About Jacuzzi

The Jacuzzi brand started in bathrooms in the 1960's when Roy Jacuzzi invented the first whirlpool bath, but today it is much more. The brand is a market leader in luxury bathrooms which is why we selected it. The brand now offers beautifully shaped ceramic basins and wc pans, non-jetted soaking baths in all shaped and sizes and a range of shower enclosures and steam cabins all with the quality that meets the requirement to wear the Jacuzzi badge.

An independent specialist bathroom retailer has the choice of many manufacturers from which to select products and we chose the Jacuzzi brand to offer our customers. The product is based on quality and performance and needs to be seen which is why we display it in our showroom for you to view. Visit our showroom so we can advise on design, price and assist in a professional installation service. We will be here to follow up with aftercare and guarantees too!

HISTORY HIGHLIGHTS

Early 1900's

Around the turn of the century, seven Jacuzzi brothers emigrated to California from Italy.

1950s

In 1956, an idea was born. Why not treat a family member’s arthritis with a hydrotherapy pump. The Jacuzzi brothers invented a pump and a small niche business was born. The J-300, a portable pump, was sold to hospitals and schools.

1960s

This innovative spirit was captured by Roy Jacuzzi, a third generation family member who had begun learning the business as a teenager. Sensing the American consumers interest in health, fitness and leisure activities, Roy invented and marketed the first self-contained, fully integrated whirlpool bath in 1968. By incorporating jets into the sides of the tub, it became the bath that almost single-handedly created an industry.

1970s

As larger units were designed to accommodate more people, Jacuzzi incorporated heating and filtration systems to keep the water warm and clean, thus creating the first hot tub in 1970. The hot tub, unlike the whirlpool bath, could be used outside with this heating system. In 1979, the family sold the business to New York based Kidde Inc. All the family members left the business, except for Roy, who stayed on to run the Jacuzzi operations.

1990s

In 1990, Roy Jacuzzi was placed in the National Kitchen and Bath Hall of Fame in the USA, recognising him for his many contributions in the innovation of Hydrotherapy for home use.

2000

In 2001, the Jacuzzi bathroom brand was expanded in the UK to include sanitaryware, shower enclosures, furniture, brassware and accessories to offer a full bathroom collection.

TODAY

Jacuzzi has become the world's most recognised and largest selling brand of jetted whirlpool baths and hot tubs. In addition to the first whirlpool bath patent, Jacuzzi has 250 worldwide patents for advancements in pump systems, jet technology and product design. This ongoing commitment to innovative product development ensures its leadership position in the industry, and sets the standards the world over.
