Some types of Wanner have the option to change the direction, intensity and shape of the beams. All of these extras can be controlled by the relaxing person. And the bubbles?

The most modern bathtubs offer an option to change the percentage of air in the water jet so that you can experiment with the bubbles until the perfect balance is achieved.
