Choose an Energy-Efficient Hot Tub and Save Big
Whether stress reduction or entertainment is your goal, energy efficiency is one of the most important features in a hot tub. Energy efficiency can vary greatly between brands and models, so you'll need to be a skilled investigator to find the features that will help you save money.
This blog will teach you how to identify an energy efficient hot tub that is right for your lifestyle.
Save Energy with Self-Cleaning Hot Tubs
The most efficient hot tubs filter all of the water quickly, so you'll want to do your research on how long it takes the hot tub in question to filter. As an example, a Hydroppol hot tub can completely filter its water in just 15 minutes. Because of the high filtration rate, Hydropool is an energy efficient choice.
Invest in a Heat Shield Hard Cover
When you invest in a quality hard cover that retains high levels of heat, you'll always save energy and money. Seek out hard covers that are durable and designed to retain heat and prevent cold from seeping in. Tapered designs, hard covers that lock, and insulated baffles near folds will offer superior heat retention and keep your water hot for extended periods.
Choose a Heat-Reflecting Insulated Thermal Shield Blanket
There are many areas where hot tubs can lose heat including piping, cabinets, and floors, but an energy-efficient hot tub will utilize the latest technologies to lock heat in. Hydropool uses NASA-inspired technology in its Triple Thermal Shield Blanket to reflect heat back into the hot tub. When you truly want the highest level of energy efficiency, look for advanced features such as these.
Select Energy Efficient Pumps
Hot tub pumps can use a lot of energy, but those that are designed to achieve a high flow rate while providing a low energy output will help you save. Efficient pumps, such as those made by Hydropool, will improve your efficiency by over 25%. when compared to other pumps.
Adjustable Venting For Extra Efficiency
For a hot tub to be efficient, it needs to have the ability to reflect any waste heat from the water pump back into its cavity. Energy efficiency can also be improved throughout the year by vents. For the best energy efficiency in these areas, look for technologies like Hydropool's Triple Thermal Shield blanket and Hydrowise thermal vents.
Purchase a Hot Tub that Exceeds CEC Regulations
California Energy Commission (CEC) approval is the gold standard for energy efficient hot tubs. Because of stringent CEC guidelines, you'll know that a hot tub approved by this organization is among the most efficient available. Hydropool was one of the very first CEC approved hot tubs and we've been striving to provide superior energy efficiency ever since. Because of superior innovations, it will cost you just a few cents a day to keep your hot tub at 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
