So How Much Does It Cost To Run A Hot Tub? 

Arctic Spas® provides customers a comprehensive low-cost means for running a hot tub year-round – expect total costs at about $1 per day.  There are several hot tub models that we invite you to look into.

Arctic Spas® wanted to know the impact sturdy design and smart heat-retention had on hot tub maintenance costs.  So, we performed an extensive study in Colorado during early January:

“A foam-filled spa set to “economy mode” was compared against an Arctic Spas®  hot tub running at “normal mode.” This study utilized a standard 8-hour filter cycle operation. The Arctic Spas® hot tub showed a daily operating cost of less than 60 cents, while the foam-filled spa was over 75 cents per day. The study’s average outside temperature was 7⁰ F and showed that Arctic Spas®  hot tubs are more than 25% more efficient than typical foam-filled hot tubs. What’s more, the Arctic Spas® hot tub had a 450-gallon capacity, while the foam-filled tub was only 400 gallons; even with more water to heat, Arctic Spas®  still came out on top!”

These are the tips that you need to get to know when you consider the cost to maintain a hot tub.  If you’d like to buy the best spa you can get your hands on, don’t hesitate to look into Arctic Spas®.
