We have been looking to install a jetted tub into our bathroom and have settled on air jets for the cleaning aspect (we have been told that water jets require more maintenance and have a greater amount of bacteria/etc... inside because of the sitting water). However, the only problem is that we have only been in water jet tubs and cannot find any sort of showroom that can demo the power of the air jets.
Are they, in general, that much softer than water jets? What throws us off is that some tubs seem to have 40-50 air jets and others only have a dozen.
What are your thoughts on air jet tubs? Any experience with the lower-mid brands ($3000 or less)? So far it seems we have been pointed to Mirolin and Maax for brands because Kohler and BainUltra are well over $3000 (Canadian).
