Why HP and jet count should be evaluated together

Motor power (HP) determines pump flow and jet pressure; jet count shows how that flow is distributed. With the same HP, more jets can reduce per-jet pressure. On Kuntbay Jacuzzi models, jet layout and motor selection are optimized together.

Buying checklist

  • Jet count alone is not a quality indicator; read motor HP and pump flow together.
  • Stainless steel jet nozzles and service accessibility determine long-term performance.
  • Heater power (kW) requires a separate circuit; total electrical load should be calculated at survey stage.
  • If blower jets are added, air motor power must be included in total load calculation.
