LEADING ENERGY EFFICIENCY

The Hot Spring® Energy Smart® system ensures that your spa will be hot and ready when you are while keeping energy costs low.

Features

High-Density Foam Insulation

Multiple layers of the same, high-density polyurethane foam used in commercial freezers insulate the spa shell to help lock in heat. Available on Highlife® Collection spas.
High-Density Foam Insulation

FIBERCOR® INSULATION

This exclusive insulation fills the cabinet completely with a density four times greater than the half-pound foam used in most spas. Available on Limelight® and Hot Spot® Collection spas.

Energy Cost

All models meet or exceed stringent California Energy Commission (CEC) and APSP 14 energy efficiency standards for portable spas. Actual energy costs depend on spa model, usage, temperature and other factors, but you can use the table below to estimate actual energy cost of a mid-sized Highlife Collection spa in heavy use.
MONTHLY COST ESTIMATES = RATE X KILOWATT HOUR
City Temp kWh Rate Cost
Miami, FL 75 ºF / 23 ºC 100 $0.10 $10.00

*In Canadian dollars; based on average rates from the Alberta Utilities Commission, March 2022.

**Based on a medium-sized Highlife Collection spa set at 102 °F used six times per week – 15 minutes with jets on and 15 minutes with jets off during each use. Testing conducted by 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 calibrated to ensure data accuracy. Individual energy consumption will vary depending on set water temperature, actual consumer usage patterns, and actual environmental ambient conditions.

***Based on rates from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, November 2021. Rates subject to change. Check with your local electricity provider for your current rate.
