Whirlpool Tub Options

Whirlpool jets can be designed to push either air or water from their spouts. Water jets recycle the water in the tub. There are also a variety of sizes and shapes available to match almost any space. Whirlpool tubs are available in fiberglass, acrylic or the much heavier cast iron option. Fiberglass is the most economical, while acrylic proves to be more durable.

Whirlpool Tub Installation Cost Factors

In addition to the price of the tub, the cost of installation can vary based on a number of factors. The size of the model and the amount of space available for placement can have an impact, particularly when modifications are necessary to make it fit. Extra support may be needed to handle the weight of the water, and there may be plumbing costs if the tub isn't matched to an existing faucet location.

Why Use a Professional

Installing a whirlpool tub is a challenging task that can lead to costly repairs if not done correctly. A professional has the experience to determine any issues that must be addressed before and during installation. These larger units need more support to handle the extra water weight. It's best to leave installation to a professional to avoid surprise expenses and prevent potential damage to the home.
