Jets, Pumps and Power

When it comes to jets, pumps, and horsepower in a hot tub, more isn’t always better. The quality and adjustability of the jets, as well as the efficiency of the pump, play a bigger role in delivering the perfect spa massage. Strong Spas focuses on designing systems that balance power and efficiency, ensuring you get the most out of your spa without unnecessary energy costs.

The perfect
Spa Massage

The pulsing of jets is what make hot tubs so popular. Spas are sold with anywhere from 10 jets to over 100 jets, but quantity doesn’t always mean quality. It’s a myth that more jets and larger volume pumps create a better massage. It’s the volume and style of jets that matters. This is convenient for targeting key areas of pain or soreness on your body. There is no optimal number of jets; choose the level of pulsating that feels best for you.

Pump Technology

Pumps are essential for moving water through filters and heaters while also powering jets. A larger pump doesn’t always mean a better massage since hot tubs use high-volume pumps designed for low pressure but high water flow.

Adjustable Jet Strength

Most jets in spas are adjustable. Rotating the face of an adjustable jet to counter-clockwise will increase the amount of water flow through the jet. Rotating the face of an adjustable jet to the clockwise will decrease the amount of water flow through the jet.

Spa Horsepower

Often, better jets and plumbing are more important than horsepower. Oversized, large horsepower pumps can sometimes be expensive to run, although some manufactures have developed efficient pumps that lower operating costs.

Choose Quality,
Not Quantity

The most important thing to remember is that you don’t need the biggest pump or the biggest number of jets to have the perfect spa. Ask our no-hassle customer support team for help determining the perfect pumps, horsepower and jets for you.
