What is smart tub?

A smart tub is a hot tub equipped with technology to make using and controlling it simple. This technology can range from touch controls to adjust the water temperature to more advanced systems compatible with an app that allows you to monitor and manage your hot tub from your smart device.

 

What are the benefits of technology in a hot tub?

When shopping for a hot tub, it’s nice to have all the bells and whistles to enhance your experience. This can range from customizable lighting, sound systems, and waterfalls to specialty jets to increase relaxation and enjoyment. A hot tub with smart technology can also enhance your experience in a variety of ways, depending on the brand and model. If you’re looking for a highly technologically advanced hot tub that is also the most user-friendly, a hot tub with the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® System might be right for you.

 

What is the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® System?

The patented Jacuzzi® SmartTub® System simplifies hot tub and swim spa ownership so you can have peace of mind when it comes to maintaining your hot tub. This system is engineered to make it easier than ever to use and maintain your Jacuzzi® hot tub. You can control and monitor your hot tub from your smart device, whether you are just steps away or thousands of miles away.

Three key features the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® System provides are:

 

  • Full control from anywhere
  • Convenience from an app
  • Peace of mind, whether home or away

 

Full control with the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® System

When you have a hot tub with the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® System, you have the benefit of control over your hydrotherapy experience. For example, you can adjust the jets, lights, and the temperature of your spa water with your smartphone or tablet. You can also access your owner’s manual, control schedule use, and diagnostic testing. It even comes with dealer monitoring software for further peace of mind that your hot tub is in good hands, even when you are away.

 

Energy settings with the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® System

Another key convenience of the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® System is its ability to help you conserve energy and lower your energy bills while maximizing your relaxation and comfort. It does so through the following features:


  • Energy usage (kWh) sensor
  • On-Peak/Off-Peak rate monitoring
  • Smart Heat Mode
  • Carbon footprint estimates
  • Heat pump control for your swim spa

Through your SmartTub® app, you can save energy and reduce costs while enjoying the very best in hydrotherapy. For example, the Auto Schedule feature learns your usage patterns and adjusts settings to reduce energy consumption.

 

You can also optimize your hot tub or swim spa’s energy consumption with the On-Peak, Off-Peak feature within the SmartTub® app. This feature enables you to monitor and customize your energy use according to the utility rates in your area. You can also set up real-time energy reporting through the app, due to the integrated sensor that is included in the SmartTub® unit. Additionally, through this feature, you can adjust your On-Peak times through the Energy Usage Setting, add peak times as needed, and save your settings to effectively shift energy usage and enhance your savings.

 

Smart Heat Mode is exclusively available for SmartTub® users. With it, you can set your spa schedule and desired temperature through the app and let the system optimize heating based on your local weather, spa volume, and your hot tub’s insulation. This automated mode conserves energy by minimizing heating during idle times and intelligently pre-heating your hot tub water before your next use.

Additionally, the Smart Heat Mode offers several heating options such as “Smart,” “Auto,” “Day,” and “Night.” Smart Heat Mode also adapts to your lifestyle, helping you save energy without sacrificing your comfort.

 

Water care with the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® System

Water care is one of the most essential aspects of your hot tub. With the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® System, you will receive personalized recommendations for your hot tub or swim spa and filtration and water care reminders. These factors can help you ensure that your hot tub water is safe and ready to go any time you are ready for a soak.

 

Peace of mind with the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® System

Another one of the conveniences available through the SmartTub® app is the availability of Monthly Usage Reports, which allow you to stay informed and in control of your hot tub usage. These reports provide a comprehensive overview of your hot tub’s usage patterns, energy consumption, and operational status over the previous month. This data can be used to help you optimize your hot tub settings for efficiency, plan maintenance, and understand your spa’s performance trends. These insights can also help you maintain efficient operation, minimize costs, and ensure that your hot tub is always ready when it’s time to relax and enjoy a soak. 

 

Imagine simply opening your app on your smartphone or smart device and customizing your next hydrotherapy session. From the comfort of your couch or before you leave the office, you can adjust your spa’s temperature and create the mood with lighting and jets. By the time you are ready to step into your hot tub, it will be exactly to your liking.
