A New Bathtub
Written by Shawna Currie

JETTED TUBS HAVE BECOME VERY POPULAR OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS - SO MUCH SO THAT THEY'RE ALMOST STANDARD FEATURES NOW IN NEW CONSTRUCTION. BUT WHAT IF YOU OWN AN EXISTING HOME AND HAVE A STANDARD BATHROOM AND YOU WANT TO ENJOY THAT JETTED TUB FEATURE? THERE ARE A COUPLE OF OPTIONS YOU OUGHT TO LOOK AT. YOU CAN ACTUALLY TAKE OUT THE EXISTING TUB THAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR BATHROOM NOW AND PUT A JETTED TUB RIGHT IN THE SAME SPACE.
NOW IF YOU WANT A JETTED TUB WHERE YOU ALREADY HAVE A REGULAR TUB, I'M GOING TO SUGGEST THAT YOU GO AHEAD AND HIRE A PLUMBER. TAKE THE OLD ONE OUT AND GO AHEAD AND PUT THE NEW ONE IN, CONNECTING ALL THE PIPES, MAKING SURE WE DON'T HAVE ANY LEAKS. AND REMEMBER: YOU'RE GOING TO NEED AN ELECTRICIAN AS WELL. THESE THINGS HAVE PUMPS. SOME OF THEM HAVE HEATERS. YOU NEED TO WIRE THOSE AND I'M SUGGESTING YOU DON'T DO THAT. IF YOU'VE GOT THE SPACE, IN THE SAME FIVE-FOOT SPACE ON ONE WALL, YOU AN GO ANOTHER FIVE FEET ON AN ADJACENT WALL AND ACTUALLY PUT A CORNER UNIT IN. THIS UNIT IS ACTUALLY BIG ENOUGH FOR TWO PEOPLE TO ENJOY THE JETTED TUB AT THE SAME TIME. AND, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ARE PUTTING THIS IN THE CORNER OF A BEDROOM. ON THIS UNIT, LOOK HOW EASY IT IS TO ACCESS THE PUMP OR THE HEATER, IN CASE YOU HAVE ANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A COMPLETE BATHROOM RENOVATION, DON SAYS MANY JETTED TUBS OR WHIRLPOOLS ARE PART OF A SUITE OF MATCHING PRODUCTS SO YOUR BATHROOM HAS A COORDINATED LOOK.
