last up to 20 years or longer without any complaints. But even if an unforeseen situation occurs and a chip or scratch forms on the surface of the bathtub, this damage can be corrected at home. To do this you will need a sander, polishing paste and liquid acrylic.

The scratch will need to be sanded with sandpaper with a grain size of 1200 microns and higher. Afterwards, the area around the damage is polished to a shine with polishing paste. Chips are filled with liquid acrylic. It is distributed over the resulting voids and allowed to dry. Next, the surface is ground and polished until the defect is completely eliminated.
