Maintenance for old (1993) whirlpool tub?

I have a soaker tub with an in-line heater, so if I want to soak for a long time I can keep the water hot without having to add to it.

They also make tubs called air baths that are basically like taking a bath in bubbly champagne. I tried one out at the store but it didn’t do much for me. It’s suppose to be relaxing but the noise is too much for me. The air baths are actually more expensive than the whirlpools, I think because they are newer and in more demand.

You can also get a combo air bath/whirlpool…the most expensive option.

If you are remodeling and want to replace the current tub but you don’t really use it much, I would just get a soaker (that’s the cheapest option). OTOH, if you don’t really use the whirlpool tub anyway, you could just leave it if it’s in good condition and fits in with your remodeling.
