The Horse Power Conundrum

     One of the things many spa sales people talk about is horsepower and jet numbers.  They'll say things like this tub has "two, five horsepower pumps and 80 jets".  You might hear another say "two, seven horsepower pumps and 100 jets".  The idea is that more is better.  It does seem logical, if 1 is good, 2 must be better.  I think the most jets I've ever heard of in a spa is 150.  What is being implied is that if you have more horsepower and more jets, the better the hydrotherapy, the better the spa.  In fact, horsepower and the number of jets in a spa have very little to do with the quality of the hydrotherapy or the quality of the spa.  

     What makes for quality hydrotherapy is engineering and design.  It is not how many jets or how much horsepower, it is the way the spa feels when you use it.  Are the jet configurations designed to deliver a comfortable massage?  Does the spa work different areas of the body as you move from one seat to another?  Can you sit in a multi jet therapy seat for more than just a few minutes before the jets start to feel uncomfortable or irritating?  When you turn on the jet pumps do they operate quietly or are they loud and noisy?  A Hot Spring Spa delivers superior hydrotherapy, quietly and energy efficiently.  They accomplish this through superior design and engineering. 

     The Moto-Massage DX jet is an exclusive jet system in Hot Spring Spas. Imagine two warm streams of water sweeping up and down the entire length of your back, soothing overworked muscles and loosening all the little knots of tension. With just a slight shift of your body, the warm stream glides easily over the muscles on either side of your spine.

The Soothing Seven jets are unique as well.  Each jet's seven outlets broadcast a large volume of water. Positioned side by side, these hot tub jets provide gentle treatment to your shoulders and upper back. A Hot Spring spa exclusive.

These are just two of the nine different jet systems you'll find in a Hot Spring Spa.  They provide excellent hydrotherapy.  And they do it quietly and in an energy efficient manner.  It's all about engineering and design.
