Energy Efficient Hot Tubs & Spas

Wellis Spa’s energy-efficient hot tubs are innovative and environmentally-friendly spa products designed to provide relaxation, hydrotherapy, and responsible energy consumption. These hot tubs combine state-of-the-art technology with sustainable features to create a luxurious and eco-conscious spa experience.

Scandinavian Insulation

Wellis Spas uses Scandinavian insulation for our hot tub and swim spa products. Originating from the Scandinavian region, known for its cold climates, this triple-layer insulation method is designed to enhance energy efficiency and heat retention in hot tubs and swim spas, ensuring optimal performance even in colder environments.

Reflective Foil Insulation

The first insulation layer reflects the heat generated by the hot tub or swim spa’s components, such as pumps and heaters, back into the water.

The second layer of insulation involves the use of insulation panels, creating a barrier that helps trap and retain heat within the water, preventing it from dissipating into the surrounding environment.

The third layer of insulation involves filling any remaining cavities or gaps with insulating materials. This ensures that there are no areas where heat can escape, further improving energy efficiency and heat retention.

Properly sealing the hot tub or swim spa helps prevent drafts and air leakage, which can contribute to heat loss.

The combination of all the insulation layers and air tightness of the Scandanavian insulation model helps maintain a consistent and efficient temperature inside the hot tub or swim spa.


By strategically targeting muscle groups with properly sized and positioned jets, hot tubs and swim spas ensure effective hydrotherapy while reducing the overall power required.

Energy-efficient hot tub models often feature variable speed pumps that allow users to adjust the waterflow intensity. By operating at lower speeds when higher flow rates are unnecessary, these pumps consume less energy while still providing a customized hydrotherapy experience.

By utilizing separate plumbing lines for each jet, the system ensures balanced pressure and efficient water distribution, reducing energy waste caused by unnecessary shared plumbing lines.

Energy-efficient hot tubs and swim spas offer adjustable air control valves, allowing users to regulate the air-to-water ratio in each jet. By optimizing the mixture, users can customize the massage intensity while minimizing energy consumption associated with excessive air injection.

These filtration and circulation systems efficiently remove impurities and maintain water clarity, reducing strain on the pump and minimizing energy consumption. By ensuring clean water, the circulation system allows for smooth and uninterrupted waterflow without compromising energy efficiency.

Energy-Efficient Hot Tubs

Optimized Waterflow

Optimized waterflow in hot tubs and swim spas is not only about providing an enjoyable hydrotherapy experience but also maximizing energy efficiency. By incorporating specific design features and engineering principles, energy-efficient waterflow systems aim to minimize power consumption while maintaining superior performance.


LED Lighting

LED lighting is a popular feature in energy-efficient hot tubs and swim spas. It offers several advantages over traditional lighting options, providing both aesthetic appeal and improved energy efficiency.

LED lights are highly energy-efficient compared to conventional lighting options. They consume significantly less energy while providing bright and vibrant illumination. LED technology converts a higher percentage of electrical energy into light, resulting in reduced energy consumption and lower operating costs.

LED lights can last tens of thousands of hours, significantly reducing the frequency of bulb replacements. This longevity minimizes maintenance efforts and associated costs, contributing to overall energy savings.

LED lights generate less heat than traditional lighting sources, which is beneficial for hot tubs and swim spas because it helps maintain a comfortable water temperature. Additionally, the lower heat output reduces strain on the spa’s cooling systems, enhancing energy efficiency.

LED lights designed for hot tubs and swim spas are typically waterproof and built to withstand the spa’s humid and wet environment. They are sealed and encased to prevent water damage and ensure user safety. This durability eliminates the need for frequent replacements due to water-related issues, contributing to long-term energy efficiency.

Many energy-efficient hot tubs and swim spas with LED lighting come equipped with automation systems that allow users to program lighting schedules, adjust colors, and set lighting effects. By incorporating automation features, users can optimize energy usage by controlling when and how the LED lights operate.


Smartphone apps enable users to monitor and adjust the water temperature of their hot tub or swim spa remotely. By adjusting the temperature based on usage patterns, users can conserve energy and reduce heating costs.

With smartphone apps, users can set up schedules and timers for different spa functions, such as heating, filtration, and lighting. By programming these functions to operate during off-peak energy hours or only when necessary, energy consumption can be optimized.

Some smartphone apps provide real-time energy usage monitoring for hot tubs and swim spas. Users can track and analyze their energy consumption patterns, gaining insights into how different settings and features impact energy efficiency.

By adjusting these settings based on specific needs, users can ensure efficient water circulation and filtration without unnecessary energy usage. This feature enables users to customize the operation of these systems to match their usage patterns, enhancing energy efficiency.
