What is the difference between a jacuzzi and a hot tub?

All Jacuzzis are hot tubs, but not all hot tubs are Jacuzzis…

When it comes to relaxation and rejuvenation, few things compare to soaking in a hot tub or Jacuzzi. These luxurious water-filled retreats offer a myriad of benefits, from soothing sore muscles to providing a tranquil escape from the stresses of daily life. But what exactly is the difference between a hot tub and a Jacuzzi?

Jacuzzi vs. hot tub: Understanding the distinction

The most important difference you should keep in mind is that a hot tub itself is a generic name while Jacuzzi is a brand of hot tubs and spa products. A hot tub is simply the name we would use to describe a tub filled with hot, generally bubbly water for people to relax in. However, not all hot tubs are Jacuzzis.

Is a Jacuzzi always hot water?

Despite the name, hot tubs don’t always have to be hot. Although they are usually kept at temperatures between 37°C to 39°C (99-102°F), with a maximum heat of 40°C (104°F), you can lower the temperature for summertime use. Simply lower the temperature of your hot tub to roughly 29°C (85°F) or turn off your heater altogether.
