A Little History on Hydrotherapy
The idea of a relaxing soak in hot water is by no means a new one. Throughout history people from many cultures have enjoyed this practice. From naturally occurring thermal springs to elaborately constructed bath houses, the benefits of hydrotherapy are well established.
Many hot springs have long histories of special status with Native American tribes. They used these natural spas for healing and believed the waters had other powers. The Romans took it a step further by incorporating these thermal waters into their communities.
They understood the rejuvenating characteristics of hydrotherapy and enjoyed their daily soaks in the company of their friends and peers. By the fifth century there were as many as 900 public baths in Rome alone. The Greeks, Egyptians, Turks, and the Japanese all enjoyed thermal springs and baths as part of their social and spiritual culture.
Oranges and Ingenuity
In the 1920s the Jacuzzi brothers turned their attention to agriculture specifically oranges and water systems and pumps. Their success in this field led them to an invention that became an iconic fixture in many homes.
In 1925, the Jacuzzi brothers revolutionized the pump industry. They developed a new type of pump that was able to draw water out of the ground more efficiently than any pump that came before it. The idea was so ingenious that skepticism threatened to derail the venture. But then, at the California State Fair in 1930, a Gold Medal Award for their invention opened the floodgates. Their methods of moving water with water provided the foundation for the jet pump industry in today's whirlpool baths and outdoor hot tubs.
Necessity being the mother of invention led the family to the next step in the creation of their legacy. In 1956 the Jacuzzi brothers responded to a family member's need for pain relieving hydrotherapy. Their knowledge of hydraulics and their ingenuity led to the creation of a portable hydrotherapy pump. The J-300™ would turn normal bath tubs into relaxing and rejuvenating hydro-therapeutic home spas. An idea that started a niche market created the opportunity for Jacuzzi to become a household name.
Hydrotherapy to the Next Level
Moving ahead to 1968, third generation family member Roy Jacuzzi, brought the portable hydrotherapy pump to the next level. Having worked in the family business since he was a teenager, his passion for design and engineering took form when he created and marketed the world's first integrated whirlpool bath, the "Roman."
The key to the Roman was the incorporation of innovative therapy jets into the sides of the bath tub. His patented jets produced a 50/50 air to water ratio providing an experience like none before. The same air to water ratio we use today to provide a home spas experience you won't find anywhere else. While his family members looked on with both surprise and delight, Roy was instrumental in creating a whole new industry. The brand Jacuzzi® became forever imprinted in our minds.
In 1970, larger units with built-in heating and filtration systems, were introduced to accommodate groups of people, thus creating the first hot tub. For the first time in recent history anyone could indulge in a relaxing and invigorating spa treatment with friends and family in their own homes.
Recognizing the movement towards more fit and active lifestyles, the '80s saw the Jacuzzi line expand to enhance the home spa experience. Models like the Cambio™, worked in multiple configurations as hot tubs, whirlpool baths or both. More importantly these new models could be installed indoors or outdoors. Bringing the Jacuzzi hot tub right along side pools and barbecues, greatly increasing the social aspects for the home home spas.
