Number of modes
The number of operating modes provided in the design of the bath.
The mode in this case means a certain predetermined format of work, which may include one type of massage (see below) or several types at the same time, the use of additional functions (see "Features"), etc. For example, a model with
3 modes may include only vibromassage, vibromassage plus jacuzzi, and "vibro plus jacuzzi plus maintenance the temperature". The specific combination of individual modes can vary significantly between different models, and it's essential to consult the manufacturer's documentation for precise details, however, the
more options, the more versatile the device is and the higher the probability of finding the optimally suitable programme of work in it.
It's important to consider that in models featuring rotary switches (refer to "Control"), the number of modes typically aligns with the number of switch positions. However, in baths with push-button controls, there are variations where no predefined programs are present, allowing users to customize their experience by selecting from a wide array of available massage types and additional features. In such devices, the number of modes might not be specified at all.
Types of massage
Types of massage provided in the design of the bath.
—
Vibromassage. Impact with the help of small vibrations of the bottom of the bath — more precisely, the surface with which the foot is in contact.
—
Bubble (jacuzzi). Impact due to air bubbles generated by special nozzles at the bottom of the bath.
—
Acupuncture (point). This massage technique involves applying strong pressure to specific points on the feet. It's important to mention that in our catalog, this function is exclusively listed for baths equipped with textured bottoms that provide comprehensive foot stimulation through characteristic protrusions. While some manufacturers may reference acupressure in relation to roller nozzles (as explained below), it's essential to recognize that this remains a distinct type of massage despite similar effects.
—
Roller nozzle. This massage is carried out using a specific attachment (as described below): the user typically uses their foot to "roll" the roller. It bears many similarities to the previously mentioned acupuncture technique, but instead of providing a simultaneous effect on the entire foot, it targets only a small area.
The wide range of massage types available in the bath offers a diverse set of options. It's important to be aware that not all models permit the use of each m
...assage type individually. For instance, a bubble bath (jacuzzi) may only be activated in conjunction with vibration. Additionally, to choose the most suitable massage type, it's advisable to consult with an expert after determining the intended purpose of the bath purchase, whether it's for maintaining foot health, addressing skin concerns, achieving overall relaxation, or other specific goals.Power
The maximum power consumption of the bath during regular operation is a crucial factor, primarily influencing electricity usage. However, in modern massage baths, even the most potent models typically have relatively modest power requirements. Consequently, issues related to electrical connections are usually not a concern. You should primarily consider this parameter if energy conservation or minimizing the strain on your power grid is particularly important to you. It's worth noting that this factor also partly determines the device's class: advanced models, with their rich array of features, typically demand higher power, with rare exceptions.
