Hot Tub Energy Tips in the Winter
- If possible, Deep Blue Pools and Spas recommends blocking any winter winds with some form of fencing or barrier in the vicinity of your hot tub.
- Make sure your cover is in good shape and sealing properly. If not, make sure you purchase another good quality cover for the upcoming winter. Deep Blue Pools and Spas recommends a ‘thermal blanket’ or ‘solar cover’ to keep evaporation to a minimum under your cover.
- It is imperative that you have adequate insulation inside your spa enclosure as well as the bottom and top perimeter. You should ensure there are no gaps where heat might escape. At Deep Blue Pools and Spas, we strongly suggest foil-faced bubble wrap which is readily available at most hardware stores. It is relatively easy to use and can be cut with standard scissors.
- If at all possible, Deep Blue Pools and Spas suggest that you strategically position your hot tub towards the South or where it is exposed to the sun to allow for the snow and ice to quickly melt on the spa cover.
- If your hot tub is equipped with a ‘night-rate’ meter, make sure you program your filter/heat cycles to run at night for substantial energy savings. Check to see if your hot tub controls have an ‘economy’ or ‘standby’ mode which will allow your hot tub to be 10-15 degrees cooler than your set temperature.
- At Deep Blue Pools and Spas, we encourage you to keep your tub away from drip edges due to ice and water falling on cover which will drops the temperatures increasing energy costs.
- Additionally, Deep Blue Pools and Spas recommends that you make sure all air controls and valves are set to OFF which will eliminate any cold air from pushing through your hot tub jets.
