Aqualap™ Extreme™ model shown

The Aqualap™ features variety of jets perfect for relaxing hydrotherapy massage after your aqua fitness session.

Jet Types

This model features eight different types of jets perfect for targeted hydrotherapy and soothing tired muscles after swimmng against the jets.

150mm Swim Jet

The 150mm swim jets create a current strong enough to swim against. You can even personalise your work out by adjusting the pressure on each jet individually.

127mm Directional Jet

The 127mm directional jets provide an intense, pressure point massage. These are particularly effective at treating knotted muscles in the back.

127mm Single Spinning Jets

This large single spinner gives a rotating massage effect similar to a masseuse using their thumb in a kneading fashion. They provide a very effective back massage.

75mm Directional Jet

This style of directional jets gives a targeted but less intense pressure point massage. It's very effective for a more prolonged treatment of tired muscles.

75mm Single Spinning Jet

The 75mm single spinning jets offer a similar effect as the larger 127mm variety but given their smaller size, the kneading effect is lighter and more focused.

50mm Directional Jet

These jets are usually used in banks of 8 or more jets and are often coupled with 50mm twin spinners to give a shiatsu style pressure point massage therapy.

50mm Twin Spinning Jet

The 50mm twin spinner offers a pulsating massage effect ideally suited for neck and shoulder therapy or as part of a shiatsu style massages treatment when teamed with 50mm directional jets.

40mm Air Jet

As the name implies, the 40mm air jets emit an air stream as opposed to a water stream. These are almost always used under the legs and buttocks to provide a relaxing soft tissue massage treatment.
