Imagine just having your very own personal masseuse to direct which muscles and tendons to massage. This is of course what you should expect from a hot tub Jacuzzi with modern technology

Maximum Turbo charging:-

* The Jets are able to provide a vigorous massage to help loosen those tight knotted muscles and naturally increase blood and oxygen circulation which helps to bring nutrients to sore muscles and joints Medium Turbo charging:-

This kind of lounger seat with in excess of some fifty Jets in just one seat will provide a pulsating wave massage which works its way down your body at one to two rows at a time moving from ones neck right down to ones toes. This type of lounger will probably have something like seven function programmable controls which will provide seven massage patterns at various variable speeds over your body.

* A purpose built foot massager will have Strategically placed nozzle jets to allow a constant flow in order to provide an invigorating massage to a wide area of the feet. Ideal for Golfers and those that like to walk a lot.

* The contoured wrap around neck rest will have two directional Jets that allows warm jetted water to be directed to various locations of the neck and shoulders to sooth neck and shoulder tension.

These are just some of the ideas and technology available today in the latest Hot Tub designs that are available. If you are looking for a Hot Tub and this kind of technology is not available then you are probably looking at last years or even the last decade’s model or perhaps a very cheap import from the east.

The combination of warm water with massage Jets and some gentle air combined with semi buoyancy and then you have a winning formula that will provide a pleasant & unforgettable sensation of Hydrotherapy. This brings relief to sore muscles & joints and also goes a long way to relax the mind and body to relieve that every day stress that we all suffer from in our daily lives.

My favourite manufacturer of quality American hot tubs has been in the business since 1965 and having had more than 40 years of experience in the hot tub industry, this company has lead the way in development & advancement of product enhancements which incorporate the very latest ideas in Jets, Insulation and Dynamic Massage. At the same time, their design teams and engineers have modernised and streamlined the manufacturing process in order to be able to deliver superior quality american hot tubs at competitive prices thereby giving our customers the best quality and the value they deserve.

They have many ideas which are patented such as a Wave Max ” seat which has 20 Jets that cleverly move the jetted water across five streams of Jets one row at a time, up and down your back – giving the sensation of gentle fingers massaging those aching, tired muscles. Then there is the Ultra Wave Lounger this provides Hydro massage to your Shoulders, full back, thighs, calves and feet. This lounger seat provides an outstanding pulsating wave massage one to two rows at a time from your neck to your toes. There are seven different massage patterns available at three variable speeds. When you see this run it is a bit like having two or three independent whirlpool Jacuzzis in the same hot tub it is just estupendo.

A good spa dealer will also have entry level Hot Tubs which represent outstanding value together with the Ultimate top of the range Hot Tub with perhaps as many as 130 Jets – full perimeter under water LED Lighting – 200 Watt stereo sound systems with speakers that transmit the sound through the shell into the water together with two external patio speakers I only know of one manufacturer who does such a package. Watch out for those unbranded Hot Tubs, usualyy the ones with out Balboa controls (the worlds leader) it will be either a non-branded product so is second best and more thsn likely a cheap import from China.

A professional Hot Tub dealer in Spain will have a VAT or IVA number and be happy to provide a free site survey and will be able to advise on access and generally as to the suitability of the proposed location at no cost.
