Insulation

One of the most significant benefits of a properly insulated hot tub is to keep the heat in as much as possible and to do this you need a good insulated hot tub cover which normally come with your tub, next is to make sure that the shell of the hot tub has a spray -on insulation coating about 25mm+cover, also the side skirts should be insulated and if all these 3 items are in place you have a good standard to help prevent heat loss which in turn will keep the running expense down.

Fit your hot tub with an energy-saving heat pump

Air Source Heat Pumps are an extremely efficient heating system option for Hot Tubs. They can provide up to three times more heat than traditional heating methods and are incredibly energy efficient. This results in lower electricity costs to heat your Hot Tub by up to - 65%, also when getting a heat pump for your hot tub make sure that it has enough KW to heat efficiently the volume of water in your hot tub. ie: a 5-person hot tub has about 1100 liters of water in it and we would recommend a 9.5 kw heat pump for this volume.
