Get in touch with @jaggi. He builds and sells homes. He might be able to guide you better.

But whatever Jacuzzi you select make sure it is wired by a proper electrician with an appropriate GFCI or RCD breaker. Dying naked in a Jacuzzi tub is not the best way to get to heaven

memad (memad) 2014-05-29 08:55:17 +0500 #3

Or atleast wear kacha while using so as to avoid being naked while entering heaven.

As Jaggi explained, The best is to read the user manual and guide the technician and recheck his work.

I say it's useless. I know lots of people have the jacuzzi baths in their bathrooms but however, it's just a waste of money and water. Nobody cannot spare more then 10 minutes of bathing and also it's bit difficult. But here's my suggestion, why not go for shower panel? Shower panels are bit cheaper, still requires a pressure pump. But I have seen most panels have lots of jets and a decent one wouldn't cost more then 28k. It starts from 22k, with the full faucet set. But still, do discuss this with @jaggi. And don't hesitate to see his current project that he has for sale right now. He'll guide you best. Or why not fit this over a Jacuzzi? It starts from 100k in most stores

And here's an example of a decent shower panel.

Jacuzzi is also a good option, but takes lots of space.

Jacuzzi is just fancy chit man, no one has the time for that in Pakistan.
I have a shower, forgot to install pressure pump.
Use Bucket and that jug thing to have a shower, awesome feeling. #oldschool.

If you do get it installed- Make sure it is wired properly. Spend some extra bucks and enjoy it.

Exactly as like I said, Jacuzzi is just a waste of space, money and useless. But the best bathing experience you could get is either from a shower cabin (the pic I posted) and the shower panel with jets. That cabin costs as much as the jacuzzi would. But who seriously uses the bucket-jug now? I used to use it when I was kid, but it takes lots of time and water gets cold. Only useful when there's no water in the house. Most people fit it, just to increase the price of the house that's it. I know most of my family members that live in Phase 5, it's difficult to use the jacuzzi.

BTW, the shower cabin (which I'm talking about) also comes with Radio, and some models my come with TV. But I would prefer the one which comes with a iPod/Phone dock which is in waterproof area.

Salam.

The feeling of relaxation when you are laying in a jacuzzi with hot air being pumped towards you in the winter cannot be experienced in a shower. Showers are good if yoy are in a hurry but If I have the time I would prefer to be in a jacuzzi in a cold winters night. Everyone has their own preferences and choices.

Ok I visited AbuYousuf on ferozpur road and the price of round 5 foot jacuzzi was 95k..then visited Karavan traders on Multan Road and to my surprise the same jacuzzi was for 55k without negotiations....same brand..same size...the guy told me that motor is Thailand made rest all is assembled here..

TheGreatOneAK316 (TheGreatOneAK316) 2014-06-02 23:28:59 +0500 #13

The one that's costing 55k is more of a cheap rip-off, avoid it. Parts are third class though.
Avoid it. For sure, even the motor is also a cheap quality crap.

I used to do that as a kid. I used to swim in a swimming pool filled with tube-well water.

jacuzzi - and we are all guys here right?

I have never used anything other than a shower, or bucket - I have even took baths under natural waterfalls and they were awesome. - Why the hell would I want to lie in a pool of my own bath water?

Here is the tub and installation in my basement en-suite. In the last 7 years, I have used it as a jacuzzi twice.
1. Water is expensive.
2. Takes a while to fill up and water loses heat.

I do use the tub daily for shower as I have a shower mounted on the wall separately.

It is a chinese unit, and the quality shows. some fittings went bad after 5 years. there is a bit of bubbling on a couple of spots.
I am not sure, how it will react to pakistani cleaning solutions.

I will recommend a single person jacuzzi with certain conditions. if you have a family member that can benefit from hot water baths i.e. arthritis etc. and water supply will not be a problem, also buy the unit that has a built in water heater/warmer so that the water does not get cold in a little while.

it is a nice experience once in a while if one can deal with the hassle.

For a guest washroom, it looks fancy (sho-sha) as long as there is a seperate shower.

A good long hot soak does wonders for aching joints.
