Back when jacuzzi were first invented, the first models were very simple and performed nothing like they do today. Since these modern jacuzzis offer user more options than ever before, you should take full advantage of these options! This section of Hot Tubs and Portable Spas is aimed to bring attention of the various jacuzzi options and compare them, so when you finally decide to make a purchase you are better informed of every possible jacuzzi option available.
When the first hot tub spa came out, all it had was simple bench seating. With maximum comfortability in mind, jacuzzi nowadays now offer much more than just that. You can customize your hot tubs to have bucket seats which are indented and hug your bottom much more comfortably than the original bench. Probably the most comfortable type of jacuzzi seat, especially for those with back pain is the hot tub lounger – a seat that you can rest your back down on while keeping your head above water. And then there’s the cool down hot tubs seat, which raises hot tub bers out of the water a bit, to give them some relief when they start to overheat.
There might be one of these seats with added benefits of hydrotherapy compared to the other jacuzzi seats that we like to call “Hydrotherapy Seats”. While some hot tub dealers might try to say that they have other types of seats, usually they are just one of the options above that I just mentioned, re-packaged with a new name. Don’t fall for that sales gimmick.
The best option for the majority of people is to utilize a combination of these seats, and reap the benefits from everyone of these seats.
There are the standard hot tub jets, the smaller jacuzzi jets give you a more soothing / lighter massage, large whirlpool jets that move a lot of water around the hot tub spa and pulsating / moving jets do exactly what the name implies and can give a great massage.
While hot tub manufacturers might call their jets something different and try to claim that their system is better, this is basically type of jacuzzi jets will fall into one of these categories.
Once again the best jet systems incorporate a combination of these features for the ultimate in hydrotherapy massage and total relaxation!
jacuzzi come in all different shapes and sizes. While none of these options really affects the hot tubs performance, what you should choose will all come down to what is options are available and how many people will be using it at one time.
The main jacuzzi shapes that you will find are circle, square, rectangular and oval while some hot tubs can come in the shapes of hearts and all kinds of other options. If you are looking for indoor hot tubs then your jacuzzi shape might be confined to the shape of the room you are planning on putting it in. The shape won’t ever effect your hot tub spa performance, but you might prefer the look of one over another.
Your choice of hot tub size will boil down to how many people will be using it. If you live with only 1 other person, then maybe all you need is the intimate 2 person hot tub. But if you have a big family or expect to have big hot tub parties, then maybe you should invest in the largest 8 person jacuzzi.
Being aware of all the different options will maximize the enjoyment you receive out of your jacuzzi.
