Are Hot Tubs Energy Efficient?

Many people around the world are concerned about energy consumption, as they should be.

Wasting too much energy is not only expensive, but it is also unsustainable and less environmentally conscious. It’s extremely beneficial for the health and well-being of our planet that we do everything in our power to make the most environmentally-conscious and “green” decisions.

Most of the major hot tubs manufacturers today go to great lengths to create models that are tailored to operate in the most effective way, while minimizing the consumption levels as much as possible.

Sundance® Spas is undoubtedly a leader in worldwide energy-efficient hot tub technology. Let’s find out how!

What are the Energy Efficient Components?

There are many energy efficient components specifically created for hot tubs.

1. Control System

One of the highest sources of energy consumption for any hot tub is certainly the control system, which is the device responsible for keeping the water hot and letting it settle at a constant temperature.

Energy-efficient thermostats, such as the ones integrated within Sundance® Spas products, will have intelligent set-ups that allow users to regulate the temperature of the water depending on factors like the surrounding conditions, how often they use the spa, when they will be going on vacation, and of course, which temperature is most comfortable.

All users have to do is set the control system to the eco-friendly mode, and they are all set!

2. Efficient Heating System

Sundance® Spas are designed with efficiency in mind. An energy-efficient heater is integrated into each and every Sundance® Spas model. This heater transfers heat to the water, thus increasing the thermal efficiency of the system, while resisting corrosion.

Thermal energy is the key to many energy efficient hot tub technologies. The heater utilizes a titanium coil that helps to directly heat the water, which helps to improve cost savings and reuse energy, as 100% of the heat produced is transferred directly to the spa water.

Once the water is heated, high-grade insulation helps to keep the heat where it needs to be.

3. Insulation

Sundance® Spas are highly-optimized in terms of insulation. They feature a full-foam insulation construction that covers many areas of the tub, including the floor, cabinet, and shell. This allows Sundance® Spas owners to enjoy a truly remarkable low-impact operation, saving money on their energy bills.

Many major manufacturers use insulation as a way to retain heat in the tub, therefore minimizing the workload on the thermostat and entire system. In short, insulation prevents heat from getting out of the pool and cool air from getting in, keeping the water temperature at a constant level for a prolonged period of time.

4. Accessories

To further optimize the performance of your hot tub, you can even consider installing some optional energy-efficient components, which will largely improve the eco-friendliness of your spa, and save you a few bucks in the process!

This could include:

• A high-quality SunStrong™ hot tub cover
• EcoWrap™
• LED lighting

Sundance® Spas hot tubs are designed to provide the best performance at optimal energy consumption levels. They are designed to guarantee efficient operations for many years to come, due to their clever engineering and innovative construction.

Monthly Operational Costs

The monthly operational costs might depend on a variety of factors, including the energy cost in your area, temperature, and efficiency of your hot tub. Energy-efficient hot tubs used regularly would most likely cost you less than a dollar a day in heating costs, averaging at about $20 to $25 per month.
