The present invention relates to a whirlpool system, and more particularly, a whirlpool which can be directly used to massage a user's skin by making a whirlpool in a whirlpool bathtub connected to a faucet or a water tank and drained from the faucet or the water tank. It's about the system.

Recently, as the income level improved, the stress problem that had been neglected during the economic growth process became a domestic and social issue, and most people began to feel the importance of health more than ever.

Accordingly, various health supplements and dietary supplements have deeply penetrated into daily life, forming a large market, and popularizing massage therapy, which was conventionally introduced as a folk remedy or used by a specific class such as athletes. .

The massage therapy is provided with a driving means such as a motor to convert the rotational motion into a vibrational motion, thereby stimulating the meridians of the human body and promotes metabolism to reduce the muscle fatigue.

Recently, as a massage device used in massage therapy as described above, a massage chair has been developed and widely used by the user to comfortably sit and get a massage effect on his back and neck. Such a massage chair is provided with a vibration generator. The user is provided to adjust the intensity and pattern of vibration desired by the user.

In addition, there is a method of using a fluid in recent years, as shown in Figure 1, whirlpool bath (Whirlpool bath), such as a waterfall to spray the water to give a massage effect is popular.

The whirlpool bath may act more effectively on tired muscles than simply massage by mechanical shock or vibration, which is not a sudden shock, vibration, or infrared heating of the skin, but water that is 75% of the human body. In the first place, the tension and fatigue of the skin are alleviated and the motor pump is operated, so the skin can be massaged by the injection of water.

As such, the whirlpool bathtub is designed to vibrate the user's body by spraying water of high pressure into the bathtub while circulating the water in the bathtub, thereby enhancing the physical massage effect and blood circulation.

In other words, the whirlpool bath is to circulate the water in the bathtub while spraying at high pressure to obtain a pressure massage, by physically massaging the body of the user (bather) by the vibration generated by the water pressure to promote blood circulation It is already known that water flow and bubbles penetrate not only the surface of the skin but also the pores, thereby removing the waste matter accumulated in the sweat glands and sebaceous glands, thereby improving the cleaning power.

As shown in FIG. 1, the whirlpool bathtub 1 is installed at one side of the outer surface of the tub 10, and pumps water supplied from an external water tank (not shown), and then pumps the pumped water.
