| In a word, pleasure. The magical combination
of hot water, swirled together with pulsating air, massages the body,
relaxes the muscles and sends the cares of the day packing. Whether
you have aches and pains pleading for therapeutic pampering, or just
the desire to relax and unwind, a jetted bathtub can be your personal
spa sanctuary; a warm pool of pleasure that beckons you to settle
in for a prolonged stay. |
| |
| |
 |
| 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 accompanying chart). 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. |
| |
| |
 |
| The length of time you linger and sooth 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 additional
hot water; allowing you to just settle back, relax and and enjoy the
solitude of an uninterrupted soak. |
| |
| |
 |
| Without a 100% efficient bath heater you’re
forced to continually 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. |
| |
| |
 |
| 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. |
| |
| |
 |
| It's the assurance that you are receiving
the maximum value for your jetted tub investment. With a bath heater
employing Certified Real Heat™ on your jetted tub, your investment
will pay dividends in relaxation, health, pleasure and most of all,
energy savings for many years to come. |
| |
| |
 |
There are alternative technologies that claim
to offer the same benefits as Certified Real Heat™ bath heaters.
None compares. The high efficiency rating, safety and performance
of Certified Real Heat™ bath heaters is unmatched by any alternative
heating mechanisms.
Think about it; would you ever consider heating your coffee water
to the correct temperature using your hair dryer? Look for the Certified
Real Heat™ seal on your bath heater to be sure you are getting
the absolute most for your jetted tub investment. |

 |
| Although not all jetted bathtubs come with
a heater as original equipment, many of the leading jetted bathtub
manufacturers realize that a bath heater is a desirable upgrade. More
and more manufacturers are shipping all their bathtubs with the exclusive
“Heater Ready” fitting. This fitting is essentially a threaded
blank in the plumbing that allows for the simple installation of a
Certified Real Heat™ heater without cutting into the plumbing.
So if you’re not convinced your jetted bathtub needs a heater
now, adding one at a later date is easy. Click to Companies that offer
CRH for a list of manufacturers that provide all their bathtubs with
a factory installed heater as an option or with the Heater Ready fitting. |

| Yes. Hydro-Quip makes compact inline heaters
that can be installed on the suction or pressure side of your plumbing,
as well as a Tee shaped model designed to attach directly to the circulation
pump outlet port. These are available for 1”, 1-1/2” and
2” pipe diameters. If your bathtub has room above the circulation
pump or a minimum of 7” of straight pipe, and access to a 120
Volt 15/20 AMP dedicated electrical circuit with GFCI (Ground-Fault-Circuit-Interrupter)
protection, a Certified Real Heat™ heater can be added to your
existing jetted bathtub. |

 |
| If you are comfortable tackling home improvement
projects the answer is most likely yes. The best way to determine
this is to go to the Technical section
and download the Installation Instructions. This will help you determine
whether you should install the heater yourself or call in your plumbing
professional. |
| |
| |
 |
No. As long as the heater is installed according
to Hydro-Quip’s installation instructions, the Federal Magnusson-Moss
Warranty Act stipulates that it is illegal for a manufacturer to void
a warranty because of the addition of a third party part unless that
part is the direct cause of a manufacturing defect.
Since Hydro-Quip heaters are supplied as original equipment on thousands
of jetted bathtubs every year they are totally compatible with the
materials used by every jetted bathtub manufacturer. |

| If your new bathtub is coming with a factory
installed heater, proper sizing has been taken care of for you. Additional
sizing information is available in the Heater
Models section of the web site. |

 |
| Because product performance and safety are
our primary concerns, our bath heaters are available only through
plumbers, or kitchen and bath retailers. Whether you plan to do it
yourself or have a heater installed for you, your professional specialist
will ask the right questions to insure you are getting the proper
model for your application. |
