đ Do Jetted Tubs Need a Heater? The One Upgrade That Makes All the Difference
Share
Â
Thereâs nothing better than slipping into a warm whirlpool tub at the end of a long dayâuntil the water starts to cool down way too fast.
If youâve ever found yourself constantly adding hot water just to maintain a comfortable temperature, youâre not alone. Many homeowners with jetted tubs are now turning to a simple, affordable solution: adding a whirlpool tub heater.
But do jetted tubs really need a heater? And which heater is best?
Letâs break it down.
---
đ„ Why Do Jetted Tubs Cool Down So Fast?
Most jetted bathtubs rely on your homeâs hot water system to fill the tub. Once the water is in the tub, the motor circulates itâbut doesnât reheat it. Unlike hot tubs or Jacuzzis, jetted bathtubs typically donât include a built-in heater.
That means your luxurious soak might turn lukewarm in just 10â15 minutes.
â The Benefits of a Whirlpool Tub Heater
Installing a heater in your jetted tub solves this issue instantly. Hereâs why thousands of homeowners are making the switch:
1. Keeps Water Warm for Longer
A 1500-watt whirlpool heater can maintain your desired temperature without needing to refill the tub.
2. Saves Water and Energy
Instead of draining and refilling hot water, the heater maintains warmth more efficientlyâespecially if it has auto-sensing features.
3. Enhances Spa-Like Comfort
Warm water not only feels greatâit can improve circulation, relax muscles, and reduce stress.
