  • Candido Jacuzzi was an Italian immigrant to the United States of America. He is sometimes claimed to be the co-inventor of the Jacuzzi whirlpool bath . It is claimed that because his 15-month-old son had rheumatoid arthritis, he developed a pump that enabled a whirlpool to be created in a bath, as a hydrotherapeutic device in the relief of pain. Other sites including the Jacuzzi corporate web site instead credit Roy Jacuzzi with the invention. If you refer to original patents, it clearly states that Candido Jacuzzi, [Roy's Jacuzzi, his Dad's bother > Candido Jacuzzi] is/was the inventor for the Jacuzzi Whirpool (invented for his son, Kenny Jacuzzi, who was born with a crippling disease - rheumatoid arthritis. ) The patent for the first portable Jacuzzi was filed in 1963, Patent # 3,159,849 and also for the first self-contain Jacuzzi Whirlpool filed in 1964 and marketed in 1968 as the first Hydrotherapy Tub patente4d #3,297,025 inventor Candido Jacuzzi yet Roy is getting this credibility. However, after Jacuzzi was bought out in the late 1970's by Kiddie, they hired Roy (young in his 20's to remain with the last name Jacuzzi and in time he became President). During this time, the Jacuzzi's company website and history of who invented the whirlpool was modified, changed and Roy Jacuzzi started to earn this creditability as the inventor. After 30 years, and new President in charge, the original patent #3,297,025 was sent (certified) to Jacuzzi Corporation in Chino CA. However, Jacuzzi Corporation would not discuss this issue,(return calls) correct the website history that the inventor for the Jacuzzi Whirlpool was in truth, Candido Jacuzzi. Roy Jacuzzi remains on the Board of Directors to this date, 2009.
