12 Minute Read
Technology has revolutionized how we live, work, and even relax—especially when it comes to your hot tub. If you’ve chosen a Jacuzzi® Hot Tub equipped with the SmartTub® system, you already know the value of convenience and connection. But now, the Jacuzzi® brand has taken things one step further with the SmartTub® Wireless Sensor Kit, giving you even more control and insights into your hot tub experience.
This article will help you discover everything you need to know about the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® Wireless Sensor Kit—including what it is, how to use it, and why it’s worth considering. But before diving into the kit itself, this article will offer a broader look at the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® system itself. Read on to learn everything you’ve ever wanted to know about how you can elevate your hot tub experience with the kind of exclusive smart technology that makes hot tub management simple and easy.
What is the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® system?
The Jacuzzi® SmartTub® system is an innovative, app-based technology that connects your hot tub to your smartphone or smart device using cellular technology. Designed for convenience, safety, and energy efficiency, this system gives you remote access to your spa anytime, anywhere.
Unlike traditional Wi-Fi systems, SmartTub® uses cellular connectivity—similar to your smartphone—which means no messing around with weak backyard Wi-Fi signals or range extenders. This system is built to work reliably in outdoor conditions, even in remote areas.
Once your hot tub is connected to the SmartTub® app, you gain control over a range of features, including:
- Powering your spa on and off remotely
- Adjusting water temperature, lights, and jets
- Setting filter cycles and lighting schedules
- Monitoring water usage and energy consumption
- Receiving maintenance alerts and proactive service messages
- Getting real-time insights and tips to improve spa care
This technology is especially useful for seasonal hot tub owners or those who travel frequently. With SmartTub®, you’ll always know your spa’s condition, no matter where you are. This peace of mind can help you relax, even when you are hundreds of miles from your hot tub.
Benefits of the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® system
You may be wondering whether SmartTub® is just another luxury feature or a true game-changer for your hot tub experience. Here’s why SmartTub® truly makes a difference in hot tub management:
Remote control and monitoring
Whether you’re at work or on vacation, you can check the status of your spa from your phone. So you don’t have to worry about whether you left your hot tub running or wonder if it will be at the desired temperature when you get home—you can confirm or set it up with a simple touch of your smartphone or even the sound of your voice via your wearable device.
Energy efficiency
The SmartTub® system provides energy usage insights and suggestions to help you conserve energy. You can optimize heating and filtration cycles, saving on monthly energy costs without compromising comfort. SmartTub® features an energy usage (kWh) sensor, On Peak and Off Peak rate monitoring, Smart Heat Mode, and carbon footprint estimates to help you track and manage energy use.
Proactive maintenance alerts
SmartTub® detects abnormal spa behaviors and alerts you when action is needed. You can even opt to send alerts directly to your dealer or service technician for fast, informed support.
Peace of mind
If you go out of town, rent out your property, or have guests using your hot tub, SmartTub® lets you ensure everything is functioning properly—even from miles away—with features such as daily self-diagnosis checks and monthly diagnostic reports. You can receive power outage notifications and connect remotely with your Jacuzzi® Hot Tub dealer if needed.
Personalized wellness tips
The app includes data-driven insights about how you use your spa, offering tailored tips and maintenance suggestions to help extend its life and enhance your hydrotherapy sessions.
What is the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® Wireless Sensor Kit?
The SmartTub® Wireless Sensor Kit is an upgraded accessory designed to enhance the SmartTub® system’s capabilities, specifically regarding water care and diagnostics. It introduces wireless sensors that are added to your hot tub and allow for real-time monitoring. The wireless sensors connect seamlessly via BLE for straightforward installation. The Wireless Sensor kit includes:
Spa Cover Sensor which alerts you if your hot tub cover remains open, ensuring your hot tub stays insulated and secure.
Water Sensor, which protects your investment by detecting moisture near sensitive components, helping to prevent damage.
Drain and Refill Sensor, which streamlines maintenance by indicating when your hot tub is drained or refilled, enhancing both security and efficiency.
The Wireless Sensor Kit is ideal for SmartTub® users who want to spend more time soaking and less time worrying about their hot tub. It brings intelligent automation to your water care routine, ensuring that your hot tub stays clean, safe, and ready to enjoy.
Key features of the SmartTub® system
Live water quality feedback
Traditional water care requires you to manually test the water with strips or digital readers. With SmartTub®, your spa constantly monitors key water chemistry levels, displaying real-time results in your SmartTub® app.
Custom alerts and reminders
If your hot tub’s pH is off balance, for example, the system will alert you right away and even guide you with simple instructions or videos on how to correct the issue. You’ll also get reminders for when it’s time to clean your filters or change your water.
Long-lasting battery-powered sensors
The kit uses battery-powered, wireless sensors that are easy to install and last for months. You won’t need to hardwire anything or worry about compatibility—everything integrates seamlessly with the existing SmartTub® system.
Weatherproof and durable
The Jacuzzi® team designed SmartTub® and the sensors for the real world—outdoor environments, splashing water, and changing seasons. They’re built tough and tested for durability.
How to Use the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® Wireless Sensor Kit
Using the SmartTub® Wireless Sensor Kit is simple, and the Jacuzzi® brand has made setup incredibly user-friendly. Here’s a step-by-step guide to getting started.
Step 1: Purchase the Kit
Check with your Jacuzzi® dealer or the Jacuzzi® official website in your country to purchase the SmartTub® Wireless Sensor Kit. Make sure your hot tub model and SmartTub® version are compatible. Most modern Jacuzzi® Hot Tubs with SmartTub® technology are, and many even come standard with SmartTub®. However, it never hurts to confirm.
Step 2: Download or update the SmartTub® App
If you haven’t already, download the SmartTub® app. If you already have the app installed, make sure it’s updated to the latest version to support wireless sensor integration.
Step 3: Install the sensors
The Jacuzzi® brand provides clear instructions with the kit, or your dealer can assist with installation. Each Sensor is paired with the SmartTub® system via a simple sync process—typically just a button press or scan using the app.
Step 4: Monitor in the app
Once installed and synced, data will begin showing up in your SmartTub® app.
Step 5: Take action when needed
If something is out of the ordinary, the SmartTub® app will notify you and walk you through the next steps. This takes the guesswork out of hot tub management and ownership.
