What Part of a Hot Tub Uses The Most Energy?

While every part of the hot tub contributes to its overall energy consumption, the heater draws more electricity than any other component. The hot tub heater is responsible for heating the water to your desired temperature, and this requires a significant amount of energy.  

Since you don’t want to turn off your heater, we’ve come up with a few tips to help you reduce your monthly energy bills.  

3 Tips for Reducing Hot Tub Energy Consumption 

1. Use a Hot Tub Cover: One of the most effective ways to reduce energy consumption is to use a hot tub cover. A cover helps to retain heat and prevent evaporation, reducing the need to heat the water and refill the water. Using a cover when the hot tub is not in use can reduce energy costs by hundreds of dollars a year.  
2. Lower the Temperature: Reducing the temperature of your hot tub by just a few degrees can help you save a surprising amount of energy. Lowering the temperature to 35°C can reduce energy consumption by up to 20%.  
3. Maintain Your Hot Tub: Proper maintenance is essential to keep your hot tub running efficiently. This includes regular cleaning, pump maintenance, checking the water chemistry, and keeping the filter clean. A well-maintained hot tub runs more efficiently and uses less energy.
