At this year's Kitchen & Bath Industry Show in Las Vegas, the debate continued - air or jetted tubs? Where is the industry headed?
MTI Whirlpools offers water experiences of all types - deep-soak tubs, exercise spas, foot massagers and even laundry-sink agitators. And while the air bath trend is strong, a new whirlpool-cleansing system from the company have decreased the hazard potential for jetted tubs and opened up the market again. MTI believes both air and jets have their place. Director of Marketing Michael Kornowa even suggests installing both types.
Kornowa suggests that air holes be positioned at the bottom of the tub, so bubbles come up through and around the body, promoting blood circulation as the tiny bubbles break along the skin.
