Hot Tub Innovators Revolutionized an Industry

Jacuzzi trivia anyone?

Question: What did the Jacuzzi brothers invent that earned them a gold medal at the California State Fair in 1930?

Answer: The Jacuzzi brothers received a Gold Medal Award for their invention – a new type of pump that drew water out of the ground more efficiently than any pump that came before it. They successfully revolutionized hydraulic pumps used for agriculture.

By the 1950s, the Jacuzzi brothers utilized their expertise in hydraulics to benefit a young family member stricken with painful rheumatoid arthritis. They created an aerating pump designed to be submerged in a bathtub to provide pain-relieving hydrotherapeutic treatments.

Question: What is the name of this portable pump?

Answer: The J-300™ turned normal bath tubs into relaxing and rejuvenating hydro-therapeutic home spas. The idea started a niche market and Jacuzzi became a household name.

To many people, the Jacuzzi brand is synonymous with portable hot tubs. With their ingenious methods of moving water with water, the Jacuzzi brothers revolutionized the pump industry and provided the foundation for the jet pump industry in today’s portable hot tubs.

Jacuzzi® J-365™ Spa Drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers for Training

According to the Nielsen Co., an estimated 111 million people tuned in to watch the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 6, 2011. I enjoyed the game plopped in front of the television on the couch with my husband, daughter and large pizza. I had no particular favorite team. I was just hoping it was a close game to retain my interest and of course I looked forward to the halftime show and commercials. Whether you rooted for the Green Bay Packers or the Pittsburgh Steelers, many of you who were watching the Super Bowl this weekend will agree it was quite an exciting game. For Doug Carlson, Authorized Jacuzzi Hot Tubs dealer located in Dallas, TX, this year’s Super Bowl was a memorable and extraordinary event. Doug was not one of the 111 million people who tuned in to watch the Super Bowl from the boob tube. He and his wife were two out of over 100,000 eager fans who watched the game live at Cowboys Stadium! Mr. Carlson cheered for the Pittsburgh Steelers while his wife sat next to him and cheered on the Green Bay Packers. The couple enjoyed mezzanine level tickets provided by Ken Fiore, Director of Player Personnel for the NFL.
