Your bathtub has one job, and it has been doing the stationary version of that job for years. You climb in, the water sits there, and eventually someone knocks on the door to ask where the scissors are. The WAVORA Z1 cordless bathtub jet proposes a small upgrade to this arrangement: moving water, without inviting a contractor into your bathroom.
The Z1 is a rechargeable, palm-sized bath jet that attaches inside an existing tub. Its job is to circulate water in three different patterns. It can mount against the side or sit at the bottom, giving a regular bath a little more activity without permanent plumbing. Think of it as giving your soak a supporting cast.
This is currently a Kickstarter project, with delivery estimated for January 2027. It is a crowdfunded product heading toward production, so the specifications and performance figures below are WAVORA’s claims rather than results from our own bathtub testing. Our rubber duck has declined to comment.
A small bath jet with room to move
At approximately 4.3 by 3.5 inches and 1.2 pounds, the Z1 is small enough to hold in one hand. The cream-white body has a rounded base, a projecting outlet, and two controls on its upper surface. It looks considerably less intimidating than the phrase “water-moving motor assembly” might suggest.
That compact footprint is central to the idea. A built-in jet system belongs to the bathtub; this one is an accessory you bring out when you want it. You can put it away afterward instead of giving it permanent residency on the rim beside seventeen nearly empty shampoo bottles.

Its rechargeable battery also means there is no power cord attached during use. You charge it before the bath, then use it on battery power in the water. Follow the supplied charging and operating instructions, including charging away from the bath. The attraction here is a cordless bathing accessory, not another cable to organize.
Side wall or tub floor: choose your current
The included double-sided suction mount lets the Z1 attach to a suitable surface inside the bathtub. Mounting it on a side wall directs the flow horizontally; placing it on the floor sends water upward. That gives you two noticeably different starting points for the moving water without relocating the actual tub, which tends to annoy landlords.
WAVORA says smooth, non-porous surfaces work best. Its examples include smooth acrylic, enamel, glass, polished stainless steel, and glazed tile. Surface compatibility matters more than whether your bathroom has achieved the correct number of decorative baskets. A textured or uneven surface may not offer the same grip.
The practical appeal is flexibility. You are choosing where the water begins moving, rather than accepting whatever jet location a tub manufacturer selected years ago. Placement still depends on the shape and surface of your own tub. This is a small accessory with a mounting requirement, not a universal renovation shortcut for every possible bathtub.
- Attach the jet to a compatible side wall for a horizontal stream.
- Use the bottom position for upward water movement.
- Choose among three flow modes with a button press.
- Remove the outlet section when it needs a more thorough rinse.
- Store the compact unit between baths and recharge before the next use.
Three flow modes, three battery budgets
Gentle Flow delivers a softer, steady pattern. Power Flow increases circulation, moving the bath water and any existing foam more actively. Spa Rhythm varies the intensity in pulses. These are different water-flow patterns, so you can choose something calmer or more active without installing an entire control panel beside your loofah.
There is an important distinction beneath all the spa language: the Z1 moves water. It does not inject air like an air-jet bathtub system. Bath products can add their own fizz or foam, but the jet’s core function is circulation. Anyone expecting a tiny device to recreate every sensation of a full-size whirlpool should keep that difference in mind.
Battery life changes substantially with the selected mode. WAVORA lists up to five hours for Gentle Flow, two hours for Power Flow, and one hour for Spa Rhythm. Those figures describe claimed operating time, not a recommendation to remain in the bath until you have become a historical artifact.
| Mode | Water movement | Claimed runtime |
|---|---|---|
| Gentle Flow | Softer, steady circulation | Up to 5 hours |
| Power Flow | Stronger circulation | Up to 2 hours |
| Spa Rhythm | Pulsing intensity | Up to 1 hour |
The longest figure is useful for understanding charging frequency, but it is not the number to use for every setting. If the pulsing mode is your favorite, plan around its shorter stated runtime. That is a more useful expectation than discovering mid-soak that the five-hour headline came with a quieter personality.
The cleaning detail deserves some attention
Bath accessories share a workplace with hair, soap, petals, and whatever remains of that elaborate bath bomb. WAVORA gives the Z1 a removable outlet so trapped debris can be cleared and the outlet section rinsed more thoroughly. That is a practical feature in a product whose entire career takes place in used bath water.
Removable does not mean maintenance-free. You still need to clean it according to the instructions. The useful part is access: an outlet you can detach is easier to inspect than a mysterious opening you simply hope is fine. Hope is a lovely emotion and a questionable cleaning method.
Inside, WAVORA describes a motor drive section separated from the water-flow mechanism, with static seals intended to reduce wear associated with moving shaft seals. The surrounding water also helps carry heat away during submerged operation. Those are design explanations from the maker; they do not establish years of real-world durability.
The campaign itself identifies waterproof reliability, battery safety, manufacturing consistency, and fulfillment as development challenges. That context belongs alongside the appealing photos. The Z1 has an interesting approach to a familiar bathroom wish, but a first crowdfunding campaign is still a commitment to a product being brought into production.

What to know before making room beside the towels
The most obvious audience is someone who already likes taking baths and wants more water movement without committing to permanent equipment. The Z1’s combination of compact storage, repositionable mounting, and a removable outlet is more interesting than simply calling it a spa gadget. Those are concrete differences you can weigh against the tub you own.
It also helps to separate the base accessory from the gift-oriented bundle. Both center on the same bath jet. The larger package adds bath-time extras, which may suit someone who considers choosing a bath bomb a legitimate evening activity. No judgment. Some of us spend longer choosing a streaming show.
- Product: WAVORA Z1 cordless bathtub jet.
- Size and weight: approximately 4.3 by 3.5 inches and 1.2 pounds.
- Mounting: side wall or bottom with the included suction mount.
- Operation: three water-circulation modes powered by a rechargeable battery.
- Cleaning: detachable outlet section for rinsing.
- Status: Kickstarter crowdfunding, with January 2027 estimated delivery.
At the time of writing, Kickstarter lists the single-unit Early Bird reward at $109 and the Spa Ritual Set at $129. The single-unit package includes the jet, USB charging cable, double-sided suction mount, and manual. The Spa Ritual Set adds six botanical bath bombs, six bath liners, and a mesh bath-bomb pouch. Shipping fees and applicable taxes are collected after the campaign.
Delivery estimates can change, and crowdfunding rewards are not guaranteed. Check the current reward details before pledging. For the right bathtub owner, the proposal is straightforward: add a little motion to a familiar ritual, keep the bathroom intact, and leave the scissors question for someone else.
| Pros | Cons and considerations |
|---|---|
| Runs cordless during use | Requires charging between uses |
| Side or bottom mounting | Needs a suitable smooth mounting surface |
| Three circulation patterns | Does not inject air like an air-jet system |
| Removable outlet for cleaning | Still requires routine cleaning |
| Compact, portable form | Crowdfunding delivery and long-term durability remain unproven |
