Hot Tub and Spa Jets to Horsepower Ratings - Therapy or Just Looks

The best thing to remember when it comes to
jet ratings is that we often get caught up in
someones pitch on the number of jets and
completely forget about the therapy aspect of
the hot tub we are in search of. So don't get
sidetracked in your search. Often we hear of
someone that bought a portable spa or hot tub
that had all these jets and when they fired it up
for the first time they were very disappointed
in the performance of the jets.

The hot tub jet configuration as well as the number of hot tub jets is very important. So be sure that you look
for jet to pump horsepower ratio in a spa to make sure you have enough power at the spa jet head. Too many
hot tub jets and not enough horsepower makes for weak hot tub therapy. Kind of like going to a cheap hotel
and using their shower, never enough pressure to get the shampoo out of your hair.

Therapy or just looks

The correct formula to insure that you�ll receive at least the minimal therapy from your jets is as easy as this.

For every 1 horsepower there should be no more than 3�5 jets.

Therefore if you�re looking at a spa with 60 jets and it has 6 total horsepower it will feel like your little brother
holding a garden hose on you, yeah without the power nozzle too. Remember 6 multiplied 5 only comes to 30
no matter who you are.
