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.
