Hey hot tub enthusiasts! We know you love your hot tub and want to keep it running smoothly without breaking the bank. With rising energy costs, it’s time to get smart about how you use and maintain your hot tub. Here are some fun and easy tips to make your hot tub more energy efficient while still enjoying those soothing bubbles!
1. Turn Down the Temperature
You don’t need to keep your hot tub at a toasty 104°F all the time. Dropping the temperature by just 1 or 2 degrees can lead to noticeable savings. It’s like turning down the thermostat at home—comfort without the extra cost!
2. Check the Condition of Your Hot Tub Cover
Is your hot tub cover looking a little worse for wear? Covers generally last around 5 years. A well-insulated, newer cover will keep the heat in and the cold out. If lifting your cover feels like a workout, consider investing in a cover lifter. It makes covering and uncovering your hot tub a breeze and helps your cover last longer.
3. Insulate Your Hot Tub Cabinet
Extra insulation can make a big difference in keeping your hot tub energy efficient. Depending on your hot tub model, there are various insulation options available. This extra layer helps retain heat and reduces the workload on your heater. Our friendly team can help you choose and install the best option for your hot tub.
4. Keep Your Hot Tub Filters Clean
Clean filters are crucial for an efficient hot tub. Aim to clean them at least every two weeks, especially if you use your hot tub frequently. Clean filters help the system run more efficiently and use less energy. Think of it as a spa day for your hot tub!
5. Turn Off the Air Valve
Got an air valve for your jets? Make sure to turn it off when not in use. This little adjustment can help save energy by reducing the amount of air being pumped into the water.
6. Check Your Filter Cycle Settings
Set your filter cycle to 2 x 2-hour filtration sessions. This balances keeping the water clean while managing energy use. Adjustments might be needed depending on how often you use your hot tub.
