The user interface consists of a simple and intuitive operator panel on the tub, with 6 buttons and 1 display. The assembled tub measures 1500 x 714 x 1014 mm and holds 280 liters of water (without user). The tub body is made of fiberglass coated with neopentyl ceramic gelcoat; all components are designed to withstand thermal waters. Air/water delivery nozzles for the various treatments are fixed to the shell.
The shape of the tub is designed to be as ergonomic and safe as possible for the patient; it has a headrest recess, a side handle to help the patient sit down and stand up, and a door for patient entry and exit, with an opening of about 160°.
During configuration, the treatment duration can be selected from the following options: 10-15-20-25 minutes.

Safety overflow system, water-level sensor and bath-water temperature sensor.

Available treatments

Simple bath

The simple bath is one of the most widespread ways of using thermal water.
Thermal bathing offers many beneficial effects due to heat, the pressure of the water on all immersed parts of the body, humidification and washing. In this treatment, the patient is immersed in the tub, generally at a water temperature between 36 and 38°C; the bath lasts approximately 15 minutes. The therapeutic effects of the bath depend on the type of thermal water used and its chemical composition.

Air bubble bath

The treatment consists of simple air jets inside the tub filled with thermal water through 20 nozzles placed on the bottom of the tub.
Its main feature is the gentle delivery and pleasant massage produced on contact with the body.
Compressed air can be supplied either by actuators inside the tub (blower or turbine) or by a centralized system.

Hydromassage

The treatment uses the benefits of hydrotherapy and massage/massotherapy.
It is controlled by an electric pump inside the tub and by PVC piping connected to the 5 delivery nozzles, where air and water are mixed to generate the massage jet.
The delivery nozzles are adjustable to direct the massage action, while jet pressure is adjusted through four air regulators located on the tub edge.
With hydromassage, the automatic disinfection kit can be applied.

Optional accessories

  • Automatic disinfection kit
  • Ozone therapy The air bubble bath and hydromassage can be enriched with ozone, generated by a dedicated device and introduced into the tub, by Venturi effect, through the same air bubble bath nozzles and/or hydromassage jets. The massage on the skin is linked to the production of continuously renewed ozonated air bubbles.
  • Chromotherapy Inside the tub there are 2 RGB spotlights that can be activated together with each of the treatments described above. Using the dedicated button, it is possible to choose from 8 single colors (white, red, yellow, orange, green, light blue, blue or fuchsia) or from 3 color cycles (ENERGY, RELAX or TONIC).
  • External hand shower kit Hand shower with support mounted on the tub edge and tap for operation.
  • Mixer kit In case of manual filling from the tub edge, a mixer can be requested, operated by the operator to fill the tub with water.
