Hot Spring Efficiency
The difference lies in our multiple layers of high-density, polyurethane foam. In addition, our pumps and heater are designed to deliver maximum performance using minimum energy. And our warm air induction system captures heated air generated by the jet pump and directs it into the spa's water, slowing the water's cool down rate and saving energy. Once you own a Hot Spring spa, you'll really appreciate its lower operating costs.
Third party tests confirm that Hot Spring spas have extremely low energy costs.
How much will it cost to operate a Hot Spring spa? That depends on the model you own, the temperature you set, your frequency of use, the mean ambient temperature and the cost of electricity where you live. To get an idea, use the energy table below, or try our Online Energy Calculator. Both present actual, documented energy consumption of a mid-sized Hot Spring spa in heavy use, based on rigorous testing conducted by Exponent, Inc., the nation's leading independent scientific and engineering firm.
Remember, your actual cost will vary based upon the model you select and your usage pattern.

TOTALLY INSULATED TO LOCK IN PRECIOUS HEAT
Exclusive Insulated Cover — Each spa comes with a custom-fit cover that forms a tight seal. It's made of durable marine-grade vinyl with 2 or 1.5 lb foam insulation, and is tapered for water run-off. It features child-resistant safety locks and is UL Classified in accordance with ASTM safety standards.
Constant Heat — Driving innovation, Hot Spring Spas' energy saving features maintain the water at your desired temperature, eliminating expensive heating, cooling and filtration cycles.
IQ 2020TM Spa Control System
If a power outage should occur, no reprogramming is required. Just set it and forget it!
Want to calculate the estimated monthly cost to run a Hot Spring spa?
Superior Filtration — Our superior filtration system and optional EverFresh® water care system, featuring the highly effective FreshWater® III CD ozone generator, reduce the need to refill the spa and heat new water.
Efficient Jet Pump — Unlike oversized, high horsepower jet pumps used in many other brands, the single-speed Wavemaster® jet pump uses only the energy needed to deliver a powerful hydromassage experience.
Dedicated Circulation Pump — Our single-speed Silent Flo 5000® circulation pump ensures 24 hour filtration while using less energy to operate than a 75-watt light bulb.
Warm Air Induction System — A patented pump shroud captures heated air (110° - 130°) generated by the jet pump and directs it into the spa's water, slowing the water's cool down rate and saving energy.
L.E.D. Interior Light — Uses far less energy than a standard light bulb. In fact, many cities are converting their traffic signals to low-watt L.E.D. lights to conserve energy.
SmartJet® System — We provide a variety of massage options without oversized or multiple jet pumps. Simply turn on the jet system you want...and nothing more.
Hydraulically Efficient Plumbing — Our manifold plumbing system minimizes restrictions in the water flow, so less jet horsepower (and less energy) is required to deliver a strong feel at the jets.

* Based on a 115 volt Sovereign® spa set at 102°F used 6 times per week; 15 minutes with the jets on, 15 minutes with the jets off during each use. Testing conducted in a Controlled Environment Chamber using continuous Data Acquisition monitoring equipment including Continuous Progression Kilowatt Recording meters, Voltage Measurement probes, Current Measurement probes, Relative Humidity Chamber Measurement probes and Thermocouple probes. All equipment was rigorously calibrated to insure data accuracy.
** Based on rate quoted by the local utility company in December 2005. Rates subject to change – check with your local electricity provider for the current rate in your area.
