Information on Jacuzzis
A hot tub is a large home-made or manufactured tub or small pool full of heated water and used for soaking, relaxation, massage, or hydrotherapy. In most cases, they have jets for massage purposes. Hot tubs are usually located outdoors, and are often sheltered for protection from the elements, as well as for privacy.
There are two different styles of hot tubs; simple wood-staved soaking tubs and one piece plastic tubs (Usually referred to as "spas")
Hot tubs are usually heated using an electric or natural gas heater, though there are also submersible wood-fired heaters, as well as solar hot water systems. hot tubs are also found at natural hot springs; in this case, the water may be dangerously hot and must be combined with cool water for a safe soaking temperature.
Water sanitization is very important in hot tubs, as many organisms thrive in a warm, wet environment. Maintaining the hot tub water chemistry is also necessary for proper sanitization and to prevent damage to the hot tub.
Of the 130-odd manufacturers in North America in 2005, the top twenty each produced more than 7,000 spas annually.China is quickly becoming the largest supplier of Hot tubs.
Jacuzzi is a company that produces whirlpool bathtubs and hot tubs. Its first product was a bath with massaging jets. The trademarked Jacuzzi name is also commonly used to refer to any bath with water jets, and can thus be considered a genericized trademark. Sometimes spas and hot tubs are also mistakenly referred to as Jacuzzis. The company advertises that "they are Jacuzzi, and everyone else's are just hot tubs." Their current slogan is "Jacuzzi: The Home Spa Experience."
