Jacuzzi

Jacuzzi is a brand name for a company that manufactures whirlpool baths and hot tubs. The company was founded in 1915 by the Jacuzzi brothers, who were Italian immigrants to the United States. Initially, the company focused on developing agricultural pumps and later expanded into hydrotherapy equipment. Their early innovations included a submersible pump for agricultural use and a portable hydrotherapy device.

The breakthrough for the Jacuzzi brand in the consumer market came with the invention of the first integrated whirlpool bath in 1968. This device featured jets that could be inserted into a regular bathtub, creating a therapeutic water massage. The popularity of these whirlpool baths led to the development of freestanding hot tubs, also known as Jacuzzis. These units are typically self-contained and can be installed indoors or outdoors, offering heated water and powerful jets for relaxation and therapeutic benefits.

Over the years, Jacuzzi has continued to innovate in the hot tub and spa industry, introducing features such as advanced jet systems, digital controls, LED lighting, and integrated sound systems. The brand is recognized globally for its hydrotherapy products and has become synonymous with the concept of a hot tub for many consumers. While "Jacuzzi" is a brand, the term is often used generically to refer to any hot tub or whirlpool bath, similar to how "Kleenex" is used for facial tissues. The company's product line also includes bathtubs, shower systems, and other bathroom fixtures.
