Thinking about converting a bath to a jacuzzi with a kit like the ones from here....
Has anyone got a cheaper supplier in mind?
Thanks for the low down Paul

Have you heard one operating?
You need ear defenders.
I was going to get an air bath when I refurbished, but happened to see a spa going cheap when we were shopping for the bathroom, so that's where the money went.
Since then we've stayed at a couple of places that have spa baths, and after the novelty of the first time, we just didn't use it. If nothing else, they're noisy, you need a pretty full bath to make them work, and then they splash water out onto the floor. Unless you're prepared to spend an extra couple of hundred for an in-line water heater, they tend to cool down the bath quite quickly, especially if you go for the air-jet option.
Book yourself into a hotel, or B&B advertising they've got one. Couple of days and you'll not want to bother with one again. At least you'll have the pleasure of a couple of days of being waited on......
........where as we went down to wickes and bought a cheap bathroom suite (£600), and the guy offered us a whirlpool bath for around £150 extra (one day special offer) - so went for it!
three years later it still get used daily, and was one of the best things that we've bought in the house - if it breaks tomorrow it will have still been well worth the money!

Heinz baked beans, catering size. Simple, cheap, effective.
For added ambience cut holes in the bean tin with a hole saw and illuminate with a maglite. Don't be tempted to use candles though as your jacuzzi may unintentionally become an open air one.
Some have a slow hot water feed that is used to temper the air rather than an inline heater. These seem to work well.
We-ell, yes, but not the make the OP was looking at, y'know, the retro-fit DIY version....
Certainly available retro fit - my mum has one like that. It was a pro fit though (although there was nothing complicated about the fitting in reality)
But *not* the one the OP was looking at......
So? You were the one who brought up the subject of air baths! ;-)
My comments *about the model range* the OP was asking about - which had air jet options, an in-line water heater, but *no* trickle feed of hot water - were all relevant........
