Hot tub jet checklist

Rather than focusing on how many jets your hot tub should have, ask yourself what purpose you want the jets in your hot tub to serve. Questions to ask yourself to determine how jet placement and performance can benefit your hydromassage include:

• Do I have specific chronic pain and where?
• Where do I most like to experience jetted massage (for example, on my neck, lower back, or shoulders)?
• Do I wish to use my hydrotherapy after athletic performances to ease tense and sore muscles?
• Do I want to experience jetted massage in an open seating or lounge seating configuration?
• Do I like a subtle massage or a more intense and powerful massage?
• Do I want to take my hydrotherapy to the next level with exclusive advancements such as Infrared and Red Light therapy, which result in simultaneous relaxation and rejuvenation?

When you are seeking a jetted hot tub specifically to address body aches, muscle soreness, or tension, speaking with an experienced hot tub dealer can help you find the best hot tub for your needs. Shopping for hot tubs at a trusted spa showroom can give you a unique perspective about the available models and their distinct functions.

A key element of your hot tub shopping experience should also include a wet test in which you can experience the hot tub model you like when it is filled and operating. During a wet test, you can try out the various jetted seats to determine not only if you like the way they contour to your body, but also how you “fit” into the seats themselves.

Depending on height or stature, you may sit lower into a seat or sit up higher out of the water in another seat. It is important that you try out a jetted lounge seat during your wet test if you plan to purchase a hot tub with lounge seating. Since everybody is unique, and everyone likes their massage a certain way, ensuring that you like the feel of the massage in the lounger, as well as how you fit into it, is essential.

Finally, during your wet test, ask your hot tub dealer about how to customize your massage through adjustable jets, and see if they can provide you with a brief tutorial on how to operate the jets. This can ensure get the maximum enjoyment out of your hydromassage.

Overall, the jets are one of the most important elements of your hydromassage. As you shop for the hot tub of your dreams, jet placement, purpose, function, and quality, should be among the most vital determining factors of your decision.

When you purchase a Jacuzzi® hot tub, you will experience superior jets that are varied in function to provide you with the best overall full-body hydromassage that will leave you relaxed, refreshed, and rejuvenated.
