In strict and most common usage the
re is no genuine difference between
 a hot tub and a Jacuzzi. Both are
used to explain tubs of hot water w
hich use jets of forced air to prod
uce currents and bubbles, either fo
r therapeutic or strictly pleasurab
le purposes. Jacuzzi is a brand nam
e, and so strictly speaking it port
rays only those hot tubs and spas m
anufactured by the Jacuzzi Company.
 The Jacuzzi brothers immigrated to
 California from Italy in the early
 half of the 20th century, and acco
rding to the company_s website were
 productive inventors. Starting wit
h aviation inventions, the Jacuzzi
brothers moved into hydraulics, mak
ing great strides with the agricult
ural pump. In 1956 they invented a
hydrotherapy pump for personal use.
 This pump, the J-300, was then sol
d to hospitals and schools.

More about the hot tub

In 1968, Roy Jacuzzi created the fi
rst whirlpool spa, which he used to
 call as the Roman. The Roman was b
ased on the hydrotherapeutic pumps
of Roy_s parents and grandparents,
integrating them flawlessly into a
standalone unit. Roy brought his cr
eation around the country, capitali
zing on a national obsession with c
leanliness, and it became an overni
ght success to such a point that wi
thin a few short decades the brand
name has become virtually synonymou
s with the invention itself. In inf
ormal use a hot tub is often seen a
s distinguished from a Jacuzzi or s
pa by its lack of jets. In this sen
se any hot bath or basin of water c
ould be correctly referred to as a
hot tub. More often, however, it is
 used purposely when discussing suc
h things as wooden barrel hot tubs,
 often with wood-burning stoves or
other alternative forms of heating.

Conclusion

This distinction does not hold up i
n industry discussions, and from th
e point of view of a strict definit
ion, it is best to treat hot tub an
d Jacuzzi as mutually interchangeab
le words. Product literature, for i
nstance, refers often to Jacuzzi ho
t tubs, giving the general product
and the brand name. If we accept th
e meaning of hot tub as being neces
sarily without jets, then the term
Jacuzzi hot tub becomes an oxymoron
. Life is filled of stress. Wouldn_
t it be nice to come home to a bubb
ling, swirling soak in a hot tub to
 where you could sooth your exhaust
ed body and restore your mind and s
pirit? Hot tubs are the ideal way t
o wind down, relax with family, and
 enjoy the company of friends. Ther
e are factually hundreds of self-co
ntained, portable hot tub models av
ailable. If you take a little time
to investigate brands, find a quali
fied dealer, and test out the featu
res, you_re sure to find a hot tub
that suits your budget and needs.
