About Us

HYDRABATHS began back in 1981 in Southern California, founded by Ed Chalberg — a true pioneer in the whirlpool bath tub industry.

His forward-thinking ideas and innovative products didn’t just change tubs — they raised the standard for whirlpool technology.

From pumps to controls, every component was designed with one goal in mind — creating truly therapeutic whirlpool experiences.

Today, there are over one million tubs across the United States powered by HYDRABATHS components — many still running strong decades later.

Fast forward more than 45 years. HYDRABATHS is now owned by August Bednar and his two sons, who oversee the day-to-day operations with the same passion and care.

Every jet, every detail, and every build is hands-on — crafted by people who truly care about how these tubs perform in real homes.

August brings over 38 years of experience in replacement parts and repair, with deep knowledge of what makes a system last — and what makes it better.

His vision for the HYDRABATHS rebrand is focused on one thing — bringing hydrotherapy back to the forefront of wellness and performance.

Today, HYDRABATHS offers some of the most advanced therapeutic tubs on the market — designed for real pain relief and everyday enjoyment.

From soft LED lighting… to comfort-warmed shells that let you truly unwind… to deep-tissue therapy jets and microbubble infusion that work together to create a full-body hydrotherapy experience this isn’t just about bathing — it’s about recovery, relaxation, and making your bathroom a place of wellness.

HYDRABATHS is setting the standard for the future of therapy tubs — built on decades of experience, family values, and a commitment to feeling better every day.
