I had a whirlpool tub - used it very little as the jets weren't at the right spots to do any good. Couldn't use soap or anything in the tub when bathing regularly as it would collect in the jets and when turned out I would get scum on the water. So we took it out and replaced it with a soaker tub. We had to buy pool chemicals to clean the jets and then scrub the tub as it turned pink. It was more work than I cared for so I'm enjoying the soaker tub.
