For years, hot tub ownership came with a long list of to-dos: test the water 2–3 times a week, balance pH and alkalinity, adjust calcium hardness, add shock, rinse off after every soak… you get the idea.

But now? That checklist just got a whole lot shorter.

Thanks to True Water™—a next-generation water purification system available in Jacuzzi® hot tubs—hot tub maintenance has officially entered the future. With technology so advanced it’s been used by NASA and powerful enough to clean entire lakes, True Water™ makes owning a hot tub as easy as it should be.

If you’ve ever hesitated to buy a hot tub because of the work involved, keep reading. This changes everything.

What Is the True Water™ System?

True Water™ is a revolutionary water purification system that uses oxygen-filled nanobubble technology to deep-clean spa water—without relying on harsh chemicals like chlorine. These nanobubbles are 5,000 times smaller than a grain of sand and scrub the water at a molecular level.

The result? Water so clean it’s drinkable. (Really. It’s cleaner than most tap water—and 99.9999% chlorine-free.)

How It Works (and Why It’s So Different)

Traditional hot tubs require chemical balancing, shock treatments, and near-constant attention to pH, alkalinity, and calcium levels. But with True Water™, all of that goes out the window.

Here’s what makes it different:

  • Trillions of nanobubbles are released into your spa water, oxygenating it continuously.
  • They remove 99.9% of bacteria and viruses while cleaning every surface the water touches.
  • No chemical irritation—the water is gentle on skin, doesn’t smell like chlorine, and doesn’t require rinsing after use.
  • Murky or cloudy water? Nanobubbles can clear it up in just a few hours—even if it’s been neglected.

And the best part? Total monthly maintenance takes just 15 minutes.

A Real-World Example: This Tech Cleaned an Entire Lake

Still wondering how powerful nanobubbles really are? Just ask the City of Lake Elsinore, CA.

For years, this California lake was so full of algae and contaminants that boating, swimming, and water sports were nearly impossible. Then came nanobubble technology—the same tech used in True Water™.

After installation, the lake’s water quality was fully restored. The ecosystem balanced itself out, and now the water is clean and safe for both people and wildlife to enjoy again.

If nanobubbles can clean a lake, imagine what they can do for your hot tub.
