[0040] Preferably, sterilizer 15 is an ozone sterilizer. A heated water stream and a disinfected liquid converge on the jointer tee valve 152 and finally flow through the water outlet valve 14 so as to achieve sterilization and disinfection of the water in the circulating system.

[0041] The circulating pump 11 will heat, vibrate and produce noise at work, these will degrade the performance of the circulating pump 11. In order to solve these problem, the circulating pump 11 is wound by a cooling hose 16; one end of the cooling hose 16 communicates with a vertical entrance of a first cooling tee valve 161; two horizontal entrances of the first cooling tee valve 161 respectively communicates with the water inlet of the heater 12 and the water inlet tee valve 131; another end of the cooling hose 16 communicates with a second cooling tee valve 162; two horizontal entrances of the second cooling tee valve 162 respectively communicates with the water outlet of the heater 12 and the water outlet tee valve 141.

[0042] With such arrangement, a part of the inflow water will be diverted to the cooling hose 16 via the first cooling tee valve 161; when the inflow water flows through the cooling hose 16, the inflow water takes away the heat on the surface of the circulating pump 11 directly and efficiently, and the circulating pump 11 works at a low temperature environment. This auxiliary cooling mechanism helps protect the internal components of the circulating pump 11 and prevents damage caused by overheating. More importantly, it realizes the cooling function without complex modification of the pump body, which not only prolongs the life of the circulating pump 11 but also improves its operational reliability.

[0043] Preferably, a muffler 17 is provided to envelop the outer periphery of the water inlet pipe 13 and the water outlet pipe 14 to reduce water flow and vibration noise, hereby create a quiet showering environment.

The loudspeaker 18 is waterproof to be used in a humid environment.

[0045] The circulating heating water heater further comprises an air switch 19 and a soft bathtub 2; the air switch 19 is connected to the soft bathtub 2 via an air pipeline, which is provided with an air valve 191. An air pump is provided inside the air switch 19; the air pump is used to draw in and compress air; the air switch 19 is used to control air transportation to the soft bathtub 2 via the air pipe 192. Thanks to such design, it generates a suitable impulse during shower, thereby realizes a hydraulic massage function.

[0046] Preferably, a two-way valve 1411 is respectively arranged on the water inlet pipe 13 and the water outlet pipe 14; the two-way valve 1411 adopts a ball valve with a small flow resistance but a strong flow capacity; the two-way valve 1411 is used to control the water path in open or off state; when the two-way valve 1411 is open, water in the soft bathtub 2 will flow back to the circulating heating system, correspondingly, water in the circulating heating system will flow to the soft bathtub 2.

[0047] The soft bathtub 2 comprises a cavity 211; the inner surface of cavity 211 is provided with a plurality of nozzles 212, at least two backwater outlets 213 and a filter 214.

[0048] Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, a pipe layout is provided between the soft bathtub 2 and the circulating heating system. Specifically, the water outlet pipe 14 communicates with the plurality of nozzles 212 via transportation pipe 142; the air pipe 192 communicates with the plurality of nozzles 212 via an air duct 193; the backwater outlet 213 communicates with the water inlet pipe 13 via a backwater pipe 132, and the filter 214 communicates with the water inlet pipe 13 via a backwater pipe 132.

[0049] It can be understood that, both the backwater outlet 213 and the filter 214 are able to absorb water into backwater pipe 132; the backwater outlet 213 and the filter 214 communicates with the water backwater pipe 132; the water in the cavity 211 will flow into the backwater pipe 132 and the water inlet pipe 13 to reach the circulating heating system; water in the circulating heating system will enter the transportation pipe 142 from the water outlet pipe 14, and then sprays into the cavity 211 through the plurality of nozzles 212.

[0050] The plurality of nozzles 212 comprises two specifications nozzles, one is of about 40 mm diameter, and another is of about 90 mm diameter; the air switch 19 communicates with an air duct 193 via an air pipe 192; when the air valve 191 is open, the air produced by the air pump will blow to the air duct 193 via the air pipe 192. Finally, the air is ejected from the plurality of nozzle 212; and the air in the air pipe 192 is released from tiny holes around the plurality of nozzles 212; hereby a large number of bubbles are generated in water; when the bubbles burst, it creates a soft massage feeling for users following with a white noise hiss, which provides users a gentle, dispersive air bubble massage.

[0051] In addition, the plurality of nozzles 212 are also in communication with a two-way valve 1411; when the two-way valve 1411 opens, water in the circulating heating system and the soft bathtub 2 will flow circularly.
