I 100 Jets? that is a bit surprising as my "therapy seat" has 14 and I am not aware of more than 20 or so per seat max.

I guessed 100 but have a look for yourself. Their site says the tub can have 10 to 118 jets built into the Park Ave which is the exact one my folks have.

That certainly is a lot of jets.

My only question would be how many pumps and the power of the jets?

One pump pushing through all those jets would be quite a load.

Think of the jets as holes in a straw and you'll get the idea.

Is a lot of the power lost through so many jets?

If you're happy with the spa, that is the deciding factor. Personally, my back is trashed and very strong jets were a must and no other spa came close to the Jacuzzi and I tested nearly a dozen. If you are looking for a relaxing hottub, strong jets are not so important.

Jacuzzi uses 2 pumps with one dedicated exclusively to the therapy seat and to my knowlege, is the only company that does so.

I better get out of this thread now as my bias and stubborness is starting to show.

Shop around bro and make sure you take a soak before buying.

No idea how many pumps are on it or any of the technical stuff but I would imagine the site has the info. About the power....my dad built the hot tub it's own circuit panel. For the record he is an electrician so I have no clue whether or not this was needed. Their backyard has more lights and speakers than a U2 concert.

After looking at the picture of the lounger....my folks must have added more jets because they have at least 4 jets on the lounger (the pic only shows one jet at the other end). Enjoy the soak....that is the one thing I really do miss about my folks place and is the first thing I do when I go there.
