What is a pipeless pedicure?
Pipeless Pedicure Chairs are pedicure chairs that are designed to create whirlpool jets in the water without using any internal pipes. Instead, these Pipe free Pedi chairs rely on submerged fans or propellers to create that gush of water. The rapid movement of the water is what massages and soothes your client's feet.
How do pedicure liners work?
They use magnets to clip the jet into place and power the whirlpool. A magnetic jet is one kind of pipeless jet. All modern pedicure chairs are pipeless, meaning they don't use pipes to create the whirlpool effect in the bowl. They're much more sanitary and easy to clean than old-fashioned pedicure chairs.
