Hot tub water care systems explored: Meet Jacuzzi® True Water™

11 Minute Read

Hot tubs are more than just a luxury—they’re your personal retreat for relaxation, recovery, and connection. Whether you use your hot tub to temporarily soothe sore muscles, reduce stress, or spend quality time with loved ones, keeping the water clean1 and inviting is one of the most essential aspects of maintenance and ownership. That’s where water care systems come in.

As you explore the world of hot tubs, you’ll quickly discover that there are different ways to maintain crystal-clear water. From traditional methods to innovative new technologies, water care systems are designed to keep your spa water clear, fresh, and easy to enjoy.

But what does water care really involve, and how can new systems simplify your hot tub ownership experience? This article will delve into those topics, as well as introduce you to the latest innovation in hot tub water care, Jacuzzi® True Water™, which is revolutionizing the way you can maintain clean1, clear, and fresh hot tub water with very little maintenance—just as little as 15 minutes per month2.

Why water care matters

When you think of relaxing in your hot tub, you likely imagine soaking in the soothing bubbles and warm water, while gaining a sense of peace and mental clarity. What you may not think about right away is the responsibility that comes with maintaining clean, healthy water. Proper water care is essential not only for your enjoyment but also for your well-being.

Without regular care, hot tub water can accumulate bacteria, organic matter, and debris. This not only affects water clarity but can also cause unpleasant odors, irritation to skin and eyes, or, in rare cases, health concerns. That’s why water care systems exist—to continuously clean and refresh your water so you don’t have to spend hours on maintenance.

In the past, traditional water care has relied heavily on chemical sanitizers like chlorine or bromine. While effective, these come with drawbacks such as strong odors, dryness, and irritation for those with sensitivities. Fortunately, advancements in technology now offer alternatives that can help reduce the need for harsh chemicals while keeping water safe and sparkling.

The evolution of hot tub water care systems

Every hot tub requires a system to keep the water clean and inviting, but not all systems work the same way. And, in fact, hot tub water care has advanced over the years. So, if you have been hesitant about getting a hot tub because you don’t want a system that is reliant on heavy chemical use and lots of routine maintenance, there is good news for new. Advanced hot tub water care systems are a breeze. If you choose a high-quality hot tub with an advanced water care system, you can enjoy nearly chemical-free water care with minimal maintenance.

Advanced nanotechnology systems

The newest frontier in hot tub water care is nanotechnology. Instead of relying solely on chemical reactions, these systems use nanoscopic oxygen bubbles, known as nanobubbles, to cleanse and purify water at an exceptional level. The Jacuzzi® team has brought this incredibly advanced yet gentle and simple technology to hot tub maintenance—taking the hassle out of caring for your hot tub water. Jacuzzi® True Water™ quite simply takes water care to a new level of convenience and effectiveness.

Introducing Jacuzzi® True Water™

The Jacuzzi® brand has long been a leader in hot tub innovation, particularly in hydrotherapy. Now, with the launch of True, it’s bringing that same spirit of innovation to water care. This revolutionary system drastically reduces the need for harsh chemicals like chlorine and bromine, and minimizes your maintenance routine to just 15 minutes a month.

Using advanced nanotechnology, True creates trillions of nanoscopic oxygen-filled nanobubbles 5,000 times smaller than a grain of sand that saturate your water and work 24/7 to purify your hot tub water. These nanobubbles actively scrub away contaminants3 and residue from the water, your hot tub’s surfaces, and even along the waterline and inside plumbing—leaving you with water that feels soft, fresh, and ready whenever you want to soak. With True, you can feel confident that your spa water is crystal-clear, clean, and up to 99.999% chlorine-free, which is even purer than drinking water4.

True continuously works to keep your spa water clear and pure, even while you soak. So you can experience hydrotherapy in an environment that’s safer and better for your body.

How nanotechnology works

Nanotechnology may sound futuristic, but the science is straightforward. Nanobubbles are incredibly small, and unlike regular bubbles, they remain suspended in the water, where they continuously interact with impurities and contaminants.

These nanobubbles:

Remove organic matter and debris at a microscopic level.
Help keep surfaces cleaner by reducing buildup.
Improve water clarity faster than traditional methods.

The result is water that is not only visibly clear but also feels softer on your skin and doesn’t cause your hair to become dry or brittle due to harsh chemicals. Because the system operates continuously, you don’t have to spend as much time worrying about balancing chemicals.

The benefits of True

Owning a hot tub with True comes with a variety of benefits that make your spa experience more enjoyable:

Minimal upkeep: With just 15 minutes of maintenance each month, you spend less time caring for your hot tub and more time enjoying it, nearly hassle-free.
Less chemical use: By drastically reducing the need for chlorine or bromine, your water feels gentler and more natural.
Gentle on skin and hair: Say goodbye to chemical odors, dryness, and irritation.
Eco-friendly: Reduced chemical usage means a lower environmental impact.
Cost savings: Fewer chemicals and testing kits equate to lower long-term maintenance costs.
Smart integration: True works seamlessly with the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® system, allowing you to monitor and control your spa remotely.

With these advantages, True redefines what it means to own a hot tub—making it easier, healthier, and more sustainable.

What “clean” really means in hot tub care

When you hear the term “clean water,” it’s not just about appearance. Truly clean hot tub water:

Looks crystal clear
Smells fresh, without the chemical odor
Feels comfortable on your skin and scalp
Doesn’t dry out your hair
Requires minimal effort to maintain

Traditional methods can achieve this, but often with more time, chemicals, and effort. Advanced systems like True bring the same results—and usually better—through innovative technology that reduces hassle and enhances comfort.

Choosing the right system for you

As you consider your options, think about your lifestyle and preferences. If you enjoy a low-maintenance routine and want to minimize your exposure to chemicals, a system like True could be an excellent fit. If you’re more comfortable with tried-and-true methods, traditional or hybrid systems may still suit your needs.

No matter which path you take, the important thing is to understand that water care is essential for both enjoyment and safety. By choosing a system that aligns with your priorities—whether that’s simplicity, eco-friendliness, or tradition—you’ll be able to enjoy your hot tub to the fullest.

Making hot tub ownership easier

Hot tub ownership should be about relaxation and connection, not about constant upkeep. Modern water care systems have evolved to give you peace of mind, whether through tried-and-true methods or through innovative new technology like nanobubbles. With systems like True, you can spend less time maintaining your hot tub and more time enjoying it.

Imagine stepping into your hot tub after a long day, knowing the water is already clean, fresh, and ready for you. That’s the power of advanced water care systems—and it’s what makes hot tub ownership easier and more rewarding than ever before.

Water care may not be the first thing you think about when shopping for a hot tub, but it’s one of the most important. Whether you’re interested in traditional systems or advanced nanotechnology, the right water care solution ensures your hot tub is always ready for relaxation and enjoyment.

True stands out as a groundbreaking advancement in this field, offering you a way to reduce chemical use, minimize maintenance, and enjoy water that feels refreshing and clean every time. It’s not just about keeping your hot tub in top condition—it’s about enhancing your entire hot tub experience. So you can truly undo the Jacuzzi® hot tub way.

When you choose the right water care system, you’re not just investing in a product—you’re investing in your peace of mind, your comfort, and your ability to focus on what matters most: unwinding, connecting, and enjoying every soak.
