Putting into operation
Place the hydromassage for feet on a flat
ground in front of a comfortable seating
accomodation. Make sure that the air intake
openings on a soft standing surface do not
become clogged. Use a receptacle to fill in
water of desired temperature but not more
than the maximum level indication (3,3 l).
Only then connect the appliance at the mains.

Functions
Use the rotary switch to select the desired
function:
A reduced resistance in the water increases
the bubble intensity of this treatment. When
selecting the bubble massage the appliance
has to be filled with water.
The internal heating warms up the bubble air
to more than 50 O C and because of that pre-
vents the water from cooling rapidly. It is not
designed to heat cold water.
Therapeutic effects
From the feet you can influence the whole
body. Cold and damp feet cause more gene-
ral discomfort than cold hands. It is therefore
traditionally better to treat a cold which has
been caused by cold feet with a hot foot bath.
The effects known from simple foot bathes
with their dependent on the water temperature
very different effects are extended or
amplified:
The bubble effect is fastening because of the
permanent movement of the water the tempe-
rature compensation between the bathing
water and the feet. In addition to that a
vibration massage in the field of 35 - 50 Hz is
realised with a creator of vibrations.
The vibrations which are produced by both
factors can penetrate the body including the
bones and therefore have a positive effect on
all tissue structures.
With the massage nipples at the supporting
surface for the feet in combination with the
produced vibrations a mild and extensive
massage of the soles of the feet is achieved.
With the massage nipple being elevated in the
middle a specific effect is attained. This mas-
sage can also be made without water.
Medical application
1. Slight disturbances of the circulation in the
field of the feet and the lower legs
2. Tenseness of the muscles in the field of the
feet and the lower legs
3. Troubles because of too much strain
The positive effects of the hydromassage can
be increased by suitable bath additives.
They can have very different effects.
For a therapy, only non-foaming additives
which have been directed by the doctor or
which have been recommended by the phar-
