Consideration for a 2 Person Whirlpool Tub
Size
The first major consideration of any 2 person whirlpool tub is going to be its size. If it’s not obvious from the design that the tub is made for two people, you are going to want to look to the specs. As a rule of thumb, 80 Gallon Tub capacity is usually a comfortable fit. If the tub capacity isn’t available, you can also look at the size of the tub itself. 4 feet x 4 feet is the minimum size you would want for a 2 person tub. Anything smaller than this is going to get a bit cozy!
Electronics / Features
The second consideration to take is regarding the features of the tub. While all whirlpool tubs are going to come with basic features like jets, features that can set a product apart include things like lighting, multiple jet settings, and even audio! Keep in mind that more features is usually going to equate to a higher price tag. If you’re looking for luxury, the higher price can often be worth it!
Number of Jets
The number of jets is often overlooked when selecting a 2 person tub. Of course, everyone is going to have a personal preference when it comes to this, but there are some general guidelines you can follow. For a comfortable experience, try to find something with at least 6 designated jets per person. The layout of the jets is also going to be important. For a massage experience, the jets should be concentrated relatively close together and should point towards your back and upper body. If you just enjoy splashing around in the bubbles, the layout of the jets is not as important as the sheer quantity!
Frequently Asked Questions about the Best 2 Person Whirlpool Tub
What size tub is good for 2 people?
As we discussed above, size is going to be one of the most important considerations when selecting a 2 person whirlpool tub! Although there is no hard and fast rule on this, a good ballpark range is 80 gallons or at least 4 feet by 4 feet.
What is the difference between a jetted tub and a whirlpool tub?
A whirlpool tub is actually a type of jetted tub! There are generally 2 types of jetted tubs - air tubs and whirlpool tubs. An air tub shoots jets of air, while a whirlpool tub shoots jets of water. Both are great options and can provide an excellent massage experience. Many of the tubs on this list actually utilize both air and whirlpool jets, allowing you to get the best of both whirlds (excuse the horrible joke- I had to do it!).
Are whirlpool baths high maintenance?
Whirlpool baths may require a bit more maintenance and cleaning than a standard bathtub, but with a regular cleaning you can enjoy the luxury of a spa experience at minimal effort. Clean your tub at least once a month. Best practice is every 2 weeks. Household cleaning equipment should be enough to do the trick- but you will want to make sure that you are giving enough attention to the jets. If neglected over time, the jets can harbor algae or mold.
