Air is blown into a bath through inlet ports which are at the ends of air-supply tubes. A little hot water is fed into the air stream to compensate, at least partially, for heat-losses. The invention provides apparatus for preventing unpleasant fluctuations in the hot water supply to the air-supply tubes. The apparatus has a chamber (22) with an air inlet (5) and outlet fitments (1) attached to the air-supply tubes. The airflow rotates a rotor (17) provided with fan blades (21). Hot water entering the chamber through inlet holes (9), from a reservoir supplied through an inlet fitment (7), falls on the rotor and, thus being subjected to rotary forces, is propelled outwards and is distributed around the chamber. A mixture of air and drops of water passes from the chamber into the air-supply tubes. The rotor may be motor-driven, or it may be omitted, in which case the air is introduced tangentially into the chamber to subject the water to rotary forces. <IMAGE>
