Hot Tub Buying Tip – Energy Efficiency – Insulation
We are all conscious of our environment and our resources. When considering a spa for your backyard you should take into account the operating cost. Full-foam spas from Sundance and Jacuzzi offer considerably lower monthly average electric consumption over low-cost, discount hot tubs. This energy saving approach is accomplished three ways. First, the innovative three-layer “Rigid Bond” shell construction retains the heat with unequaled thermal integrity. Secondly, the spa shell is the insulated in a two step process. A high-density, heat-resistant foam encapsulates the immediate shell and plumbing, then a second application of lighter density foam insulates the remainder of the area. Finally, a thick insulating cover is included with every spa. With an R-value of 13.5, each foam-filled cover is designed to ensure heat retention.
