Worse: Whirlpool-style tubs, which some experts say may be bacterial breeding grounds due to the construction of the pipes, seem to be the biggest culprits. A study by scientists at Texas A&M University that examined water samples from 43 whirlpool tubs found that all had dangerous bacterial growth—from fecal matter to fungi.

We have the whirlpool tub with the system that cleans these pipes. You pour bleach in the one spot and turn on the special tap which runs boiling hot water with the bleach through the pipes. I don't know why the other companies have not changed to this system - two makers have it now. MCI (I think that's the name) and Bath Tec. We love our Bath Tec whirlpool!

Ours is a whirlpool that shoots water. To me, the bubble types are not real whirlpool. I know some have more sensative skin and prefer them, but with my bad back if I'm going to use one I want the real power of the water.
Do the air type not clean as well or something? Just curious.
