The most important thing first

Infrared in the hot tub complements the classic hydromassage with targeted warmth and light on selected body areas. With InfraJet technology, water jet massage is combined with red light and near-infrared light to make the wellness experience feel more individualized. Badewell demonstrates this solution in Sursee directly at the hot tub and advises which equipment fits.

What we repeatedly notice in practice: the best wellness solution is the one that fits into a busy everyday life. That is exactly why the combination of water, massage and targeted warmth is so exciting for many.

What is behind InfraJet technology?

The InfraJets combine the classic water jet massage with red and near-infrared light. According to the article, the specially developed nozzles emit two light waves in addition to the water jet: red light at 660 nanometers and near-infrared light at 850 nanometers. While the water jet massages the muscles, the desired body part is simultaneously illuminated with light.

The goal is not a completely new bathing ritual, but an extension of the familiar hot tub experience. Instead of using warmth, massage and relaxation separately, these elements come together in one application.

Why does infrared fit well in the hot tub?

For many, a hot tub is already the place where the body calms down after a long day. With additional infrared light, it becomes an application that can focus more on individual areas like the back, lower back or shoulders. Especially after physical exertion or long periods of sitting, this can provide a more conscious sense of recovery.

The combination is particularly interesting when you don’t need the same thing every day. Sometimes pure relaxation is the goal, sometimes the desire to target overworked muscle areas.

  • Relaxation after a long workday
  • Beneficial break after sport, hiking or a ski day
  • Targeted application for back, lower back and shoulders
  • More variety in your personal wellness ritual

How to use the heat application correctly?

The application is uncomplicated according to the article. You sit comfortably, align the InfraJets to the desired body region and enjoy the combination of hydromassage and light for about 15 to 25 minutes. The recommended maximum application time is 30 minutes.

Afterwards, a little rest and enough water is worthwhile. This keeps the experience pleasant and can be incorporated as a small ritual into daily life.

What you should pay attention to

The article recommends not using it for more than 30 minutes. If you use infrared warmth in the hot tub in a targeted way, you should also take time to wind down afterwards and drink plenty of fluids.

Badewell AG in Sursee demonstrates InfraJet technology directly at the hot tub and advises on suitable models on site. The showroom covers over 2,000 m² and offers with its own test room the possibility to not only view wellness products but also experience them. If you are interested in a home solution, you can compare different options in person.

We at Badewell AG often experience that this practical impression makes the difference. Only when customers can picture the effect in daily life does it become clear which equipment truly fits their needs.
