The word “Jacuzzi” has long been synonymous with high-quality hot tubs that exude luxury. This brand is widely considered the gold standard in hot tubs and is well known for offering top-of-the-line technology and accessories. In this article, we’re going to take a trip down memory lane and unfold the true history behind the brand that pioneered the hot tub industry.
The Jacuzzi Family Legacy
The Jacuzzi® Hot Tub’s story begins in the early 1900s with a family that emigrated to the United States from Europe and worked hard to build their aviation business, but eventually shifted their specialty to water pumps and irrigation systems. Their dedication to efficiency in the agriculture industry led them to make a profound development in 1925 when they designed the world’s first submersible pump. This advanced technology had yet to be employed and took the industry by storm.
The family’s streak of success would be halted when one of the seven brothers would be diagnosed with severe arthritis soon after. The brothers explored ideas to utilize their technology to help him with his pain and eventually came up with the J-300. This new rendition of the submersible pump was added to a personal bath, which seemed to have a therapeutic effect on his pain. This stroke of genius created yet another wave in the hydro-pump industry and catapulted them to a new level of success.
The brothers agreed that they had to bring this product to market, but how? They eventually developed a design for a stand-alone tub that had a new form of technology called the “Roman”. The Roman offered an all in one whirlpool style bath that featured a 50/50 water to air ration, which created an unparalleled water jet experience.
Over the next few decades, the family expanded their line of products and included unique features, such as waterfall experiences and energy-efficient circuitry. This constant innovation, and increased efficiency in manufacturing and production, allowed for the Jacuzzi name to be something that was attainable for many families and homeowners. As soon as the public started to recognize the health benefits as well as the social experience of having your very own hot tub, it started to be grouped in with social events, including barbecues and backyard gatherings alike.
Jacuzzi® Hot Tubs is now a leader in the industry. In fact, you may have heard someone refer to any hot tub as a Jacuzzi®, no matter the brand. This worldwide recognition has been earned, with a constant drive to innovate and patent the newest technologies.
The story of the Jacuzzi® family is indeed one about the American dream and the rise to success. It is a testament that as long as you work hard, and dedicate yourself to your craft, anything is possible.
