What Makes Hot Tubs Energy-Efficient? 

As energy costs rise and environmental concerns become more prominent, the need for energy-efficient hot tubs has grown almost as fast as their popularity. Before we explore Wellis hot tub features, let’s take a look at the key features that make any hot tub energy efficient.

High-Quality Insulation

One of the most critical features of an energy-efficient hot tub is high-quality insulation. Proper insulation helps to maintain the water temperature for longer periods, reducing the need for constant heating. Look for hot tubs with thick, well-insulated cabinets, multi-layered covers, and high-density foam insulation in the shell. This will ensure that your hot tub retains heat effectively, even in harsh weather conditions.

Energy-Efficient Pumps and Motors

The heart of a hot tub's energy efficiency lies in its pumps and motors. Energy-efficient models use variable-speed pumps that can adjust their speed based on the water flow needs. This feature minimizes energy consumption by only running at full speed when necessary. 

Advanced Filtration and Water Management

An energy-efficient hot tub will also feature advanced filtration systems that help maintain water quality while conserving energy. Look for hot tubs equipped with high-quality filters, ozonators, and circulation pumps that help keep the water clean and reduce the need for chemical treatments, ultimately saving on energy costs.

Smart Controls and Timers

Modern hot tubs often come with smart control systems that allow you to adjust and program the temperature, filtration, and other settings. Timers and thermostats help you schedule heating and filtration cycles to run during off-peak hours, which can significantly reduce energy costs. This ability to remotely control your hot tub via a smartphone app can also help you manage its energy consumption more effectively.

Proper Hot Tub Cover

A high-quality and well-insulated hot tub cover is an often underestimated energy-saving feature. A well-fitting cover prevents heat loss and reduces the workload on the heating system. Ensure that your hot tub cover is in good condition, properly sealed, and insulated to keep the water warm and energy consumption low.

Eco-Friendly Materials

The materials used in the construction of the hot tub can also affect its energy efficiency. Look for hot tubs made from eco-friendly and durable materials that are designed to withstand the elements. Such materials not only provide better insulation but also have a longer lifespan, reducing the need for replacement and reducing environmental impact.

Why Choose an Energy-Efficient Hot Tub? 

Energy efficiency has become a buzzword these days, but why exactly should you prioritize this luxury when it comes to your hot tub? Here are some of the most convincing reasons to opt for an eco-friendly spa and some amazing options.

Lower Operating Costs

One of the most compelling reasons to opt for an energy-efficient hot tub is the significant reduction in operating costs. Energy-efficient hot tubs are designed with advanced features that enable them to heat the water, maintain temperature, and circulate water more efficiently. These improvements can lead to substantial savings on your monthly energy bills, allowing you to enjoy your hot tub without worrying about a skyrocketing utility bill.

Wellis hot tubs, for instance, have been shown to save users as much as 30% on their monthly utility bill.

Reduced Environmental Impact

Energy-efficient hot tubs are more environmentally friendly because they consume less energy to operate. By using less electricity or gas to maintain water temperature and run filtration systems, you are contributing to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

Longer Lifespan

Typically, energy-efficient hot tubs are often built with high-quality components and materials. This durability not only ensures that your hot tub functions optimally for a longer period but also reduces the need for frequent replacements. The longer your hot tub lasts, the less energy and resources are required for manufacturing and disposal, and the more sustainable your choice proves to be.

How Are Wellis Hot Tubs Energy-Efficient?

Wellis Hot Tubs Energy-Efficient POLI-MAX™ Reinforcement

Let’s start with the incredible POLI-MAXTM reinforcement that makes up each Wellis model.  Your Wellis spa shell is treated in three layers: an acrylic layer shell, which is then covered with a polymer and then a polyurethane layer to add sound and thermal insulation. 

Not only is your hot tub shell strong, but it also features thermal conductivity – the first step to keeping your water’s heat right where it should be.

Wellis Hot Tubs Energy-Efficient POLYFOAM™ Insulation

Most manufacturers rely on single-layer spray foam to insulate their spas. But the designers at Wellis had a better idea: Our superior POLYFOAM™ insulation. Each Wellis hot tub has a triple layer of reflective polyfoam insulation, which takes surplus or residual heat generated by the spa equipment and redirects it into the spa's internal systems and the shell. 

This unique insulation option ensures that your pocketbook will love the fantastic energy efficiency of your sensational Wellis hot tub selection.

Hot Tubs Energy-Efficient Pump Systems

When it comes to creating an energy-efficient hot tub, the choice of pump systems can also have a substantial impact on electricity consumption. Programmable circulation pumps are integral components of a hot tub, ensuring a continuous flow of hot water through the system and preventing water wastage. Wellis hot tubs use Laing low-energy eco-circulation pumps, which consume approximately 40% less power compared to conventional pumps.

Efficient Heater Technology

Heaters are the primary culprits for energy consumption in hot tubs, but there are ways to mitigate these impacts. The voltage of your heater determines its wattage consumption. Wellis hot tubs are equipped with low-wattage heaters to minimize energy consumption.

Wellis hot tubs also feature high-performance titanium heaters. This exceptionally durable metal is more resistant to the corrosive effects of sanitizing chemicals, ensuring longer-lasting performance and reducing the frequency of replacements.

Filtration Systems

Wellis spas are equipped with multi-stage filtration and sanitation systems, ensuring crystal-clear, safe bathing water with minimal user maintenance. Selecting the ideal filtration system setting for maximum energy efficiency is a breeze with Wellis spas, thanks to their top-of-the-line filtration systems and user-friendly smart touch control panels.

Wellis hot tubs even allow you to schedule filtration cycles during off-peak hours, saving you money without compromising water quality.

Hot Tubs Energy-Efficient Base

One of the most amazing things you’ll find about your Wellis spa is an insulated base. Most brands of spas lose a ton of heat through the ground, since the hot tub base is not usually insulated. However, with a Wellis spa, your reflective barrier of insulation wraps all the way around your floor base to ensure that heat is not lost into the ground.

Energy-Efficient Hot Tub Cover

With an insulated base, it only makes sense that your spa needs an insulated cover. Your Wellis hot tub cover traps in the heat, ensuring a warm, comfortable retreat. Sink back into the relaxation of advanced hydrotherapy in your choice of Wellis spa. With insulation on all sides of your spa shell, you’ll find an energy-efficient experience like no other.

Energy-Efficient Hot Tub Controls

Want even more energy-efficient savings? Add the in.touch 2™ wireless smartphone capabilities to your Wellis hot tub model. The in.touch 2™ allows you to control your hot tub right from your smart device, maximizing efficiency and energy savings.

Energy-Saving Modes

Wellis hot tubs equipped with smart touch control systems offer an "eco" mode, which optimizes energy consumption. In this mode, the hot tub doesn't maintain a constant temperature but heats the water only during scheduled filtration times. This significantly reduces energy costs.
