A no plumbing pedicure chair is designed to provide a portable and convenient solution for salons that don’t have access to plumbing for their pedicure services. The chair typically comes with a built-in water basin, which can be filled manually with water and emptied after use.
Plumbing free pedicure chairs allow your spa to offer pedicures without connecting them to your plumbing to fill the basin with water.
The main difference is with the jets. A traditional piped-in pedicure chair has a pump and a network of pipes to create the jets; a pipeless system has a bowl with some type of propeller that moves the water within the bowl, creating the jet feel but without the water moving through pipes where bacteria can collect.
If you have a floor drain or gravity drain (where water can drain downhill), you may not need a discharge pump. However, if your plumbing is above the ground or in the wall and you need to drain your tub water uphill (like a washing machine) you will need a discharge drain pump. With a push of a button the discharge pump will drain the water out of the tub and send it to the drain source.
All pedicure chairs come with a full manufacturer’s warranty. Most warranties are for one or two years, depending on the unit.
These days, there are endless options for pedicure spas but most pedicure chairs feature pipeless jets, magnetic jets (if using pedicure tub liners) human touch or shiatsu massage, LED lights, a heavy-duty base with built in tub or a fiberglass or glass bowl. Chairs come with soft, durable leatherette that is acetone resistant and every pedicure spa comes with a free technician stool. Please read features of each unit to decide which features are best for you.
Pipeless or pipefree jet systems use a unitized jet/filter device that is operated by its own independent motor instead of pipes running under the tub. They do not clog with body hair and dirt and the motor is mounted directly to the tub eliminating the need for pipes under the tub. Using a pipeless pedicure chair is more sanitary, reduces the risk of infections, provides a quieter and smoother operation, and is lower maintenance. Almost all newer pedicure chairs are pipeless.
