What is Jacuzzi® SmartTub™?

SmartTub™ is an optional upgrade that allows you to fully and remotely control your spa from your device.

When the SmartTub™ hardware and app are connected, you will be able to:

  • Adjust the temperature of the spa water
  • Control spa jets and lighting
  • Control and monitor energy output (when and how often you run the heating and filtration cycle)
  • Access to information, tips, and videos to enable you to become an expert at operating your spa
  • Receive notifications about power outages, issues and how to resolve them, as well as energy estimates
