The market for jetted bathtubs is so large, that choosing the right spa for you can be quite a challenge. Spas are made of different materials, they have more or fewer jets and the technology behind the jets is different. You should know more about each of the spa types before making any kind of purchase. Yet, finding a replacement spa jet will never be a problem. There are two main types of jet spas. There are the spas that make use of water jets and the spas that use air jets to give you a relaxing and refreshing experience. Both of these technical solutions have their ups and downs and below you will find out some details about each of these spa technologies. The water jet tubs use the pumps under the spa shell to pump water and create jets some of them even having directional waterways. Take for example those Artesian spa jets that seem to make fountains out of your spa and change your spa days into a really fun experience. If you want a stronger massage effect, water jets bathtubs are the perfect choice for you. It is easier to take water and pump it into the spa than air and that is why a water jet will be more powerful. In the same time, because this kind of spas uses pumps water, the jets will be a bit warmer than the similar air jets. You should not choose a water jet bathtub if you like to take bubble baths or if you prefer spa salts in the water, as it is forbidden for any sort of material - soap or salt - to reach the pump as it will block it in time. More expensive water jet spas have self-cleaning mechanisms, but cheaper units do not have such devices and you must always use clean water. The air jets s the other jet technology used by spa manufacturers. Instead of water, these sorts of spas will pump air under pressure inside the spa to create the massage effect. With an air jet spa you can use bath foams or bath salts or other kind of bath oils, but you should know that the power of these spa air jets will be lower compared to water jets. Another thing you should be aware of is that because air is pumped continuously through the spa, the water will get colder faster, which will force you to refill the spa with warmer water. Both types of spas usually have more jet orifices and the more expensive the spa is, the more jet opening will have, enhancing your massage experience. |
