How to troubleshoot your hot tub jets not working
8 min read Updated 17 Jul 2024
Adjustable jets in every seat, fountains and waterfalls, chromotherapy lighting and audio you can feel through the water.
Each seat is designed around a different part of the body. Reverse-moulded shoulder jets reach the trapezius where most people carry tension. Lumbar clusters work the lower back. Reflexology foot jets in the footwell target the pressure points that a day on your feet leaves sore.
Every jet is individually adjustable and can be closed completely, and centralised air controls set the pressure for each seat group. Two people in the same tub can have a deep tissue massage and a gentle soak at the same time.
Deluxe range tubs use standard hydrotherapy jets, positioned for a gentle, effective massage of the main muscle groups. Premium and Luxury use slimline recessed jets, which sit flush with the shell and deliver a higher impact, more targeted stream for deep tissue relief.
Jet count is on every product page, but count matters less than placement and pressure. A seat with eight well placed jets and its own air control does more than one with twenty.
Pop-up fountains and wide-blade waterfalls do two jobs. They move and aerate the water, and they give the tub a sound. Moving water masks traffic and neighbours and is the part of a hot tub most owners say they would miss.
Premium and Luxury add infinity fountains and wider waterfalls, and every water feature is backlit so it becomes part of the lighting after dark.
Colour-changing LEDs run along the waterline and in the footwell of every model, with backlit jets, exterior mood lighting and illuminated cup holders added as you move up the ranges. Choose a fixed colour or a slow fade.
Chromotherapy is the practice of using colour to shift mood. Whether or not you buy the science, a tub lit warm amber at ten at night feels different from one lit clinical white, and the control is yours.
Bluetooth audio is standard on every model. Pair a phone and play what you like through weatherproof speakers built into the cabinet. Premium adds HD speakers.
Luxury goes further with Platinum Melody: a dedicated subwoofer plus transducers bonded to the shell, which turn the whole tub into a resonating speaker. You hear the music through the air and feel it through the water. Volume and playlists are controlled from the main touchscreen, so your phone stays dry.
Yes. Air controls are grouped by seat, and every jet can be opened, closed or aimed individually.
They are rated for the spa environment and sit inside the cabinet above the waterline. Do not submerge your phone: pair it and leave it somewhere dry.
LEDs draw a few watts. Fountains and waterfalls run off the same pumps as the jets, so they add nothing when the jets are already on.
