Exclusive FiberCor™ Insulation

To maximize energy efficiency and lower operating costs, your Limelight Collection hot tub is fully insulated. Innovative FiberCor insulation is applied at a 2 lb. density level – which is 4-times greater than ½ lb. foam used in most spas. Plus, it is entirely reusable, easily disposable and made from 25% recycled materials.
 

Energy-Efficient Performance

Stand up and cheer! All Limelight hot tubs have been certified to the California Energy Commission (CEC) in accordance with California law, as well as to the national energy efficiency standard for portable spas, APSP 14. With California setting the standard for energy-efficient hot tubs, you can have peace of mind knowing that your Limelight hot tub is designed to keep operating costs low, no matter where you live.

 

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 this energy calculator. It presents the actual documented energy consumption of the specified Hot Spring spa in heavy use, based on third-party testing.

 

Calculating Your Monthly Costs

 
  • Monthly Energy Cost = Kilowatt Hours x Rate per Kilowatt Hour
  • Temp = Approximate Annual Mean Ambient Temperature in Degrees Fahrenheit
  • kWh = Approximate Average Kilowatt Hours per Month to Operate Spa*
  • Rate = Approximate Average Rate Charged per Kilowatt Hour in Dollars**
  • Cost = Approximate Average Monthly Energy Cost to Operate Spa*

*  Based on a 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 by an independent third party certified laboratory in a Controlled Environmental Chamber at multiple ambient temperatures using continuous Data Acquisition monitoring of watts, temperature and humidity, with all equipment rigorously calibrated to ensure data accuracy.  Testing conducted on representative large, medium and small spa models, with energy values for other models extrapolated from original data. Individual energy consumption will vary depending on water set temperature, actual consumer usage patterns, and actual environmental ambient conditions.
