Number of modes
The number of operating modes provided in the design of the bath.
The mode in this case means a certain predetermined format of work, which may include one type of massage (see below) or several types at the same time, the use of additional functions (see "Features"), etc. For example, a model with
3 modes may include only vibromassage, vibromassage plus jacuzzi, and "vibro plus jacuzzi plus maintenance the temperature". The specific combination of individual modes can vary significantly between different models, and it's essential to consult the manufacturer's documentation for precise details, however, the
more options, the more versatile the device is and the higher the probability of finding the optimally suitable programme of work in it.
It's important to consider that in models featuring rotary switches (refer to "Control"), the number of modes typically aligns with the number of switch positions. However, in baths with push-button controls, there are variations where no predefined programs are present, allowing users to customize their experience by selecting from a wide array of available massage types and additional features. In such devices, the number of modes might not be specified at all.
Nozzles
Types of working attachments supplied with the massage bath.
—
Roller. The nozzle takes the shape of a compact horizontal drum with distinct raised features, resembling either "pimples" or rounded "spikes." During the massage, one should roll this drum with their foot, and these protrusions create a targeted sensation akin to acupuncture massage techniques (refer to "Types of massage"). The placement and quantity of these rollers can vary, with some models featuring a single central nozzle and others having one or two pairs of rollers at the base, providing one or two rollers for each leg.
—
Ball. Ball nozzles are called round-shaped nozzles with a convex surface and balls recessed into it, playing the role of massage protrusions. Unlike a roller one, the nozzle rotates not around a horizontal, but around a vertical axis, and the balls have a large area of contact with the skin and have a softer effect on the foot.
—
Pumice. Nozzle, the main working element of which is a piece of pumice stone. Due to its hardness and porous structure, pumice is well suited for removing rough skin on the feet.
—
Brush. The nozzle in the form of a brush does not apply to massage, but it is often used in pedicure.
In addition to those described above, other types of nozzles may also be included in the d
...elivery of modern baths: loofah pads (they act like pumice, but softer), special sponges, etc.
