The Role of Pumps and Jets in Aahs Spas

All Models Use an Ozone Sanitizer

Ozone is 200 times stronger than chlorine and works instantly to destroy bacteria, viruses, oils, cosmetics, and even dissolved metals. By harnessing a simple oxygen reaction, it sanitizes your spa water without harsh chemicals or harmful byproducts, leaving behind only pure oxygen.

With ozone, you’ll enjoy:

• Cleaner, clearer water with less chemical use

• Powerful protection against tough microorganisms like E.coli, Salmonella, and MRSA

• Lower costs by reducing chemical purchases and storage

• Eco-friendly peace of mind—nothing left behind but oxygen

Ozone is safe, strong, and environmentally friendly. It’s the smarter way to keep your spa fresh and inviting.

The 1/15 hp Waterway Iron Might Circulation Pump

Available on most models, this pump from Waterway works quietly and efficiently behind the scenes to keep your spa water fresh and inviting. While the larger, more powerful pumps provide the strong massage you love, this compact circulation pump runs continuously to move water through the filtration system.

By relying on a small, energy-efficient pump for everyday circulation instead of the big massage pumps, you enjoy several advantages:

• Lower energy costs. The smaller motor uses far less electricity.

• Quieter operation. Get continuous circulation without the noise.

• Cleaner water. A steady flow improves filtration and sanitation.

It’s one of those thoughtful details that makes your spa easier to maintain, more affordable to operate, and always ready when you are.

How Many Pumps Should You Get?

A single pump system is ideal for smaller spas or for those who prefer a gentler massage experience. With one pump, you can still enjoy an impressive number of jets, but the power is balanced across the system. For customers who want relaxation without the intensity of multiple motors, a single pump spa offers the perfect fit of a high-powered massage.

Aahs Spas designs single pump systems to efficiently handle up to a practical maximum of jets without straining the system. And because our spas are crafted right here in Hillsboro, Kansas, you know each component is built with Midwestern durability and attention to detail.

Two Pump Systems

Two pumps provide more motors for more jets, and are often a good upgrade for mid-sized spas . With double the power, these spas can manage a higher jet count and deliver a stronger massage experience. This system is ideal for couples or families who want selectable simultaneous therapy zones—one person can enjoy a reclined lounger while another relaxes in a deep seat, each receiving consistent jet performance.

Three Pump Systems

For the ultimate in hydrotherapy, three pump spas bring maximum power and performance. These systems can support the largest jet counts, creating multiple therapy zones. If you want every muscle group targeted with therapeutic intensity, a three-pump spa is your best choice.

Max Jets with 3 Pumps:
Three pumps allow for our highest jet capacity and full customization options, giving you a professional-grade hydrotherapy experience at home, and perfect when you want a lot of power in a larger model.

How Aahs Spas Counts Jets Differently

When comparing spas, you’ll often see other companies advertise high jet numbers. What they don’t tell you is that they’re counting the number of orifices, each tiny stream of water from a jet face. A single jet body may have three or even fourteen orifices, so the “jet count” can be misleading.

At Aahs Spas, we count jets by jet body, not by orifices. This gives you an honest and transparent understanding of your spa’s power and capacity. Our Kansas-built spas reflect the same integrity and straightforwardness that defines our state.
