Hot tub jets are one of the best parts of a hot tub, but how do you choose the right spa jets for your needs?
Choosing the Best Hot Tub Jets For Your Needs
Aspen Spas
Hot tubs can provide numerous health benefits when used in line with your personal needs and goals. Knowing what types of jets are available can help you determine which ones will be best for you.
One of the many reasons we chose to sell Aspen Spas in our showrooms (Windham, Farmingdale, Westbury/NY) is their wide range of jet options. So as you look into the best jets for your needs, you might be interested in an Aspen model. (More below)
How Does a Hot Tub Jet Work?
Aspen Spa Jets
To choose the right jets/spa model, it’s helpful to understand how they work. Spa jets are designed with varying degrees of power and size and can be used for different purposes.
There are four steps that must occur in order for a jet to work well and provide the desired outcomes. First, a pump moves the water through the pipes and toward the jets. Second, an air intake valve allows some air to get in and mix with the water. Third, the water and air are compressed as the diameter of the pipe decreases. And finally, the water and air are released through openings to create a hydromassage effect when they hit your body.
Aspen Spas Hydrotherapy Jets
Hydro-therapeutic jets are an integral aspect of Aspen’s Total Therapy experience. In every one of their spas, each seat is a different height, has a different jet pattern, hitting different parts of the body. Additionally, each jet is strategically placed to create the ideal pattern for healing, rejuvenation and serenity.
Aspen Jets/Gallons of Water Per Jet
Included in all Asian spas are:
Pinpoint jets: The smallest of our jets with a water pressure of 7 gallons per minute (GPM), they provide a precise and direct massage to your lower and middle back.
Therapy jets: At 10 GPM, these jets are the perfect mixture of water and pressure. They’re excellent for massaging the neck and back.
Power jets: Our 15 GPM power jets offer a deep tissue massage to the whole back.
Additionally, Aspen’s volcano jets are standard in ES spas and available as an upgrade for your GS model. These incredible jets burst from the footwell with unrivaled power. They’re perfect for relaxing tired muscles throughout the body – in the back, calves, feet, hamstrings, hips and knees – reinvigorating the parts that work the hardest.
Your volcano jets are even adjustable, allowing you to increase or decrease the pressure as you please.
Which Hot Tubs Are the Best?
Choosing the best hot tubs according to the jet designs really comes down to individual needs and preferences, but when it comes to quality, there are brands that stand out from the crowd.
Aspen Spas, which we’ve highlighted above are one of our top recommendations.
Also, at our Windham, NY, showroom we sell Bullfrog Spas. These are very energy-efficient hot tubs. They also offer the most customizable JetPak options for perfect personalization.
One way to determine whether the hot tub you are interested in is one of the best brands is to check online reviews. You should also avoid any company with poor service or unsatisfactory warranties. You may wish to note our blog last week, which highlighted how rare it is for one of the Aspen Spas we sell to cause a call back to us for service.
Look for hot tub manufacturers that use high-quality, durable parts, water care systems, and filters. Always choose a model that is energy-efficient and has proper insulation to keep operating costs low.
