Hydromassage jets

Hydromassage jets create intense pressure on specific body areas. They are usually positioned in the hot tub to target specific zones, such as the back and legs.

• The hydromassage jet system provides a deep massage, making it suitable for relieving muscle tension and pain, thus helping address musculoskeletal issues.

Operating principle
Hydromassage jets create water streams mixed with air that flow at high speed and low pressure.
More detail. The jets operate based on the Venturi principle: water initially passes through a pump, where it is filtered, and then moves into a narrowing pipe, causing the pressure to decrease while the speed increases. At this point, air mixes with the water flow through another pipe, and then the mixed stream is expelled through the jets. The hydromassage system allows for adjusting the jet angles and water stream pressure (via a button).

Air massage jets

Air massage jets provide a gentler massage, making them more suitable for prolonged relaxation in the hot tub. Unlike hydromassage jets, they are usually distributed throughout the tub, creating bubbles that spread evenly through the water without targeting specific body areas.

• Air jets are an excellent choice for relaxing and relieving stress. The air massage system in the hot tub can help relax muscles, improve circulation, and reduce tension, headaches, and more.

Operating principle
The air massage system uses air to create thousands of bubbles and a whirlpool effect. The system draws in air from outside the tub, which then flows through pipes, forming thousands of bubbles. These bubbles are released into the hot tub through the jets.

So, which massage system suits you best? With hydromassage vs air massage jets?

  • Hydromassage – for intense deep massage and pain relief.
  • Air massage – for gentle relaxation and stress relief.
  • But why choose? Opt for a hot tub with both systems for the ultimate experience!
