That certainly is a lot of jets.

My only question would be how many pumps and the power of the jets?

One pump pushing through all those jets would be quite a load.

Think of the jets as holes in a straw and you'll get the idea.

Is a lot of the power lost through so many jets?

If you're happy with the spa, that is the deciding factor. Personally, my back is trashed and very strong jets were a must and no other spa came close to the Jacuzzi and I tested nearly a dozen. If you are looking for a relaxing hottub, strong jets are not so important.

Jacuzzi uses 2 pumps with one dedicated exclusively to the therapy seat and to my knowlege, is the only company that does so.

I better get out of this thread now as my bias and stubborness is starting to show.

Shop around bro and make sure you take a soak before buying.
