Choosing a hydromassage mat for the bathroom

The bathroom is a zone of special comfort in every apartment, which can be increased by any detail, even the most insignificant at first glance. Fans of relaxation and water massage will equip their bathroom with a jacuzzi, but in order to save money, a hydromassage bath mat can be an excellent alternative to a jacuzzi. It allows you to get the whole range of positive emotions, thanks to its massage functions combined with the relaxing effects of water.

Device and application

Technical characteristics and device

Hydromassage mats consist of several main parts:

1. A rubber mat equipped with special suction cups for secure attachment to the bottom of the bathtub.
2. A hose about 2 m long that provides air supply.
3. Compression device. The main control devices are located on it (mode selection buttons, power control buttons).
4. A control panel for easy adjustment of the operation of the rug while in the bathroom.
5. Comfortable rubber pad that ensures the correct position of the head while taking a bath.

The compression device operates on electric current and has a standard power of 450W. All main components of the mat are made of completely waterproof materials to ensure increased safety.

Advantages and disadvantages

A hydromassage bath mat has a number of advantages:

• The effect of a full-fledged Jacuzzi in a regular bath.
• A gentle massage improves the functioning of the cardiovascular system and the entire circulatory system, and prevents skin aging.
• Aromatherapy has a beneficial effect on the nervous system, calms, and normalizes sleep.
• The combination of the massage effect with the influence of water allows you to relieve fatigue and saturate the body with energy.
• Antibacterial effect, which is achieved by filling the water with ozone and leads to the destruction of viruses and fungi.

The disadvantages include:

• The noise that a compression device makes.

Application principle

To use the mat correctly, you must strictly follow the instructions:

1. The rubber mat must be straightened, a hose is inserted into a special hole and secured. The other end of the hose is attached to a compression device.
2. You need to fill the bathtub with a small amount of water, the main thing is that the bottom is closed.
3. The mat is pressed to the bottom of the bathtub and attached using suction cups.
4. Then the bathroom is filled with water at the required temperature and to the required level.
5. The compressor is connected to the electrical network and the required mode and power level are selected.

After all steps of the instructions have been completed, the compressor begins to pump air into the mat through a rubber hose. The mat is completely filled with air, which then begins to escape through microscopic holes on the surface. Small air bubbles create a superb whirlpool effect.

Areas of use

A hydromassage mat can be used in several cases:

• As a prevention of colds (in combination with essential oils).
• To ease signs of depression, elevate mood, relieve muscle tension and spasms.
• To normalize the functioning of internal organs due to increased blood circulation.
• For weight loss and eliminating skin imperfections (sagging, cellulite).

How to choose the right hydromassage mat

In order for a massage bath mat to deliver a lot of positive emotions and perform all its functions to the fullest, it must be of high quality. Many companies sell cheap fakes that can still be distinguished from the original. Tips for choosing a rug:

1. Appearance. Pay attention to the material from which the rug itself is made. It should be quite dense and elastic, without uneven edges. The rug must have an aesthetic appearance. The remote control and compression device must be equipped with all the necessary buttons for control. If all the inscriptions are in a foreign language, instructions must be attached to the device.
2. Power. Hydromassage mats are intended exclusively for personal use; if high power is indicated on the devices, then it either does not correspond to reality, or the manufacturing process of the compressor does not meet the standards.
3. Additional functions and devices. A pillow under your head and a cartridge for essential oils are additional points for which you should choose a rug. Modern models are equipped with a heating system. This ensures the required constant water temperature. Air bubbles lower the water temperature quickly enough that the heating function becomes necessary.

[note]Water heating is carried out by heating the air. Warm air maintains the optimal temperature of the liquid and does not allow it to cool.[/note]

A hydromassage bath mat will turn any bathroom into a real paradise where you can relax, unwind and gain strength after a hectic day at work. In addition to the obvious massage procedures, human health, well-being and mood improve. This product can be a great gift for loved ones.
