sorry I wrote that in italian!
Whirlpools are those jacuzzi tubs also known as spas, or hot tubs. It is a small tub with warm water and jets moving the water. Bubbling. Very relaxing!

hydromassage bath


Explanation:
This is commonly caused a jacuzzi, but jacuzzi is actually a brand name. So to be precise, not all "whirlpool baths", "hydromassage baths", or just "whirlpools" i.e. large baths that you sit in (possibly with several other people all holding gin and tonics) are jucuzzis.

Hot bath


Explanation:
Whirl pool is not actually a pool (like a swimming pool). If you live in America, you must be familiar with names such as "hot tub" or "spa". The size vary from for two persons to a dozen persons, and there are jet spouts under water when the water is filled so you enjoy the enormous bubbles message your body. Another name for this is "jacuzzi". Jacuzzi is actually a brand name after its inventor Candido Jacuzzi, an Italian-American inventor. In Japanese it is called "Uzumaki Buro" from "whirl" (uzu) plus "pool" (furo-buro).
