How Many Jets Do You Really Need? A Breakdown of Hot Tub Jet Configurations
By Aditya Rao
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.
