Salish Lodge & Spa Becomes First Hotel Worldwide to Install SANIJET Pipeless(TM) Spa Baths in All Guest Rooms; New Custom, Couple-Sized Tubs Ensure Increased Health Safety and Superior Bathing Experience.SNOQUALMIE, Wash. -- Salish Coast Salish groups centered around Puget Sound. They numbered some 10,000 in 1990, including the Duwamish, Muckleshoot, Nisqually, Puyallup, Suquamish, Tulalip, and other groups. The city of Seattle is named after one of their great chiefs. The Native Americans of the Puget Sound area were traditionally part of the Northwest Coast cultural area (see under Natives, North American), speaking Salishan languages, living in large wooden houses, and practicing wood carving. Lodge & Spa, a romantic mountain retreat 30 minutes east of Seattle, announced today it is the first hotel in the world to feature the SANIJET Pipeless(TM) Whirlpool Spa Bath in all of its guestrooms and suites. Completed in June 2006, the 3-month, $650,000 project was spurred by the resort's desire to provide a superior bathing experience for guests, coupled with the best possible health and safety technology available on the market. The 91-room property spent in excess of $7,000 per guestroom on this enhancement. "There was one primary reason we switched from conventional whirlpool bathtubs to the SANIJET Pipeless system," said Sam Johnson, General Manager, Salish Lodge & Spa. "Our guests expect a certain quality and standard when they visit Salish Lodge, in everything from accommodations to spa and dining, and the in-room bathing experience is no different. By making the conversion to a custom designed, couple-sized SANIJET Spa Bath, not only are we able to offer the most advanced health and safety technology available, but also create what we feel is the most luxurious hydrotherapy colon hydrotherapy an extension of the enema, used for cleansing and detoxification; the entire colon is irrigated with water, which may contain enzymes or herbs, introduced through the rectum. hy·dro·ther·a·py (h experience possible." The SANIJET Pipeless Spa Bath is the first and only whirlpool bath system designed to provide a completely hygienic bathtub. Current industry standards allow piped systems to retain a small amount of bath water per jet after draining, allowing an average six-jet whirlpool tub to retain a significant level of contaminated water after each use. NSF International (www.nsf.org), the leading independent not-for-profit organization recognized for its scientific and technical expertise in the health and environmental sciences, has confirmed that the SANIJET Pipeless system can be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after each use. Other properties offer SANIJET baths baths, in architecture. Ritual bathing is traceable to ancient Egypt, to prehistoric cities of the Indus River valley, and to the early Aegean civilizations. Remains of bathing apartments dating from the Minoan period exist in the palaces at Knossos and Tiryns. The ancient Greeks devised luxurious bathing provisions, with heated water, plunges, and showers. Bathing in public facilities, or thermae, was developed by the Romans to a unique degree. in luxury suites, but Salish Lodge is the first hotel in the world to offer the comfort and hygiene of a Pipeless bath to hotel guests in every room. "We applaud Salish Lodge for its forward-thinking approach to guest health and safety by selecting Pipeless technology," said Philip Klement, Vice President Sales and Marketing, SANIJET Corporation. "Salish Lodge has taken an unprecedented stand to protect its guests, and, at the same time, provide spa-quality hydrotherapy in every guest room." SANIJET's patented variable-flow jets allow the guest to select the intensity of water flow, ranging from slow, tranquil streams to more invigorating currents, via pre-programmed massage settings. SANIJET Spa Baths are designed to operate whisper-quiet, so bathers can relax to the sounds of flowing water for a more intimate bathing experience. Also, because it is Pipeless, the bath water loses only one degree of temperature in a 20-minute bathing cycle, as opposed to conventional piped and air systems, which can lose 10 degrees or more in the same time interval. The bathing experience is further enhanced by the use of chromatherapy lighting, which creates a relaxing and rejuvenating visual sensation.
