Hot tubs with jets: The best hot tubs for hydrotherapy

There is no end to the pleasure and relaxation that a hot tub can provide. Hydrotherapy has many benefits for your body and mind. If you are looking to experience some of the benefits of hydrotherapy, you’ve probably considered a hot tub with jets. If you’ve already done some research about hot tubs with jets, you may have come to realize that not all hot tubs with jets can deliver the same quality of hydrotherapy.

This article covers the many types of hot tub styles as well as the differences in hot tub jets. It will help guide you to make the right hot tub purchase for you based on the type of hydrotherapy you’re looking for.

What types of hot tubs have jets?

There are three common types of hot tubs including:

-Portable hot tubs

-Inflatable hot tubs, also called blow-up hot tubs

-In-ground hot tubs

However, each of these types of hot tub styles is different and delivers hydromassage in its own unique way. Here is a brief description of each:

•Portable hot tubs with jets

Portable hot tubs are also referred to as above-ground hot tubs. This is the type of hot tub that most people envision when they think of a typical hot tub. Portable hot tubs are also synonymous with the warm bubbling water created by powerful, high-performing jets.

A luxury hot tub from a premium brand can deliver a true hydromassage experience that can leave you feeling relaxed, reenergized, and rejuvenated from head to toe after your soak. If you are seeking a hot tub with jets for this very reason, a portable hot tub with high-performing jets is likely the best option for your needs.

•Inflatable, or blow-up, hot tubs with jets

Quite frankly, it is rare, if not impossible, to find an inflatable hot tub with jets that deliver true hydrotherapy. Most inflatable hot tubs on the market have blowers that create air bubbles to simulate the sensation and water movement of a traditional hot tub with jets. However, these bubblers don’t have the performance level or power to deliver true hydrotherapy that can ease tension and soothe sore muscles.

•In-ground hot tubs with jets

Most in-ground hot tubs are equipped with fewer and less powerful jets than high-quality portable hot tubs. The jets of an in-ground hot tub are typically powered by a single-speed pump, which can also impact the quality and pressure of the hydrotherapy.

What are the benefits of hot tubs with jets?

A high-quality hot tub with jets can deliver unparalleled hydromassage that can ease tension, relax your body, calm your mind, and even help with pain relief. You may have heard that soaking in a hot tub with jets can have benefits, but you may not know the extent of how that can improve your quality of life. Read on to learn about just a few ways that a hot tub with jets can enhance your well-being.
