Jacuzzi hot tub energy saving tips

A Hot Tub Spa is a multifunctional spa leisure equipment, and its main functions include hydromassage, constant temperature heating, circulation filtration, etc. These functions require electricity to achieve, and the main power-consuming components include heaters, water pumps, air pumps, circulation pumps, etc. However, pumps are generally turned on when users use Hot Tubs, so they do not consume too much electricity. The heater of a Hot Tub is generally 3kw-6kw, and it takes a lot of electricity to heat hundreds or thousands of liters of water in the initial heating stage. Therefore, the main power-consuming component of a hot tub spa is the heater, so what are the power-saving tips for the heater? This blog will introduce them to you.

Don’t turn off the heater if you use the hot tub frequently

As we know above, the heater consumes more electricity in the initial stage of heating the cold water. Therefore, if the user needs to use the hot tub spa every day, it is most energy-efficient to keep the hot tub spa in a constant temperature heating state. When the water temperature reaches the required temperature, the heater stops running and will not consume energy. Even if the water temperature drops, the heater needs to start heating, which will only consume a small amount of electricity. However, if you keep reheating the cold water every day, especially when the temperature is cold outdoors and the water temperature is extremely cold, this will consume a lot of electricity. However, this method is only applicable to the case of frequent use of the hot tub spa. If it is not used frequently, you still need to turn off the heater.

Cover the insulation cover

For hot tubs, insulation covers are extremely useful. If used properly, they can greatly improve the user experience. Insulation and energy saving are one of them. When the jacuzzi hot tub is idle, covering it with an insulation cover can greatly reduce heat loss and keep the water temperature constant, thereby reducing the operating frequency of the heater and reducing electricity consumption.

Place in the right location

Generally speaking, outdoor hot tubs consume more energy than indoor ones. For example in winter, the outdoor temperature is lower than the indoor temperature. If there is wind, it will also take away some heat, causing the water temperature in the tub to drop faster. Therefore, outdoor hot tubs can be placed against the wall or a screen can be placed near the tub.

Choose a jacuzzi hot tub with good thermal insulation performance

From the above points, we know that good thermal insulation and reducing heat loss are the keys to energy saving. Therefore, when purchasing a hot tub, users should choose jacuzzi hot tubs with good thermal insulation performance. Generally, manufacturers will cover the spa body with a layer of thermal insulation foam. When purchasing, you can pay attention to whether the hot tub you are about to buy has this layer of thermal insulation layer, and also pay attention to its thickness and density.

Install a heat pump

We all know that hot tubs rely on heaters to heat water and consume one kilowatt-hour of electricity to generate one kilowatt-hour of heat. Heat pumps, on the other hand, use the "reverse Carnot principle" to move heat from the air, and consume one kilowatt-hour of electricity to generate three to four kilowatt-hours of heat, which saves energy and shortens the heating time.
