Jacuzzi: An incredible upgrade over conventional hot tubs which limited features.

Chocked full of underwater jets that build pressure underwater using air, Jacuzzis is the perfect complement to your water therapy. Named after Roy Jacuzzi, who invented the first, Jacuzzi (coined the ´Roman´) in 1968, his premise was pretty simple. Insert jets into the sides of this next level whirlpool tub to circulate water and provide therapeutic benefits. A leader in pumping and jet technology worldwide, these hot tubs sure has a rich and cultivating history.

Roy Jacuzzi, the pioneer in whirlpool baths and a great contributor to hydraulics and outdoor living, actually had seven brothers who emigrated from Italy to the United States. Learning the tricks of the spa trade, he lived in an era where Americans were obsessed with leisure and entertainment. When he invented the Jacuzzi hot tub and registered patents for it, he demonstrated it in lots of trade shows. Little did he know that this whirlpool tub invention would strike into the hearts of Americans and pave the way for hot tubs and spa development? Today, Jacuzzi is a reputable company recognized worldwide, the undisputed leader in whirlpool tubs and spa accessories.

Speaking of Jacuzzis and hot tubs, do you know the difference between hot tubs, spas, and Jacuzzis? 

The first hot tubs were wooden and barrel shapes, providing no air pressure jets and were simply constructed to just hold heated water. The term ¨spa¨ was then coined after the hot tub industry started constructing hot tubs with a different finish, such as fiberglass. Wooden hot tubs were done away with. Spas were also known for its complementing features like filters and spa rails. Jacuzzi is a brand name for whirlpool tubs, upgraded hot tubs that provide water pressure with side jets circulating water. Let's thank Roy Jacuzzi for improving our outlook on outdoor living and providing us with a safe alternative to illegal activity! Just kidding there!
