FAST FACTS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT JACUZZI® HOT TUBS
Whether you already own a hot tub or are considering adding one to your home, there may be a few things you didn’t know about these warm-water retreats. Jacuzzi® Hot Tubs enhance your personal health regimen and certainly liven up your backyard gatherings, but they also have a rich history and interesting role to play in people’s lives. Here are seven interesting fast facts about Jacuzzi® Hot Tubs:
THE USE OF HOT TUBS EXTENDS BACK THOUSANDS OF YEARS IN HUMAN HISTORY
In Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Japan, people believed in their positive cleansing and therapeutic effects. The original models were naturally occurring hot springs or baths into which scalding rocks were lowered. Later hot tubs included fire-heated basins, then evolved into the more modern versions that are crafted from wood, cement, stainless steel, acrylic, and plastic.
JACUZZI® HOT TUB TECHNOLOGY ORIGINATED IN THE AVIATION AND AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRIES
The seven Jacuzzi brothers were innovative engineers. After developing the first enclosed-cabin monoplane, they revolutionized the agricultural industry in 1925 by creating the first submersible pump. When a young Jacuzzi family member developed rheumatoid arthritis, the brothers created an aerating submersible pump to provide pain-reveling hydrotherapy treatments in the bathtub.
JACUZZI® HOT TUBS PROVIDE SEVERAL DIFFERENT TYPES OF THERAPY, ASIDE FROM HYDROMASSAGE
Hydromassage is just one of the health benefits you can reap with a home spa. You can also enjoy chromatherapy, using various colors of light to calm and rejuvenate, and reflexology, targeting pressure points on your hands and feet to relieve tension.
HOT TUB TECHNOLOGY IS CONTINUALLY BEING INNOVATED AND IMPROVED
Water jets, heating, and circulation features are always getting better, and much more energy efficient and affordable than most people realize. Some models cost only $14 a month in energy costs.
HOT TUB CLEANING AND UPKEEP IS PRETTY EASY AND AFFORDABLE
It doesn’t take daily scrubbing and expensive equipment to keep a hot tub in pristine condition. With a bit of vigilance – regular checks of your water’s chemical balance and filtration – you’ll only need to drain your tub every 3 to 6 months, depending on frequency of use.
A JACUZZI® DEALERSHIP HOLDS A GUINNESS WORLD RECORD
The title for the most nationalities in a single hot tub belongs to a spa dealership in Alicante, Spain. In 2012, people from 26 countries squeezed into a Jacuzzi® Hot Tub for a quick five-minute splash to claim the Guinness World Record.
IT’S EASY TO UPDATE YOUR HOT TUB AND KEEP IT CURRENT
Even if your Jacuzzi® Hot Tub is a few years old, you can easily update it with a variety of accessories, from spa covers, lifts, wind guards, and lighted steps that will lend even greater personalization.
