Stream Bath & Driftbath: Gentle Current Hydrotherapy Systems

Relax in a Gentle Current of Water.
Unlike the vigorous massage of a whirlpool or the bubbly sensation of an air bath, Gentle Current Hydrotherapy creates a soothing flow of water that caresses the body like a babbling brook. We feature the two premier systems in this category:
• MTI Stream Bath: Uses directional vents to create a steady, adjustable current stream.
• Aquatic Driftbath: Uses dozens of tiny ports to create a "blanket" of moving water.
Both systems offer a silent, bubble-free experience perfect for deep relaxation and mindfulness.

The Gentle Current Spa Experience

Two of our manufacturers offer a system that flows water from one end of the tub to the other. Aquatic with up to 70 ports and MTI with 8 adjustable vents. A step-up from a soaking tub, the water movement relaxes you with its sound and gentle caress. This system creates soft currents of water directed toward the bather. No air in the lines. Nothing like an air bath or whirlpool.

MTI Stream Bath

Stream Bath creates a directional, gentle current of water, just as if you were sitting in a stream. No turbulence. No bubbles. Only the touch and sound of a steady stream of slowly moving water to soothe the senses and relax the body. End vents create streams of water that flow toward you, over your body. Side vents are asymmetrically positioned and can be rotated to direct the water toward you in unique flow patterns that you create. You can even point the side vents toward the surface to create your private "babbling brook". An optional inline heater is available to maintain the water temperature at a most comfortable 104⁰ F.

Aquatic Driftbath

Soothing, water-only hydrotherapy experience uses a soft current to create a relaxing blanket effect, without any jet action or vigorous swirl of bubbles. Delicate ribbons of water allow you to drift away to a place of pure tranquility. This hydrotherapy experience gently soothes your entire body. Up to 70 ports in the back and foot areas release individual streams of water that converge into a single flowing motion, creating a soft blanket effect. Heat generated by the motor is captured and used to keep water warm, eliminating the need for a separate inline heater.

System Requirements & Maintenance
Because these systems rely on a motor, service access is required. You must provide a 16" x 14" removable panel (or larger) to access the motor for future maintenance. Please consult the specific installation manual before tiling.

Options
The list of options can be lengthy. Installation options like skirts, tile flanges and drain are covered in the article Choosing a Bathroom Tub →
