History of National Hot Tub Day

Early Egyptians may have taken hot therapeutic baths some 4,000 years ago, according to archaeological evidence. In 600 B.C., King Phraortes of ancient Persia had a hot tub chiseled out of solid granite for him. Plato, Homer, and Hippocrates, three of Greece’s greatest thinkers, all believed in the medicinal properties of hot water. Water springs drew people together for social gatherings and other activities in the form of elaborate constructions.

And then there was Rome. The imperial leaders there were even more extravagant than those who came before them and built massive spas to match. Many of these facilities were built to aid the recuperation of exhausted legionnaires who had suffered wartime injuries and illnesses.
The name ‘Sanus Per Aquam,’ which means ‘health through water,’ is the origin of the acronym for the term spa. Sports stadiums, spas, massage parlors, and eateries were common features of Roman spas.

California is considered to have been the birthplace of the first modern home spas, starting in 1958, which were commonly constructed out of old redwood vats and disused wine barrels. When it came to hot tubs, water cleanliness and filtration systems weren’t exactly high on the list of priorities during the swinging sixties. As a result, wood was used as a building component that failed to keep water out and was a breeding ground for disease-causing germs, mildew, algae, and slime. In the late 1970s, fiberglass shell hot tubs were introduced, which quickly replaced cast acrylic tubs. For owners, this made maintaining water cleanliness a lot easier, while manufacturers could start developing pumps, filters, control systems, and jets out of the pliable and adaptable plastic. It wasn’t until an Italian migrant’s labor that hot tub design took a turn for the better.

Candido Jacuzzi, an aircraft engineer, developed a whirlpool bath for his son Ken, who was suffering from rheumatoid arthritis a few decades before. Jacuzzi became synonymous with hot tubs after a third-generation family member, Roy Jacuzzi, created and commercialized the first self-contained and completely integrated whirlpool spa.
