Abstract

A whirlpool bathtub having devices for generating jets of water and/or air, which can be directed into an interior of a tub from several positions on a side wall and/or bottom wall of the tub. An individual, drivable device generates a water and/or air jet which corresponds to each of the positions. The device is mounted within the tub side wall and has a driving force from a direction of an exterior of the tub. A nozzle housing has a pump chamber with an impeller mounted within the pump chamber, which is sealed towards the exterior of the tub. The pump chamber terminates toward the tub interior with a nozzle cover having suction openings and nozzle openings. The impeller takes in water from the tub interior through suction opening of the nozzle cover and supplies the water from the pump chamber radially through directed feed conduits to at least one conduit in the nozzle cover which begins at the wall of the pump chamber, facing a peripheral side of the impeller, and ends in at least one nozzle opening of the nozzle cover. Other nozzle covers of varied numbers and varied designs of the conduits and the nozzle openings can be connected with the nozzle housing.
