Just as important as finding where to find a hot tub dealer, is what to look for when purchasing a hot tub. Knowing what you are looking for will help you deal with shark-like dealers and sales men.

Since most hot tubs require North Americans to adapt to the rest of the world by installing a 220 volt outlet or higher, hot tub installation bills can really add up. There are lower voltage hot tubs that run on normal household outlets (110-125 volts), however these are not recommended for climates that experience freezing temperatures throughout the year. Should your hot tub not have enough juice to stay heated you’ll be sitting in a cold tub rather quickly, and should your tub freeze over it would permanently damage the internal piping and components.
The average hot tub used throughout the year requires $250 in electricity, that’s 2,514 kWh per year at 10 cents per kWh. California has started to manage energy usage so looking for spas that meet up to California’s Energy Commission standards would be a good place to start. These spas often have hybrid components designed to minimize energy consumption. Some models include Dream Maker Spas, Beachcomber, Jacuzzi hot tubs and Arctic Spas.

Other things you can do to make sure you make a wise hot tubes purchase are to look for hot tubs with multiple pumps for the different speeds. Single pumps with multiple speeds are not as effective as they sound and you will save more in the long run by spending the extra money off the bat and purchasing a model with a smaller pump for lower speeds.

Applied computer controls are key to controlling the components of your hot tub for your needs. Find the models with the best controls means you actually have a say in how much energy is consumed. Making sure the hot tubs has a cover with a high R rating and a good warranty is good as well as making sure the pump and heater are within the actual insulation within the enclosure to keep heat from escaping. Six inches of ridged foam insulation is your best bet for keeping energy where it belongs.
