What's The Difference?

I have often been asked, what is the difference between a Jacuzzi, a spa and a hot tub.  Well, that's what I say!  While the terms are often used interchangeably,  Hot Tub, or as some folks say, Hottub, can mean any heated body of water used for bathing, where the emphasis is toward heat, and  they may not have many (or any) powerful jets for massage.  The term hot tub is commonly used to mean Spa.  Generally, the term Spa refers to hot tubs which have numerous, powerful jets, and the emphasis is toward massage.  Modern spas usually have groups of jets, often targeted  to specific muscle groups.  The term Jacuzzi actually refers to the brand name Jacuzzi, because they were the pioneers in the spa and hot tub industry.  Many people also use the term Jacuzzi  when referring to a whirlpool bath, as it is still a very popular brand. When someone  calls for service or repair  on a Jacuzzi, we always ask  a few more identification questions, but other than that, What's the difference?

    Pools, Spas, and Hot Tubs are more than just luxuries, they are fun, healthy, and, for some, therapeutic.  More than that, they are an investment - both in money, and in quality of life!  Just like an automobile, your Pool, Spa, or Hot Tub should be well maintained, clean, and properly serviced so that they can fill their purpose reliably.

A modern spa is a sophisticated, precise appliance,  and should be serviced by a qualified pool and spa professional.  The spa controls, circuit boards, and equipment can be damaged by inexperienced people who may try to repair it themselves, so, if you are having a problem with your spa, call or email us to set up an appointment.  Please don't tamper with the unit before consulting us,  We have seasoned, Friendly spa and hot tub repair professionals.  If there is a simple fix for the problem, we will tell you.  If not, it is much easier to troubleshoot (diagnose) a more complicated control and equipment problem, if we can see it unaltered.  Having the knowledge of an honest, trained professional pool or spa service and repair technician may actually save you money!

Spa and hot tub heaters normally heat to a maximum of 104.  In order for the heater to come on, the pump must be running, the filter must be clean, and the control must be working and set to call for heat.  Most self-contained spas have a control panel, called a topside control, or spaside control, which turns on the pumps, blower, jets, and heater.  Once the temperature is set, the pump should automatically come on for a specific amount of time,  or until a specific temperature is reached.  Control systems vary, depending on the spa pack manufacturer.  We have a page - where you can download owner's manuals - Tech Data - A-Pro Services  If your spa or spa control is not listed, please use the contact link on the page, and we will upload it for you!
