The history of the Jacuzzi
Around 1900 the Jacuzzi brothers, seven brothers from Italy, immigrated to America where they started living their American dream. Originally the seven brothers designed and manufactured aircrafts but due to one of the brothers dying in a plane crash they decided to focus their attention elsewhere. The expertise and the knowledge of the Jacuzzi brothers that was used to make hydraulic aircraft pumps were redirected. The family then received awards and prestige for their innovation in the technology of the first submersible water pump for agriculture.
In 1948 Candido Jacuzzi, one of the seven brothers, used the company's expertise in hydraulic pumps to design a submersible pump for bath tubs. This was due to the fact that his son was diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis and the hydrotherapy would assist with the symptoms. His son received hydrotherapy treatments at the local hospital but Candido could not stand to see him in constant pain therefore he brought the hydrotherapy home for his son. This pump was the first submersible pump that could change any bath tub into an effective hydrotherapy tool. The Jacuzzi whirlpool bath tub was marketed in 1955 as a therapeutic aid and was sold in drug stores and bath supplies stores across America. In 1968 Candido introduced the first self contained Jacuzzi; with the jets incorporated into the side of the bath tub and not available as a separate unit. A new era in whirlpool bath technology was born which has paved the way in which hydrotherapy is experienced today.
In the 1970's the larger Jacuzzi were developed to be able to accommodate larger groups of people. These whirlpool baths incorporated both heating and filtration systems to keep the water clean and heated with less effort than before. These hit tubs were unique as they enabled the ordinary family to have a relaxing spa experience right at home. In the 1980's the need for versatility arose and the Jacuzzi products could be used either as a whirlpool bath or as a hot tub and were able to be installed indoors or outdoors. In 1990's this celebrated brand name marketed the hot tubs as being as entertaining as a barbeque. As time progressed the features that were available in whirlpool baths and hot tubs abounded to include the likes of air controls, jet pumps, jet streams and various other features that make your home spa experience that much more enjoyable.
