Whirlpool Type Bathtub - Recommendation

[klikster]

Have promised the wife a whirlpool type bathtub. Corner style works best for our bath.

Brands recommended?

Caveats?

ha ha ha . . . I was just in another thread ! NOT Thai brand ! I see the service team every other months :-( either leaking, motor failure, control malfunction . . . imported equivalent is very expensive !

be reminded that Thai water has very high calcium content - hard water. it makes even our washing machine runs shorter life :-( buying a bathtub is not an issue, but maintain it is a huge effort !

don't tell you wife you learnt from ThaiVisa :-)

I would worry more about the hot water delivery than the tub. Having been-there-done-that, unless your wifey is already hooked on tub baths, it isn't going to get used that much anyway. But, they look good.

ETatBangkok - What are the imported brands and how expensive. Re control function .. is that the electronic touch pads?

bankruatsteve - re. hot water, I'm planning on using a gas heater. About hardness (calcium), I will have a water softener. And a promise is a promise.

mine is from Cotto, beautiful look, but having problem too frequent - I mean every month something, either water connection, electrical ( motor ), or electronic ( control panel ). it was about THB200,000 5 years ago. yeah, I have a 10KW heater hooked up as well.

imported brands available in those shops in soi Thonglar. price starting from THB500,000. don't laugh, a lot of Thai buying it.
