hammam
programmes
The characteristics relative to each
programme are referred to optimal
environmental conditions (~ 22-25 °C
/ relative humidity = 40-60 %).
NB: To guarantee optimum steam-
generator performance, the power
supply must correspond to the nomi-
nal value (230 V ~).
Jacuzzi® remote control system
Where the Jacuzzi® remote control sy-
stem is installed, it is possible to activa-
te the programmes via a computer or
smartphone; these devices can be con-
figured and used according to the in-
structions provided within the manual
which comes with the system itself.
T
he Hammam ritual creates a state of wellness, reducing the harmful effects of daily stress;
it is enjoyable and beneficial at any time of the year, be it in winter to prevent discomfort
related to the cold conditions and to provide relief to muscles, be it in summer, to lower body
temperature, refreshing the body, and to provide a healthy glow (or enhancing this glow
where already present), seeing as it thoroughly cleanses the skin.
T
he hammam additionally stimulates the replenishment of water present within the body
and keeps respiratory passages unobstructed by keeping them moist. This is important
seeing as we live in environments which are generally too dry; the hammam also promotes
vasodilation and consequently, improved skin nourishment.
Hammam duration is subjective; normally, a full hammam session lasts
approximately 35-45 minutes, which can be divided into intervals of showers or
water spates, in order to refresh the skin. Refer to the details in the Chapter "Using
the hammam".
Tepidarium
This programme, characterised by average vapour pressure levels and a temperature
of approximately 38 °C, can be considered the initial step towards building up to a real
humid vapour bath. The low temperature enables initial heating up of the body and the
opening of skin pores.
Hammam
Normally associated with massages, the hammam allows for relaxation and genuine
wellness. The vapour pressure levels are high, whilst the temperature is within the range
of 40 °C.
Calidarium
It is the programme with the highest temperature (approximately 42 °C) and vapour
pressure levels are close to 100%. Sweating is intense, resulting in natural disintoxication
of the body.
