Why Choose a Jacuzzi Hot Tub?

The therapeutic benefits of warm water have been known for centuries. Hot springs, which are naturally heated bodies of water, have been utilized as gathering and bathing places for their healing properties. Eventually, people drew inspiration from these natural springs and created artificial spas and tubs.

In the 1900s the Jacuzzi family emigrated from Italy to California, at the beginning they made their living as inventors within the aviation industry, they also designed water pumps for agricultural use within the orange groves.

The pioneers behind the Jacuzzi brand introduced the world's first submersible pump, a groundbreaking device that drew water from the ground. Years later, in 1956, a member of the Jacuzzi family suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and the brothers devised a solution to alleviate the pain - a hydrotherapy pump. Dubbed the J-300, this device was adaptable to any standard bathtub, converting it into a hydrotherapy spa, which gave birth to the wellness industry.

In 1968, Roy Jacuzzi invented the world's first integrated whirlpool bath, the Roman. Equipped with jets boasting a 50-50 air to water ratio, this bathtub was a trailblazer in its time. As its popularity grew, it paved the way for the advent of indoor/outdoor hot tubs. Not only did this become a space for hydrotherapy, but it also became a gathering spot for loved ones - much like in the days of the Roman Empire.

For more than seven decades, the Jacuzzi brand has been at the forefront of creating products with the ultimate goal of promoting wellness. They take into account the user's needs when designing each product, ensuring that the placement of each jet is optimal and the seating is ergonomically designed to fit the contours of the human body. Their philosophy remains steadfast in their commitment to enhancing the health and well-being of their customers.

Over the years, the Jacuzzi® brand has experienced steady growth and has consistently integrated cutting-edge technologies into their hot tubs, resulting in a superior product that remains unmatched in the market.

Jacuzzi® hot tubs are a popular choice due to several reasons, with one of the primary ones being their effective insulation. Proper insulation is critical for maintaining the tub's heat and reducing energy costs, and Jacuzzi® achieves this through the use of multi-layered high and low-density foam insulation, as well as perimeter insulation that reflects heat. Additionally, all Jacuzzi® hot tubs are equipped with ProLast™ insulated covers, further enhancing their energy efficiency. The ProFusion® cabinetry is another standout feature, as it's designed to withstand cooler weather and help retain heat inside the tub. Thanks to these innovative features, Jacuzzi® hot tubs are an excellent choice for anyone seeking an energy-efficient and enjoyable soaking experience.

Jacuzzi has developed an innovative technology known as SmartTub™, which serves as an add-on to their hot tubs. With this cutting-edge technology, hot tub owners can access real-time data regarding their hot tub, including information on energy consumption, water temperature, and notifications regarding any potential faults or the need for servicing. By utilizing the SmartTub™ app on their phones, owners can easily modify the water temperature from anywhere in the world. This allows owners to adjust the temperature before they return home, ensuring their Jacuzzi hot tub is always ready for use. The technology has proven to be incredibly useful for monitoring energy usage, reducing the overall running costs of the hot tub. The updated version, was released in December 2022, and includes a new feature that automatically adjusts the temperature of the water based on the owner's usage patterns. By inputting usage data into the app, owners can reduce energy consumption by up to 20%, making the Jacuzzi hot tub an eco-friendly and cost-effective option.

Swim spas are a great way to get the perfect balance between exercise and relaxation, with jets to swim against at one end and the relaxing hydrotherapy jets at the other, swim spas are also the perfect option for keen swimmers as they are considerably cheaper than installing and looking after a swimming pool.

When choosing a swim spa for swimming activity, choosing a large one is beneficial because they have a stronger water current, making it better for swimming against.

Swim spas are also extremely beneficial for health, as swimming helps to build strength, muscle tone, increased heart rate and endurance. They are also a great place to teach children to swim in the comfort of your own back garden! They have jets placed around the spa and seats so after you have finished swimming you can recover your muscles with a relaxing hydrotherapy massage. Jacuzzi swim spas come with a ClearRay Active Oxygen® system, which means that to water in the swim spa is always crystal clear and eliminates 99.9% of all known pathogens. Jacuzzi hot tubs and swim spas are unique as they come with a combined UV and Ozone system. Most hot tubs use either one of these, whereas, Jacuzzi’s technology have combined these together to create their renowned ClearRay Active Oxygen system.

ClearRay Active Oxygen technology combines light and air making them work harder enabling the water to remain cleaner for a longer period of time. This process is capable of eliminating waterborne pathogens and contaminants, therefore helping to prevent Legionella. A very low dosage of ozone is introduced to the water and is mixed in.

By combining ozone and UV-C light, an environment is created to reduce the dosage of chemicals needed to maintain clear bacteria free water.

Infrared & Red Light Therapy 

Jacuzzi® is at the forefront of wellness product innovation with their exclusive Infrared and Red Light Technology. This cutting-edge technology, which is currently patent pending, can only be found in the J-LX® and J-400™ hot tub collections as well as the Jacuzzi® PowerPro™ and PowerActive™ Swim Spa Collections. No other brand has yet to match the exceptional quality and features of these products.

The FX Seat boasts our latest and most advanced hydrotherapy technology, which includes a new patent-pending feature. This unique feature integrates full-back and neck hydromassage with Near-Infrared and deep Red Light therapy to specifically target the lumbar region of the lower back. The technology delivers clinically proven benefits just below the skin's surface.

The Near-Infrared and deep Red Light therapy uses light wavelengths that are longer than visible light but shorter than radio waves. These wavelengths penetrate the body and prompt molecules in tissues to vibrate, producing warmth that permeates deeply into muscles, joints, and organs. This deep heat promotes several benefits, such as loosening tense muscles, relieving pain and inflammation, enhancing blood circulation, and improving the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues.

When purchasing a swim spa, one of the things to consider is the height of all the users. Jacuzzi swim spas are all designed and manufactured to be more than four feet deep to ensure that over half of your body is under the water.

Swim spas are for all year round, as the inbuilt heating system keeps the water at the temperature that you set it to, the insulation in the swim spa contains properties that retain the heat which means that you can still swim and relax in the swim spa during the colder months.

Jacuzzi are well known for their attention to detail and high quality workmanship, making their hot tubs and swim spas built to last for a very long time. The warranty on their best selling models are ten years on the shell structure and five years on the things like plumbing and controls.

With the uncertainty of rising energy costs, Jacuzzi have done research using customers data provided through the SmartTub app to get an accurate reading of how much Jacuzzi hot tubs cost to  run each day. A lots of other hot tub brands don’t have the SmartTub app technology and therefore, when they are quoting prices on how much it would cost to run the tub per day, this is very much guess work as each customers environment can change depending upon location and position of the tub. Jacuzzi have calculated that on average their J-200 Range costs between £2.50-£3.00 per day and their J-300 Range and above costs between £2.00-£2.60 per day, this works out that if you purchase a J-300 Range hot tub or above you are looking at a hot tub running cost of approximately £78.00 per month.

Jacuzzi have recently brought in a new range called “Sun & Soul”. The reason they have done this is to bring an affordable family fun hot tub to compete with lower end brands whilst still proving the Jacuzzi quality and two year parts and labour warranty. This also, gives you comfort in knowing that if the retailer you purchase the hot tub from was to go out of business your warranty would still continue with Jacuzzi directly.

All the Sun & Soul hot tubs and swim spas come heat pump ready, this means the heat pump and the controller will speak to each other ensuring you get the highest energy efficiency from your heat pump as possible, and also this makes adding a heat pump at a later date really simple without the need for a hot tub engineer having to cut the pipework and plumb the heat pump in for you.
