DURAVIT’s increasing focus on bathrooms as a ‘private wellness oasis’ has seen the launch of diverse whirl systems that meet the requirements of various bathtubs and different pool cycles for its pools.

At the luxury end of the market, Duravit offers whirl systems that incorporate both the air and the jet systems.

“The air system comprises air jets embedded in the base of the tub. A fan releases lots of small bubbles of heated air into the water, which gently caress the body,” explains a spokesman for Duravit. “The rhythmical movements not only stimulate the circulation but they also have a deep, relaxing effect on the nervous system. This relieves everyday stress so that the body can relax in a wonderful feeling of calm.”

The jet system has jets set into the side walls that expel a mixture of air and water into the bathtub. “At the push of a button, the calves, thighs and back are given either a gentle or a powerful and soothing massage. The bubbles stimulate the tissue under the skin, muscular pain and tension are eased and circulation improves throughout the body. This generates a sensation of floating,” he adds.

Luxury whirl tubs combine the positive effects of both systems and are supplemented by rotating back massage jets that are carefully designed to target the back. These rotojets massage the shoulder and lumbar region, stimulating the circulation and invigorating the whole body. In the foot area, two adjustable, rotating water-air jets also stimulate the reflexology zones in the feet.

Duravit’s Nahho flotation tub, meanwhile, takes relaxation to new heights with a special whirl system featuring the Durapearl jets. These base jets generate a bubbling mix of water and air. “Thanks to thousands of small water bubbles and the ‘bushman’ neck rest, bathers can float and enjoy that wonderful feeling of stretching out and simply drifting in water – relaxation at its best,” the spokesman says.

Whirlpool

The German bathroom specialist also offers a choice of whirlpools including the Duravit Blue Moon and Sundeck whirlpools, which feature high-quality whirl jets. The three pre-programmed ‘Emotion’, ‘Relax’ and ‘Power’ cycles guarantee stimulation or relaxation to suit any mood, he points out.

“Together with the Durapearl base jets, powerful, directly adjustable back and foot massage jets with a mixture of air and water offer bubbling bathing pleasure. With LED coloured light and five possible coloured light programmes, whirling becomes a holistic experience and gently caresses both body and spirit,” the spokesman adds.

In addition, Duravit attaches great value to intuitive operating elements and ease of use. As a result, all functions and additional whirl tub modules, such as LED coloured light, ultraviolet (UV) hygiene management and the temperature module, can be operated via a control element that is fitted into the rim of the tub. In the whirlpools, the three pool cycles are operated by remote control.
