THE JACUZZI STORY – 50 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE.
A Story that begins and ends with one word: Innovation

Jacuzzi believes spas are about more than just getting into hot water, so we provide high-performance products that celebrate water's ability to refresh and rejuvenate in inspiring ways. Our product innovations are sparked by consumer insights and needs and we constantly strive to deliver experiences that enable you to transition to a better state of mind and body.

Hydrotherapy was first brought into the home by Roy Jacuzzi, the first person to add a jet of massaging air to a standard bathtub. Thanks to Jacuzzi, the benefits of hydrotherapy have literally transformed peoples' lives. In fact, it has become such a widespread phenomenon that it has revolutionized the way people imagine and experience water.

We apply this same innovative spirit and focus on our customer to every product we make. We make products that push the envelope, that raise expectations, and that make people feel better - about themselves, their homes, and their lives. Over the years, we have diversified our line to include spa seating & jet arrangements to suit every need. In the end, our products and superior technology combine warmth, water and air in unique invigorating configurations to help rejuvenate, refresh, relax and reconnect.

For over 50 years, Jacuzzi has been committed to designing spa products that are focused on the way you feel. By giving you the opportunity to relax, reduce stress, relieve aches and pains and to sleep better, we are able to produce a product that enhances people's health and happiness. And gives people an escape to a world free of stress and strain. Reset. Then take on the world again.

The first name in hot tub and bath technology is a family name: Jacuzzi®. Ours is a legacy born of passion for invention. We innovated the first generation of home hydrotherapy - and now we're moving on to the next. From our originals to new experiences. From Jacuzzi® - a legacy of creating transformational experiences with water.

Early 1900's

Around the turn of the century, seven Jacuzzi brothers immigrated to California from Italy. Working together, they made strides in aviation by inventing the first enclosed cabin monoplane. An accomplishment that led to the airplane that carried mail for the U.S. Postal Service, and passengers from the San Francisco Bay Area to Yosemite National Park.

1950's

In 1956, an idea was born. Why not treat a family member's arthritis symptoms with a hydrotherapy pump. The Jacuzzi brothers invented a pump and a small niche business was born. The J-300, a portable pump, was sold to hospitals and schools.

1960's

This innovative spirit was captured by Roy Jacuzzi, a third-generation family member who had begun learning the business as a teenager. Sensing the American consumer's interest in health, fitness and leisure activities, Roy invented and marketed the first self-contained, fully integrated whirlpool bath in 1968. By incorporating jets into the sides of the tub, it became the bath that almost single-handedly created an industry.

1970's

As larger units were designed to accommodate several people, Jacuzzi incorporated heating and filtration systems to keep the water warm and clean thus creating the first spa in 1970. In 1979, the family sold to New York-based Kidde Inc. All the family members left the business or retired, except for Roy, who stayed on to run the Jacuzzi operations.

1980's

The 80's were a decade of new designs for Jacuzzi. The Avanza was introduced - a whirlpool bath / hot tub product that could be used in either configuration. It could be installed inside or outside a house and was really the first hot tub/whirlpool bath product all in one. Other new designs included the Illusion - a large whirlpool bath that look like a volcano coming up out of the ground - and the Fiore Corner bath which was the first corner to have built-in faucets and a recirculation water rainbow that delivered a sheet of water down the rippled acrylic shell in the back of the unit.

1990's

In the early 90's, Roy Jacuzzi was inducted into the National Kitchen & Bath Hall of Fame, recognizing him for his many contributions in the innovation of hydrotherapy for home use.

TODAY

Jacuzzi has become the world's most recognized and largest selling brand of jetted/whirlpool baths and spas. In addition to the first whirlpool bath patent, Jacuzzi has 250 worldwide patents for advancements in pump systems, jet technology, air controls and product design. This ongoing commitment to innovative product development ensures Jacuzzi's leadership position in the industry, and sets standards the world over.
