With the cost of living on the rise, enjoying life’s little luxuries, like a relaxing soak in your tub, shouldn’t become a strain on the wallet. The good news? There are simple and effective ways to save on those hot tub running costs.
Let’s explore how you can make the most of your tub without hurting your wallet.
Ways to Reduce Hot Tub Running Costs
- Try a Lower Temperature: We all like a steamy soak, but even a small temperature dip can lead to significant savings over time. Turn your temperature down by just 1 degree for a noticeable difference in your running costs.
- Keep Filters Clean: A clean filter means a more efficient tub. Regular maintenance will keep your tub running smoothly and your costs down.
- Opt for a Less Exposed Location: If your hot tub’s battling the elements, it’s burning more energy. The more exposed a hot tub is to the elements, the more it will cost to run. A sheltered spot helps reduce heat loss from the sides or top of the hot tub.
- Roll Out a Hot Tub Floor Mat: Many hot tubs sit on cold stone surfaces, like concrete or slabs, which aren’t great for heat retention. A floor mat acts as a barrier, helping keep your tub warm and toasty.
- Use a SUPA Hot Tub Heater: It should come as no surprise that ALL hot tubs can use a lot of energy. Making the switch to a propane fuelled hot tub heater, like SUPA, can be a game-changer in efficiency and cost savings.
