HOT TUB ENERGY SAVING TIPS

To have the most energy efficient hot tubs, it requires making good use of the laws of thermodynamics. That might sound complicated, but you don’t have to be a physics professor to save money on heating your spa.

All it takes is a little knowledge and help from Emerald Spas and Billiards to help you select an energy-saving, eco-friendly spa. Not only that, but we can also show you how to make an older tub more energy efficient.

Save Your Electricity – Hot Tubs are a Luxury You Can Afford!

There’s nothing better than slipping into a hot tub at the end of a long day. Keeping it hot and ready, however, can take a toll on a home’s power bill. These easy tips can help hot tub owners save electricity and money.

Invest in a Good Spa Cover

Heat rises, and this needs to be taken into account when purchasing a cover for a jacuzzi. Most heat is lost through the top of the tub. A poorly insulated top will create a pathway for energy to escape, requiring the heater to work harder to maintain a set temperature. Invest in a thick, double insulated cover with a waterproof underside for maximum effectiveness and longevity.

Use a Floating Thermal Blanket

Even with a good lid on top, heat will be lost through evaporation in the narrow pocket of air between the water’s surface and the underside of the cover. Floating thermal blankets resemble extra-strength bubble wrap and are designed to combat this loss of heat energy. As a bonus, they also extend the life of spa covers by reducing moisture.

Plan Ahead to Save

The surest way to cut down on energy use with a hot tub is to only keep it hot when needed. Much like a heater or air conditioner inside the house, resetting the temperature when away can lead to big savings. If a jacuzzi is only in use on the weekends, for example, try setting it to 75 degrees during the week. The less heat the tub puts out, the less electricity it uses.
