Air Jetted Bathtubs

The right jet count depends on your therapeutic goals. Hydro Massage Products' Silver series starts at 12 jets for gentle relaxation, Gold offers 18 jets for moderate coverage, and Platinum delivers 34 jets for full-body therapeutic massage. For chronic pain or muscle tension, a higher jet count in Gold or Platinum is generally recommended to maximize coverage and pressure.

Yes. Hydro Massage Products' air jetted tubs feature EZ Clean air jets with a sanitary design, plus the Hydro Clean sanitation system that purges water from the internal lines after each use. Because air jets circulate only air rather than water through the internal plumbing, they inherently resist mold and bacteria buildup far better than traditional water-jet whirlpool systems.

Air jets blow pressurized air through multiple small nozzles to create a soft, bubbly, full-body massage sensation. Water jets (whirlpool systems) recirculate water at higher pressure to target specific muscle groups with a deeper, more intense massage. Combination tubs from Hydro Massage Products offer both systems simultaneously, providing both gentle effervescence and targeted hydrotherapy in one unit.

Hydro Massage Products' air jetted bathtubs are available in three installation types: freestanding (sits directly on the floor with no deck required), drop-in (set into a custom deck or surround), and alcove (fitted between three walls, ideal for standard bathroom layouts). Each installation type is offered across Silver, Gold, and Platinum series tiers.

Air jetted bathtubs require a standard water supply and drain connection, plus a dedicated electrical circuit for the air pump motor. Platinum series models with multiple pumps, heated backrests, chromatherapy lighting, or heater systems may require additional electrical capacity. Hydro Massage Products recommends consulting a licensed plumber and electrician during installation to ensure all requirements are properly met.

Hydro Massage Products offers a Lifetime pump and tub warranty on qualifying models, particularly in the Platinum series. This reflects the company's confidence in its American manufacturing standards developed over 46 years. Warranty coverage details vary by series and model, so it is recommended to confirm specific terms when configuring your tub through the company's Build & Price tool or with a sales specialist.

Ask a different question than the spec sheet answers: can you comfortably sit in this bath for 30 minutes? Four things decide it. Water deep enough to cover your upper chest and shoulders so you do not get cold. Armrests placed so your elbows rest down and your hands rest up, instead of a high lip that puts tension in your neck. A back sloped between 115 and 130 degrees so you can lay back like a recliner rather than sitting almost upright. And enough length to stretch your legs out straight.

The shell is the surface you see, feel and stand on, and it is the most expensive component of a jetted bath. A thin shell with light reinforcement raises the risk of flexing floors and cracking over time, which is one reason some companies offer short warranties. Our baths use some of the thickest cast acrylic available, with up to 200-300% more reinforcing material and floors layered with fiberglass and wood.
