There are five extra bath functions to choose from:

Waterfall Function

Aromatherapy Bath Function

Bathtub Thermostat Function

Bathtub Pillow Function

Chromotherapy Function

Revi-skin Oxygen Therapy

 

Each function has incredible benefits for your mind and body. Keep reading below for more about these wonderful functions and their many benefits. 

Waterfall Function

While using your tub’s waterfall function, you’ll feel like you’re bathing in a waterfall. By imitating the flow of a natural waterfall, your tub will circulate water around your body. Moving water naturally filters impurities, giving you a cleaner and more refreshing bath. 

The waterfall function also gives you the therapeutic benefits of a natural spa. This is because when water circulates, it produces negative ions that increase your water’s oxygen content. 

Your body and mind will thank you for using your tub's waterfall function. Below are the incredible benefits of the waterfall function. 

• Relief from Stress and Anxiety: The simple rhythm of water works as white noise, which helps our minds turn off after a long and stressful day. This hydrotherapy promotes relaxation and decreases stress, so when you walk out of your tub, you’ll feel relaxed and refreshed. 

Repairs your Skin: The waterfall function produces negative ions in your tub’s water. These negative ions help fight off free radicals, which boost your cellular metabolism, rejuvenate your skin, and help it retain moisture. 

Better Sleep Quality: Circulating water regulates your body’s serotonin and melatonin. This reduces hypertension and stabilizes your nervous system. When this happens, your body sinks into relaxation, giving you some of the best sleep you’ve had in ages.

 

 

Boosts Your Immune System: Your tub’s waterfall function moves negative ions around your skin. This helps detoxify your body by boosting cellular metabolism and strengthening your immune system.

Aromatherapy Bath Function

Aromatherapy has been around for a long time. Many cultures around the world use aromatherapy to improve mental and physical wellness. 

By using essential oils while bathing, you’re promoting cleanliness and relaxation. Below are several other benefits of using an aromatherapy bath function. 

• Better Sleep: When you smell the soothing scents of essential oils, your brain will stop producing the harmful stress hormone cortisol. Many studies show that because of this, many essential oils such as chamomile and lavender will give you a better night’s rest. 

• Better Mood and Calmness: When you take a warm bath with essential oils like citrus and bergamot, your parasympathetic nervous system activates. This lowers your heart rate and blood pressure, giving your body more time to rest and recover from daily stress. 

• Better Digestion: An active parasympathetic nervous system doesn’t just help you relax, it also helps you digest your food better. Warm baths with essential oils like lemon and ginger can do wonders for your digestive system and can help relieve discomfort and bloating. 

• Relief from Muscle Pain: When you take a warm bath with essential oils like rosemary and peppermint, you’ll stimulate blood flow through your body. This delivers oxygen and nutrients to your muscles, which eases tension and discomfort.

Boasts your Immune System: Warm water helps stimulate the production of white blood cells in your body. These cells help boost your body’s natural immunity to diseases. When combined with oils like tea tree and eucalyptus, your body will have extra power to fight diseases and infections. 

Heals Your Skin: Warm baths with essential oils like olive and lavender can help soothe dry and irritated skin. Other essential oils such as tea tree have anti-fungal and antibacterial properties which clean your skin. Aromatherapy baths also cut down on fluid retention and improve toxin removal.

Bathtub Thermostat Function

Installing a bathtub thermostat in your tub helps keep your water temperature pleasant. You won’t have to keep filling your bathtub with water. 

Thermostats come in gas, electric, and immersion types. Thermostats are easy to install and fit onto most existing bathtubs. 

Benefits of a Thermostat Function in Your Tub

Having a thermostat function in your bath has several benefits. Below are just a few. 

Instant Hot Water: Thermostats will get your bath water warm quickly so you can say goodbye to waiting around for the water to get hot enough. 

Efficient Use of Energy: Compared to traditional water heaters, a thermostat function uses less energy to heat your tub, reducing your energy bill. 

Let’s You Enjoy Hot Water for Longer: Nobody likes having to end their soak early because the water got cold. Having a thermostat function lets you stay in the hot water for longer. 

Easy to Adjust Your Bath’s Temperature: With this function, you can keep your tub at the perfect temperature for as long as you want. 

Easy to Use: Thermostat functions are easy to use for everyone. 

Health Benefits of Taking a Hot Bath

Science has shown that hot baths have plenty of health benefits. By using a thermostat function, you can keep your bath warm and take advantage of the health benefits below: 

• Improves Your Mental Health: When you bath in hot water, you’ll immediately feel more relaxed. This helps calm your nervous system, easing anxiety and stress. 

• Helps Relieve Muscle and Joint Pain: Warm baths help boost your blood flow, which helps relieve muscle tension and soreness. 

Improved Sleep: When you take a warm bath before bed, your body will lower its core temperature and cortisol levels, signaling to your brain that it’s time to sleep. 

Boosts Immune System: Some studies show that bathing in hot water may help your immune system. Hot water also opens your nasal passages, making it easier to breathe and relax.

Bathtub Pillow 

 

Bathtubs often have narrow edges. When you rest your head on them, you’re not getting the support you need for your cervical spine. 

If you want maximum comfort and support while bathing, consider the bathtub pillow function. These pillows come in several styles and can help prevent neck soreness and muscle strain. 

Choosing the Perfect Bathtub Pillow

When choosing your pillow, it’s important to look for these important qualities: 

Resistance to Bacteria: Choose waterproof bathtub pillows that will prevent moisture buildup and eliminate bacteria growth. 

Durability: Choose long-lasting, waterproof, and heat-resistant materials like vinyl and EVA. 

Removable Features: Choose a pillow with high-quality suction cups that allows it to detach easily. This way, you’ll be able to secure your pillow where you need and easily remove it for cleaning. 

Bathtub Pillow Designs

Two main pillow designs are made for your comfort. Each design prevents muscle pain and neck strain and looks great attached to your tub. 

Waterfall Design: These comfortable pillows use flowing water to massage your sore neck muscles. They are better for your spine than the typical massage pillows, which can pose safety risks and be hard to clean. 

Round Pillow for People with Cervical Spondylosis: The round pillow is designed‌ to support the natural curvature of your neck and help stretch your cervical spine with the help of hot steam in your bath. Each pillow is made from waterproof PU material, which keeps its shape and prevents bacteria growth no matter how much you use it. 

Customize Your Bathtub Pillow

You can find both pillow designs on our custom bathtubs page. 

Chromotherapy Bathtub 

Color is more than just aesthetics. They can influence your emotions and even your health. 

The chromotherapy bathtub uses different colored light wavelengths to help you feel amazing. It allows light to penetrate deep into your tissues, which can help treat skin issues, boost your energy, reduce inflammation, and help your circulation. 

Other benefits to chromotherapy include: 

• Reduced pain and swelling
• Helps speed up post-surgery recovery
• Can stimulate sleep and treat insomnia and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) 
• Helps stimulate collagen and elastin production for healthier skin

Colors and their Effects in Chromotherapy

Red: Soothes sore muscles, helps blood circulation, boosts collagen production, helps skin elasticity, and reduces inflammation. 

Yellow: Helps to lift your mood, aids in detoxification, stimulates the nervous system, and helps improve skin elasticity. 

Orange: Increases your energy, improves mood, and revitalizes dull and nutrient-deficient skin.

Blue: Reduces stress, helps promote sleep, fights inflammation, and treats skin redness. 

Green: Reduces stress, soothes inflammation in the skin, and helps heal discoloration. 

Purple: Treats acne, relieves anxiety, and helps fight harmful bacteria. 

Empava’s Chromotherapy Bathtub 

Our chromotherapy bathtub offers seven colors, each with unique therapeutic benefits. It uses multi-directional jets that give you a full-body massage, improving circulation and releasing muscle tension. 

Its interactive touch screen makes it easy to operate and control light intensity and water pressure. It’s made from high-quality, durable materials that will outlast other chromotherapy tubs on the market. 

 

Revi-skin Oxygen Therapy

The Revi-skin Oxygen Therapy feature breaks down water molecules and creates micro-bubbles. These tiny bubbles are almost 100 times smaller than your typical hot tub bubbles. 

 

These tiny bubbles are so small that they can cleanse your pores and supercharge your tub’s water with up to 70% more oxygen. This leads to incredible health benefits for your skin. 

 

Advantages of our Revi-Skin Oxygen Therapy

 

Oxygen has many benefits to our skin and overall health. Below are some common benefits you can enjoy with our Revi-Skin Oxygen Therapy function. 

 

Helps Alleviate Stress: Negative ions can help your body make serotonin, the sleep molecule. You’ll feel recharged and ready for a good night’s sleep. 

 

Deep Cleaning Power: The human pore is around 200 to 400 microns in diameter, only slightly larger than the average water molecule. Micro bubbles, with their diameter of 10 to 40 microns, can penetrate deep into your pores. 

 

Also, their negative ions can attach to positively charged molecules, including sebum buildup, dirt, allergens, and dead skin cells. When this happens, they can be removed from your pores. 

 

Moisturize Your Skin: Microbubbles can infuse water molecules into your pores and their inner walls, keeping them hydrated. A single session of Revi-Skin oxygen therapy can increase your skin's hydration by over 14% and increase its softness by 10% compared to skin left untreated. 

 

Repair and Rejuvenate Your Skin: As we age, our skin attracts all kinds of pollutants. It also loses its ability to take in oxygen. 

 

When micro-bubbles contact our skin and burst, they become negatively charged and full of oxygen. When this happens, they enter our pores and eliminate free radicals that have been shown to cause premature aging in our skin. 

 

Keeps Germs Out: Microbubbles have a negative charge that fuses to the positive charge of most bacteria cells. When they burst, they eradicate the bacteria, including strains such as E. coli. 

 

Running a micro-bubble bath for as little as 10 minutes can destroy bacteria in your water and help treat skin conditions such as eczema. 

 

The Popularity of Oxygen Therapy

 

Oxygen therapy has won over many people around the world. Facial salons, spas, and dermatology clinics everywhere are using the feature to help improve their customer’s skin. 

 

Our customized bathtubs now offer an Oxygen Therapy feature. You’ll get to enjoy spa-quality hydrotherapy right in the comfort of your home.
