JETS, PUMPS & HORSEPOWER
Strong Spas
Strong Spas is one of the largest manufacturers in the world, all built in the United States.
The pulsing of jets is what make hot tubs so popular. Spas are sold with anywhere from 10 jets to over 100 jets, but quantity doesn’t always mean quality. It’s a myth that more jets and larger volume pumps create a better massage. It’s the volume and style of jets that matters. This is convenient for targeting key areas of pain or soreness on your body. There is no optimal number of jets; choose the level of pulsating that feels best for you.
Pump Technology
Pumps circulate water through the filter and heaters and power the jets. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean a larger pump creates a better massage. Hot tubs use high volume pumps, meaning they are designed to handle a lot of water and low pressure.
Adjustable Jet Strength
Most jets in spas are adjustable. Rotating the face of an adjustable jet to the left (counter-clockwise) will increase the amount of water flow through the jet. Rotating the face of an adjustable jet to the right (clockwise) will decrease the amount of water flow through the jet.
Spa Horsepower
Often, better jets and plumbing are more important than horsepower. Oversized, large horsepower pumps can sometimes be expensive to run, although some manufactures have developed efficient pumps that lower operating costs.
The most important thing to remember is that you don’t need the biggest pump or the biggest number of jets to have the perfect spa. Ask our no-hassle customer support team for help determining the perfect pumps, horsepower and jets for you.
