The history of hot tubs allegedly dates back 2500 years, when the Greeks enjoyed a hot bath in the volcano craters. Later people started to imitate volcanic craters and started heating water with hot stones.

Also in the Old Rome, hot bath or hot tub was popular. Even to the extent that the legionnaires who went to foreign countries to conquer could not wait to get home and built themselves hot tubs. That is also how hot tubs spread to Central Europe.

Some, however, think that the origin of hot tubs comes from Japan, where the local people wanted to bathe in hot water, as the monkeys did. In a volcanically active area, as Japan is, nature offers many opportunities to bathe in hot water.

The first spa complex was founded in Japan. It is known to have been opened in the year 705. They offered accommodation, opportunity to bathe in a hot tub and also catering. Even back then the hot tub was not just a place for washing, but rather a place for relaxation. The Japanese were likely to be the first to produce a wooden bath (ofuro), which can be considered as a direct precursor to a modern bath and tub.

Hot tubs were made famous by Italian brothers Jacuzzis, who in 1915 started producing wood propellers. Later, they also made a few wooden planes, but due to customer feedback that was not very positive (after crashing one plane, where the pilot and 2 company employees were killed), their production was stopped. Due to the uneasiness of the Italians, the surviving 6 brothers were unable to sit in their arms and started to work on different things. From the production of agricultural pumps, the brothers eventually got to the point where they started to produce Jacuzzis.

Today, in addition to Jacuzzis, the company is also engaged in bathroom furnishings, swimming pools and so on. In addition to the Jacuzzi family, the company has about 5,000 employees and a turnover of nearly 2 billion dollars.
