Maximizing Energy Efficiency

HOW TO REDUCE HOT TUB OPERATING COSTS THIS WINTER

Enjoy Your Hot Tub Without Breaking the Bank

Winter is the perfect time to relax in a hot tub, but for many, energy costs are a concern. At Emerald Spa & Billiards, we believe in providing not just luxury hot tubs but also the knowledge and tools to keep them running efficiently. These tips will help you enjoy your spa all winter long while keeping operating costs in check.

Insulation: Retaining Heat for Maximum Efficiency

Why It Matters: Proper insulation is key to reducing heat loss, especially in colder climates like Michigan.

Tips for Better Insulation:

Ensure your hot tub is well-insulated, particularly around the cabinet and plumbing.
Add a thermal blanket under the cover to create an extra layer of heat retention.

Emerald’s Commitment: Artesian Spas are designed with premium insulation to maintain optimal efficiency, even in freezing temperatures.

The Importance of a High-Quality Cover

Why It Matters: A hot tub cover prevents heat from escaping and keeps out debris that could affect water quality.

What to Look For in a Cover:

A snug fit to avoid gaps where heat can escape.
Durable, weather-resistant materials to withstand Michigan winters.

Included with Every Emerald Hot Tub: Every hot tub purchased from Emerald Spa & Billiards comes with a high-quality cover to ensure safety and energy efficiency.

Smart Temperature Management

Optimal Temperature Settings:

Lower the temperature slightly when the hot tub is not in use—every degree matters.
Maintain a consistent temperature rather than heating up and cooling down frequently, which uses more energy.

Energy-Saving Mode: Many Artesian Spas feature energy-saving settings to optimize performance without compromising comfort.

Regular Maintenance for Maximum Efficiency

Clean Filters Regularly: A clean filter allows water to circulate freely, reducing strain on the pump and heater.

Chemical Balance: Proper water chemistry ensures your hot tub operates efficiently and reduces wear on components.

Emerald offers Mineral Harmony chemicals to fight cloudy water and keep your spa running smoothly.

Emerald’s Free Water Testing: Bring in a sample for free water testing at our Grand Rapids location to keep your water crystal clear.

Winter-Ready Upgrades

Consider These Add-Ons:

Energy-Efficient Pumps and Heaters: Reduce electricity usage with newer, more efficient models.
Windbreaks or Enclosures: Protect your hot tub from wind exposure, which can lower its efficiency.

Free Local Delivery and Setup: Emerald ensures your hot tub is installed correctly and ready to perform at its best.
