The tale of the Jacuzzi company begins in the early 1900s when the Jacuzzi brothers immigrated to California from Italy. Initially, the brothers made strides in aviation by inventing the first enclosed cabin, high-wing monoplane, which carried mail for the U.S. postal service as well as passengers. Incorporating their hydraulic insight, the Jacuzzi Brothers later made great advancements in the agricultural pump industry, which proved to be a mainstay for the company even today.
Hydrotherapy became a reality in 1956 with the introduction of the J-300, a portable whirlpool pump that was placed free-standing in a bathtub. Initial applications were primarily medical. Then in 1968, Roy Jacuzzi invented and marketed the first self-contained, fully integrated whirlpool bath by incorporating jets into the sides of the tub. A new industry and era of whirlpool bathing pleasure was born.
