What is the difference between a whirlpool and a spa?
There are two main differences – Action and Cleaning: A whirlpool is Air and Water pumped through jets installed into the sides of the bath whereas a spa system is simply air blown through holes in the bottom of a bath. A whirlpool system can be thouroughly cleansed by re-circulating a cleansing solution through it. A spa or air bath can normally only be cleansed by filling the bottom of the bath with a sterilising solution and leaving it to soak.
