Energy Efficient Spas

Spas are wonderful. Big electric bills are not. Here are couple factors that can make your spa more energy efficient.
  1. Better insulation
  2. Fluorescent light bulds
  3. Computer sensors
  4. Controls for heating and humidity
Insulation is one of the most important aspects to consider when purchasing a hot tub. The hot tub's design and construction will most determine the cost of operation. Two hot tubs holding the same amount of water, in the same placed , used identically could have drastically different operating cost. No matter what type of insulation is used, as long as some form or method is employed, it will assist in reducing the operating cost of the spa.By incorporating insulation into the spa structure, the manufacturer is reducing the time it takes for the water temperature to pass from the body of water to the outside environment. By effectively doing so, the time that it takes to heat and maintain water temperature is reduced and in return, the cost to heat is also reduced.
