Long before the Jacuzzi brothers made spas for home use they were in the pump business. Natuarally, Jacuzzi spas employ the technology developed years earlier in the manufacture of a variety of pump types. There is a big benefit in having advanced Jacuzzi pumps powering a Jacuzzi spa. Because many spa manufacturers will buy their pumps based on availability or volume discounts, they may not always be well-matched to the rest of the system of plumbing, jets, and filters. Because Jacuzzi makes the pumps used in their spas, they have been engineered to perfectly match the demands of the rest of the water distribution system. This ensures the right pressure and volume of water is being provided to the various other components, extending their life, and providing the best spa experience for the owner. Horsepower alone is not an accurate way of determining the quality of a spa. Due to advanced engineering of their pumps, precisely matched to the rest of the spas components, Jacuzzi can use more energy-efficient pumps and get better performance than spas using more powerful, energy-guzzling equipment.
