You probably both know the words wellness and spa and are often thought of as one. But do these words really belong together? What does spa have to do with wellness and what is the definition of wellness? What are the differences between the types of baths you find in a spa?

Wellness can be thought of as a kind of lifestyle. The word wellness is a combination of well-being and fitness. Here it is essential that the body and mind are healthy. Therefore, visiting a spa is not the definition of wellness, but it can promote the health of your body and mind.

Today, most do lead busy lives; some like it better than others. It's good to take a break every now and then. The spa offers a solution to give yourself a little peace of mind. Spa is also considered an abbreviation of "Sanitas Per Aqua," meaning "health through water. This interpretation probably came about after the word came into being. Visiting a spa brings relaxation to the body and mind. 

At Welvaere we sell the original hot tubs, as they were traditionally conceived in Scandinavia only a bit more modern. But what makes the difference between the hot tub, the Jacuzzi and the Whirlpool?

First, the hot tub, our own product. A hot tub is a traditional Scandinavian product and consisted of a wooden barrel filled with water. The wooden barrel was heated by a wood fire. Today the hot tub has undergone an upgrade, the wooden barrel has received a plastic inner tub. The hot tub is the most classic form of spa tub and is sometimes considered the precursor to the new-fangled spa. You can make a hot tub as modern as you like. Consider adding a bubble, jet and LED system.

Features hot tub

  • Round spa bath
  • Wooden frame
  • Traditional wood-fired (but also electric possible)
  • With or without bubbles

Jacuzzi is not actually a category among spa baths. Jacuzzi is actually just a brand name of a company that makes hot tubs. So the spa bath referred to as Jacuzzi is simply a hot tub. The name has become so well known that it is used appropriately and inappropriately for almost any hot tub.

Features Jacuzzi:

  • Square spa bath
  • Plastic surround
  • Electrically heated
  • Bubbles through air
  • Brand name

Finally, the Whirlpool, this too is a type of whirlpool tub. Whirlpool literally means whirlpool. The bath is characterized by the jets of water pumped into the whirlpool. The distinction between a standard bubble bath and a whirlpool is that a bubble bath uses air to create bubbles and in a whirlpool, water is used to get the whirlpool effect. 

Features Whirlpool:

  • Square spa bath
  • Plastic surround
  • Electrically heated
  • Bubbles by water jets
