How Many Jets Do You Really Need? A Breakdown of Hot Tub Jet Configurations

How Many Spa Jets Do You Really Need?

When comparing luxury spas, you'll notice one spec that varies wildly: the number of massage jets. But does more = better? Here's what you actually need to know when choosing your ideal spa configuration.

🌀 1. Air Jets vs. Water Jets—What's the Difference?

  • Water jets: Deliver pressurized massage to target muscle groups (Nova: 28 jets)
  • Air jets: Create a gentler bubble effect for circulation & surface relaxation (Nova: 14 nozzles)

Muse and Nova both offer a mix of both, for a balanced hydrotherapy experience.

🧠 2. It's About Placement—Not Just Quantity

Too many poorly positioned jets = wasted power. Good spas use:

  • Ergonomic seating with jets aligned to muscle zones
  • Separate jets for shoulders, lumbar, calves, and feet
  • Multi-zone controls to customize pressure per seat

Nova: 5 seating positions with varied jet configurations for different massage effects

Muse: Expansive 8-person seating with full-circle coverage

🛁 3. Multi-Pump Systems Improve Performance

A single pump can't handle 40+ jets effectively. Look for:

  • Multiple speed pumps (Muse: 2)
  • Dedicated air massage or relaxation pumps (Nova: Relax Impact 1,150W)
  • Separate recirculation pump to maintain water clarity without interrupting use

🎯 4. Consider Your Goals

Goal Ideal Setup
Deep tissue relief Fewer, more powerful water jets
Light, bubbly massage More air jets (gentle, full-body sensation)
Full-body recovery Multi-zone seating like Muse or Nova
Entertainment Multiple jet types with adjustable power

✅ So… How Many Jets Do You Really Need?

There's no perfect number. Instead, focus on:

  • Ergonomic seating
  • Jet variety and adjustability
  • Strong pump performance
  • Quality over quantity

Casa Blui Spas Offer:

  • Muse: 42 jets, 8 seats, 2 pumps
  • Nova: 28 jets + 14 air nozzles, 5 seats, ergonomic design

Every jet is purposefully placed—not just packed in.
