One thing’s for certain about owning a hot tub: you want your spa to be hot and ready for your enjoyment. But without mindfulness and observation, keeping tabs on your hot tub temperature can be an energy waster. So, how can you conserve energy while keeping your hot tub hot? Read on for four ways you can be energy efficient while enjoying your Hot Spring® spa.
Check Your Spa Cover
It’s an understatement to say that the condition and quality of your spa cover is important. The purpose of a spa cover is to protect your hot tub from any outside debris while also providing insulation. If your spa cover is made of lower grade material, is cracking, or is advanced in age, you should consider upgrading to a new one. This prevents unnecessary work and energy expenditure from heating and cleaning your hot tub. If you find your cover is in need of replacing, contact us today. We will help you find a cover that will increase your hot tub enjoyment while decreasing its energy needs.
Consider a Hot Spring Cover Lifter
While a hot tub cover lifter does not directly impact the energy spent in your hot tub, it does prevent wear and tear on your hot tub cover. This increases the life and efficiency of your hot tub cover and ultimately decrease your hot tub’s energy needs. At Texas Hot Tub Company, we offer several Hot Spring cover lifters that will meet your needs and promote energy efficiency in the long run.
Water and Filter Care
Whether you’re a lifelong spa owner or new to the hot tub world, you are without a doubt aware of the importance of water and filter management. Proper care not only increases the energy efficiency of your hot tub, but also extends its life. The harder your filter has to work, the more energy is needed to properly clean the water. To avoid this energy sap, regularly take measures to clean and care for the water and filter. There are many excellent Hot Spring compatible water and filter care products that can help you care for your hot tub. Contact us to learn more about the various ways you can care for your water and filter.
Find the Right Temperature
Water temperature is a key component to enjoying your hot tub. Don’t be afraid to play around with the temperature to determine the exact degree you find most enjoyable while still being energy efficient. Lowering your hot tub temperature by even a single degree significantly decreases energy use.
Reducing energy waste is good for your hot tub, good for your wallet, and good for the planet. There are many ways to conserve energy as a hot tub owner, including using energy efficient equipment like covers and lifters, proper year round water and filter maintenance, and temperature management.
