Q: Is it true that Roy Jacuzzi invented home hydrotherapy by developing the first whirlpool bath tub?
A: Yes, in the 1960s, Roy Jacuzzi picked up where his inventive father and uncles who had developed a number of inventions in the aviation and agricultural pump industries, left off. Roy Jacuzzi invented the world's first self-contained whirlpool bath - setting in motion a new era in hydrotherapy by making its benefits accessible, efficient and desirable for all. Shortly after, he invented the Jacuzzi spa based on the same jet technology. Since then, Jacuzzi has been awarded more than 250 patents worldwide for innovations in pump systems, jet technology, air controls, and product design.

Q: Does Jacuzzi make more than bath tubs?
A: Since the very first whirlpool bath was developed by Roy Jacuzzi, more products have been produced by Jacuzzi Inc. to perfect the bathing experience, including an extensive line of air baths, soaking baths, showers, complementary sink and toilet suites, and spas.

Q: What is the difference between a whirlpool bath and an air bath?
A: Whirlpool baths circulate a combination of air and water to produce an intense, targeted massage; whereas, air baths use only pure heated air to create a lighter and softer massage that feels more champagne than shiatsu.

Q: What is unique about a Jacuzzi whirlpool bath?
A: Jacuzzi jet technology and positioning are more than unique - they're industry-leading and superior in performance and effect. Laboratory tests show that Jacuzzi jets outperform those from other manufacturers. Unlike others that merely produce high pressure, the Jacuzzi PowerProTM Jet System works at a lower pressure and moves an equal ratio of air and water - more than 30 percent more than the competition - creating an extra wide, circular flow that massages more areas of the body than just those directly in front of the jets.

Jet technology is only half of the equation. Unlike some whirlpool tubs where jets face each other - seemingly at odds, fighting one another at the center of the tub - Jacuzzi jets are set at an angle, working with the deliberate, contoured curves of the tub to create genuine whirlpool action that offers the current and buoyancy integral to effective hydrotherapy.

Q: What is unique about a Jacuzzi air bath?
A: Jacuzzi air baths are designed for complete bathing comfort. Unlike competitive products, there are no cold spots in the Jacuzzi air bath. Only Jacuzzi Pure Air® baths offer 360° Balanced Airflow technology - a proprietary system that pushes heated air evenly and consistently through a network of channels so each and every body part receives a warm air massage. While other manufacturers place air channels only at the bottom of the tub, Jacuzzi air baths add an extra level of rejuvenation - the Thermal Lumbar Comfort® (TLC) system that directs heated air to the lower lumbar region to create a stream of warm bubbles that massage the neck and back.

Q: When Jacuzzi refers to innovation, what does it mean?
A: Innovation is key to Jacuzzi's commitment to designing products that consumers want. We do this by focusing on delivering products that offer unique experiences. All products, including Jacuzzi whirlpool baths, air baths, soaking baths, shower systems, and sink and toilet suites deliver the ideal bathing experience for every individual - that's innovation. Jacuzzi combines technology with design to develop innovative features to fulfill consumer needs and insights.

Q: What are the trends in bathing that Jacuzzi has used to develop their products?
A: Jacuzzi designs products that meet consumers' needs. Today's consumer is on a quest for comfort and a simplified lifestyle. Through contemporary and minimalist design combined with innovative technology, Jacuzzi delivers products that stimulate and soothe the body, mind and spirit. An example of multi-faceted convenience is the new Jacuzzi Allusion® Combination tub that marries the therapeutic massage of a whirlpool bath and the gentle soothing massage of an air bath into one system.

Jacuzzi fulfills consumers' pursuit of tranquility by designing products that imitate nature and simplify life - whether it's the flow of waterfalls, a spring rain or a warm breeze. The new Jacuzzi Summer RainTM II is the first shower that allows bathers the enjoyment of two different shower experiences with multiple water settings, adjustable body massage jets and a head-to-toe body drying system.

Q: Why should people buy a Jacuzzi product?
A: Since inventing the whirlpool bath more than 30 years ago, Jacuzzi has continued to deliver innovations in pump systems, jet technology, air controls, and product design. Jacuzzi products deliver the ideal bathing experience for every individual through customizable features.

Q: How does a consumer choose a bath?
A: Jacuzzi products are all about the experience - the extraordinary things ordinary water can do for you. To choose which of Jacuzzi's bathing systems is the right fit for your lifestyle, it's important to consider how the bath will be used. Jacuzzi whirlpool baths offer a therapeutic experience.
Targeted jets and warm, swirling waters massage away aching joints, sore muscles and long workouts.
Jacuzzi Pure Air baths provide a gentle, calming experience. Millions of effervescent bubbles create a delicate curtain of heated air that rises through water to caress the body and sooth the mind.
Jacuzzi combination baths offer the best of both worlds by combining both experiences in one bath.
