The number of jets in a hot tub determines how much water flow is needed from the pump. Although we make hot tubs with up to 55 jets, we recommend around thirty five reasonably sized jets is adequate for all occupants to have a therapeutic session. Jet counts in excess of 55 jets give rise to more horse power, less efficient pumps, which inevitably increases the cost of operating the spa. If a spa with more than thirty jets is not adequately powered the result will be low pressure, leading to inadequate water flow, resulting in weak jet performance. Be aware of being misled over jet counts, a jet may have one orifice or up to ten orifices. Jet count means actual jets not the number of holes within each jet. For instance a hot tub with one hundred orifices in fact may only be ten jets each with ten orifices. At H2O spas we count numbers of jets, so in our spa line up, a hot tub with thirty jets, will have thirty separate molded jets.The pump size is ratioed to the number of jets not ori
