What's the Difference Between a Jacuzzi and a Hot Tub?
What's the difference between a Jacuzzi and a hot tub? A Jacuzzi is actually one specific brand of hot tub. It has become synonymous with a hot tub, but there are several different brands of tubs out on the market. A hot tub is a small pool filled with heated water that is commonly used for relaxation and/or for hydrotherapy. They are not bathtubs. Unlike bathtubs, hot tubs are designed for use by more than one person and are mostly located outdoors.
The only other significant difference between a bathtub and a hot tub is that water in hot tubs is sanitized just like swimming pools and not changed after each use. Hot tubs were introduced in the USA in the 1940s and have since been embraced many in the country.
How Does a Hot Tub Work?
How does a hot tub work? Well, hot tubs use a pressure system that ensures water reaches the tub through the jets and a suction system which enables water to leave the tub and lead the water back to the pumps. The two systems are actually very important components of the hot tubs as they are vital in ensuring that the water the tub is fresh and clean after use.
Speaking of clean water, hot tubs also have a filter system to help with the process of cleaning the water. Air is also incorporated into water stream through the jets and this helps in the massage.
The water temperature must be checked and regulated in a hot tub as the water might be dangerously hot. Most hot tubs are set at about 102 degrees, so slightly higher than body temperature. You don't want to go much higher than this temperature, however, as you run a risk of injury from scalding. In addition, the higher that you set your temperature, you will have to shorten your time in the tub. At 102 degrees a good rule of thumb is about 15-20 minutes.
An important thing to realize is that you don't change the water after each time you use a hot tub, so you want to make sure that your tub has a very good filter system.
So let's recap. A Jacuzzi is a hot tub, but not all hot tubs are Jacuzzis. Hot tubs should have heated water, but not be too hot. And you want to make sure that your hot tub is cleaned properly every now and then. If you have questions, make sure you consult with your hot tub dealer in Glendale.
