Not all hydromassages are equal
Hydromassage is a collective term for therapies that stimulate the circulation of the skin, muscles and soft tissues with the help of water pressure, heat and sometimes water/air mixtures. Tensions are relieved gently.
This type of therapy is problematic for people who are sensitive to skin irritations, as the chemicals contained in the water are massaged into the skin along with the water pressure.
Whirlpool
The combination of light water pressure, air bubbles, heat and weightlessness is suitable for relaxation and recuperation. However, this is not possible in swimming pools as the heat is not sufficient.
Combination devices: counter-current system / massage
Many counter-current units can be used directly for massage or have hoses that can be used to massage specific parts of the body. The disadvantage is that the pressure is often too high. Attaching the hoses is tedious and the massage effect is not very relaxing. Without a hose, only the upper back can be massaged.
Massage jets
You may know this type of hydromassage from public SPAs. Nozzles of different strengths are located in the wall at different heights, where different parts of the body can be massaged comfortably. This is rarely found in private pools. It requires a separate pump with high-quality jets and a technical room near the pool. This purchase is expensive and cannot be combined with plastic pools.
The steel/chrome steel container pools from oekopool.ch have a separate massage corner with professional chrome steel jets.
