History of Jacuzzi

The Jacuzzi brothers immigrated to California from Italy in the beginning of the 20th century, and were productive inventors who worked hard to achieve results. Starting with aviation inventions, they moved into hydraulics, making great progress with the agricultural pump. In 1956 they invented a hydrotherapy pump for personal use, and named the J-300 it was sold to hospitals and schools to assist with hydrotherapy.

In 1968, Roy Jacuzzi created the first whirlpool spa called the Roman which was based on the hydrotherapeutic pumps of Roy's family. He brought his invention around the country and it became a success so that within a few decades the brand name has become synonymous with the invention itself and is popular all over the world. People will refer to a hot tub as a Jacuzzi not knowing that Jacuzzi refers to a company and brand name, not the product itself.

The Differences between Jacuzzi and Hot Tub

There is no real difference between a Spa, Hot Tub, Jacuzzi or Whirlpool. A spa hot tub is now the more common name. All names are used to describe tubs of hot water which use jets of forced air to create currents and bubbles, either for therapeutic or pleasant purposes.
