Equipment designed to provide a turbulent (jet) water bath in a large container for the user (i.e., whirlpool baths). These baths typically include a large container (e.g., a stainless steel tank) with capabilities for easy filling and draining; the tank may be mounted on casters. Whirlpool baths include a turbine to provide the turbulent water supply and a thermometer; they may also include other accessories such as patient lifts and seats. Whirlpool baths are used clinically to provide hydrotherapy during physical therapy and/or rehabilitation procedures.
