How a Whirlbathe Conversion System is Installed
Our first step in installing a Whirlbathe whirlpool conversion system is to determine the wall entry location through which the hollow parts of the bathtub can be accessed. This may be a bedroom, closet, cabinet, hallway, shower or any interior or exterior wall located at either end or side of the bathtub. We then neatly gain access into the wall. Only one access is needed.
Next, we mark the jet locations and drill the holes in the tub. Utilizing our patented design and cable system, we pull the heat-formed rigid pipe arms into place. After attaching the jets to the tub, the pump is mounted onto a platform inside the 2x4 wall. The access opening is then neatly finsished off so that you cannot tell we were in the wall.
We also offer optional standard or spinning jets, adjustable flow jets and neck jets.
Whirlbathe Conversion System vs.
Common Whirlpool Parts
Commonly available whirlpool parts are designed specifically for installing on new bathtubs built on factory assembly lines. Installing a whirlpool system on an existing bathtub without removal requires a completely different technique and specially designed equipment as the parts must be installed through a small access opening. Whirlbathe invested over many years to solve these problems, for which we recieved five patents. Accept no inferrior substitute. Install a superior Whirlbathe system.

It is easy to spend $3,000 to $20,000 on a total bathroom renovation, depending upon the quality of the job desired.
