Integrated Hot Water Tap and Bubble Bath Dispenser

There are two problems with spending five or six hours lounging in the hot tub. Well, more than two actually but only two that I’m interested in. Firstly, the water goes cold and secondly, the bubbles go flat.

The first problem is easily solved by periodic top-ups from the hot water tap. The second is normally solved by adding a couple of squirts from the bubble-bath bottle and splashing the water ‘round a bit.

Solution no.1 is fine with me as it only involves minor physical effort and use of the big toe to operate the tap, but solution no.2, the splashing about thing, is clearly far too much effort and completely defeats the point of a dissolute wallow in the tub. Surely it’s about time that the hot tap came with an integral bubble-bath dispenser so that both problems can be resolved with minimal toe movement?

My suggestion, therefore, is that the tap head should contain a re-fillable chamber wherein resides the bubble bath liquid. A small valve in the bottom of the chamber is opened by using downward pressure on the tap head (i.e. rest your foot on it) thereby releasing the required amount of bubble bath into the tap spout. A quick flick of the toe then opens the tap and the rushing water carries the bubble bath into your tub and whips it into a lovely foamy lather so that you can continue your relaxing soak with minimal effort.
