How do you make a hot tub more energy efficient?

Use a hot tub cover

Using a hot tub cover can help to retain heat and reduce the amount of energy needed to maintain the desired water temperature. If your hot tub cover has any rips or is heavy to lift due to water absorption, then it would be best to get a new hot tub cover.

Adjust the temperature settings

When the hot tub is not in use, lower the temperature settings to save energy.

Use the filter timer

Use a timer to control the usage of the hot tub, so it doesn’t operate unnecessarily.

Hot tub upgrade

If you have an old hot tub it may be more economical to buy an energy-efficient hot tub – with features such as high-efficiency heaters, pumps, and insulation – rather than upgrading the equipment.

Maintain the hot tub regularly

Regularly maintaining your hot tub can help to ensure that it is running at peak efficiency and can help to identify and fix any problems that may be causing energy inefficiencies.

Check water levels and chemistry

Maintaining proper water levels and chemistry in your hot tub can help to reduce the amount of energy needed to heat the water.

Use a solar blanket

Use a hot tub solar blanket can help to retain heat and reduce the amount of energy needed to maintain the desired water temperature.

In conclusion

By implementing these energy-saving measures, you can significantly reduce the cost of operating your hot tub and enjoy it all year round!
