Massage hot tubs have become an ideal choice for people to relax and relieve stress. Compared with traditional hot tubs, massage hot tubs are equipped with jets (or massage nozzles) that not only release warm water, but also provide deep hydro massage effects through different water flows and spray methods. However, many people may have such questions when purchasing or using hot tubs: "Are all massage hot tub jets the same?" The answer is that not all massage hot bathtub jets are the same. In fact, different types of jets have different designs and functions, each suitable for different massage needs. Next, let's learn about the specific differences and selection methods of these jets.

What is the function of massage hot tub jets?

The jets of massage hot tubs are the main outlets for water flow and bubbles. Their design determines the shape, speed, intensity, etc. of the water flow, thereby providing users with different massage effects. The following are several major functions of the jets in hot bathtubs:


● Promote blood circulation: The water flow sprayed by the jets can effectively accelerate local blood flow and relieve muscle tension.

● Relieve pain and stress: Through hydromassage, the water flow of the nozzle can relieve body aches and reduce stress.

● Improve body flexibility: Regular use of massage nozzles to massage the body can help enhance muscle flexibility and joint mobility.

● Enhance relaxation experience: A diverse combination of nozzles can bring different types of water flow massage, making the use experience of hot tubs more diverse.

What are the types of massage hot tub nozzles?

When choosing a hot bathtub, we will find that different nozzle designs are designed for different massage needs. These nozzles are classified according to water flow form, output method and application site. The following are several common types:


Rotary Jets

Rotary jets are one of the most common massage jets. Through the internal rotation design, the water flow is sprayed in a spiral shape to form a rotating water column. This water flow can produce a gentle impact on the body and is suitable for full-body relaxation massage. The characteristics of rotary jets are that the water flow covers a wide range, and the rotation speed and strength can be adjusted according to personal needs.


● Features: The water flow of the rotating jet has a strong impact force and a wide coverage area, which can effectively relieve muscle tension.

● Applicable parts: Suitable for large muscle areas such as shoulders, back, waist and legs.

● Use effect: For users with excessive stress, this jet can provide a long-lasting water flow massage to help relieve tense muscle groups.


Pulsating jets

The unique feature of the pulsating jet is that it can provide intermittent pulsating water flow. This jet forms a massage effect similar to "knocking" through a water flow control device. Compared with the rotating jet, the water flow impact of the pulsating jet is more direct, which is suitable for deep massage of specific areas.


● Features: Intermittent water flow stimulation, increasing the depth of massage through interval water flow pulses.

● Applicable parts: Mostly used for stiffer parts such as the back and shoulders.

● Use effect: Effectively relieve shoulder and back pain, and the deep massage effect is significant.


Directional jets

Directional jets refer to jets whose water flow direction can be manually adjusted. Users can adjust the water flow to different parts according to their needs to get the most comfortable massage experience. Directional jets are commonly found in high-end hot tubs and are suitable for full-body massage.


● Features: adjustable water flow direction, high flexibility, and moderate water flow impact.

● Applicable parts: suitable for different areas of the body and can be adjusted according to needs.

● Use effect: can accurately locate the massage part to achieve a personalized massage effect.


Micro jets

The water flow from the micro jet is more delicate and usually contains soft bubbles. Compared with other jets, the water flow of the micro jet is relatively small, which is suitable for massaging sensitive areas and providing a gentle water flow massage effect.


● Features: The water flow is small and delicate, with a bubble effect, suitable for gentle massage needs.

● Applicable parts: mainly used for the face, neck and joints.

● Use effect: while relieving muscle pressure, it provides a gentle massage experience, suitable for relaxing sensitive muscle groups.


Acupressure jets

As the name suggests, acupressure jets are jets designed to simulate the effects of acupuncture massage. The water flow of this type of nozzle is relatively small, but the pressure is relatively high. It is specifically targeted at specific acupuncture points on the body and provides deep water pressure stimulation, which is usually used to relax the shoulders and neck.


● Features: The water flow is concentrated and small, suitable for acupuncture point massage, and has a good deep stimulation effect.

● Applicable parts: Usually used in areas with many acupuncture points such as shoulders, necks, and waists.

● Effect of use: Relieve stiffness in the shoulders and neck, relax specific acupuncture points, and bring a stronger sense of relaxation.


What are the structural and functional differences between different nozzles in massage bathtubs?

Different nozzles have their own characteristics in structural and functional design. The components of the nozzle include the outer shell, rotating parts, guide plates, etc. The differences in the internal structure make the water flow form and impact force of the nozzle different. The following are the characteristics of common structural designs:


● Rotating structure: The rotating parts are designed inside the rotating nozzle, which can make the water flow spiral when spraying, enhancing the softness and coverage of the massage.

● Pulse structure: The pulse nozzle forms intermittent water flow through the barrier device set in the water flow channel to increase the impact effect of the massage.

● Air mixing design: Some nozzles add air channels to the water flow channel, so that the water flow of the nozzle carries bubbles. This structure can make the water flow more gentle and suitable for massage of sensitive areas.


Nozzles with different structures and functional designs not only meet the diverse needs of users, but also provide users with different hydromassage experiences.

● Shoulder and neck relaxation: Choose pulse nozzles and acupuncture nozzles for deep massage of the shoulders and neck to relieve soreness after long hours of work.

● Full body relaxation: You can choose rotating nozzles and directional nozzles, which are suitable for full body relaxation and provide soft and lasting water flow.
