The Zotofoam bath was a 1930s precursor of the whirlpools which are now so popular in health spas. It was once delightfully described as being like a Jacuzzi™ on steroids! In Waters of health and happiness, a booklet issued by Hastings Council, it is suggested (in a phrase which could not be used today) that the Zotofoam bath 'through its special composition is unrivalled for slimming.'
