How to control your hot tub with your wearable device: A guide to the Jacuzzi^® SmartTub^® System

Connecting your wearable device

Once your hot tub is properly set up with the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® System, the next step is to connect your wearable device. Wearables such as smartwatches (Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch, for example,) are increasingly integrated into the SmartTub® ecosystem.

For Apple Watch users:

1. Download the SmartTub® app for Apple Watch: The SmartTub® System supports Apple Watch integration. After setting up the app on your iPhone, you can install the companion app for Apple Watch from the App Store.
2. Sync with your iPhone: Ensure that your Apple Watch is paired with your iPhone. Once your devices are synced, the SmartTub® app will be able to communicate with both.
3. Enable notifications: In the SmartTub® app on your iPhone, you’ll want to enable notifications. This will allow you to receive real-time alerts directly on your Apple Watch, such as temperature changes, water quality readings, or maintenance reminders.
4. Using the Apple Watch app: On your Apple Watch, you can access basic controls like adjusting the temperature, checking the status of the jets, and even receiving updates on your hot tub’s performance. This allows you to control your spa without needing to pull out your phone, making it even more convenient.

For Samsung Galaxy Watch users:

1. Download the SmartTub® app for Samsung Galaxy Watch: Like Apple Watch, Samsung Galaxy Watches are compatible with the SmartTub® system. Download the app from the Galaxy Store to begin.
2. Pair with your smartphone: Ensure that your Galaxy Watch is paired with your phone. Then, ensure the SmartTub® app on your phone is configured to communicate with the watch.
3. Check notifications and settings: Once connected, you can use your Galaxy Watch to receive notifications, check water quality, and make adjustments to your hot tub settings, all from your wrist.

If you're using a different smartwatch or wearable device that runs on Android Wear or another compatible operating system, you may still be able to access the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® features with the proper app installed. Make sure to check if your device is supported or if third-party apps are available.

Understanding the features available on your wearable device

The main advantage of using your wearable device with the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® System is the ability to control and monitor your hot tub on the go. Here are some key features available on your wearable:

Temperature control—One of the primary features is the ability to adjust the temperature of your hot tub from your wrist. Whether you’re still lounging on the couch or coming home from a busy day, you can change the temperature without needing to access the full app on your phone. This ensures your hot tub is just the right temperature when you’re ready to use it.

Jet control—Using your wearable, you can adjust the power and settings of the jets in your hot tub. If you want a more intense massage or a gentler flow, this can be done easily from your watch. This adds an extra layer of personalization to your hot tub experience.

Maintenance and alerts—The SmartTub® system provides real-time alerts regarding maintenance and water quality. If your hot tub requires attention—whether it’s time for a filter change, a water level issue, or a problem with the pump—you’ll receive notifications directly on your wearable. This helps you stay on top of hot tub maintenance before any major issues arise.

Monitoring water quality—The system continuously monitors the quality of the water in your hot tub, including factors like pH balance, sanitizer levels, and temperature. You’ll receive alerts if any of these factors go out of range, allowing you to take action right from your wrist.

Energy efficiency—If you’re looking to save on energy costs, the SmartTub® System provides energy management features. With your wearable device, you can review your hot tub’s energy usage and make adjustments to improve efficiency, such as scheduling hot tub cycles or activating an energy-saving mode.

Troubleshooting and maintaining your system

While the SmartTub® System offers ease of use, there may be occasions when you need to troubleshoot. Here’s how to address common issues:

Connection problems—If your wearable device is not communicating with the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® System, ensure that both your phone and the wearable are properly synced. If the connection is still problematic, check your Wi-Fi settings, as a weak or disconnected network can cause issues.

App updates—Ensure both the SmartTub® app on your phone and the wearable device app are up to date. Regular updates ensure you have access to the latest features and bug fixes.

Maintenance alerts—If you receive a maintenance alert, such as a notification about water quality, be sure to follow up on the issue promptly. Most maintenance tasks can be handled easily by following the in-app instructions, but if you’re unsure, your Jacuzzi® dealer or service team is a valuable resource.

The Jacuzzi® SmartTub® System is a game-changing technology that puts the control of your hot tub right at your fingertips—or on your wrist. With the ability to manage temperature, jets, water quality, and more directly from your wearable device, your hot tub experience is as convenient and personalized as it gets. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet evening at home or monitoring your spa from afar, this technology brings ease, control, and peace of mind to your everyday life. By following these simple steps, you’ll be able to make the most of your hot tub and wearable device—turning relaxation into a truly modern experience.
