Energy Tip Details
Set your hot tub timer to heat only when used.
Hot tubs typically waste a lot of energy producing heat. Hot tubs that are maintained at 'ready' temperatures continuously waste heat throughout the day. By only raising the temperature an hour before use, and maintaining that temperature during use, energy waste and costs can be dramatically reduced.
