The Cost-Saving Benefits of a Foam Hot Tub

One of the biggest advantages of a foam hot tub is its exceptional energy efficiency, which directly impacts your wallet. On average, a foam hot tub costs just $2 per day to operate—much lower than traditional inflatable hot tubs, which can cost nearly twice as much in daily running expenses.

This cost efficiency comes from the innovative foam wall construction, which offers outstanding thermal insulation. The thick foam walls retain heat far better than the thin materials used in inflatable models, meaning the heater doesn’t need to work as hard or as often to maintain your ideal water temperature. This significantly reduces energy consumption and keeps operating costs low.

Foam hot tubs are also designed to minimize heat loss, making them a great option for year-round use, even in cooler weather. Their sturdy and durable design not only enhances heat retention but also reduces the need for frequent maintenance or repairs, adding even more value over time.

Investing in a foam hot tub means enjoying luxurious relaxation at home without the high energy bills—making it a smart choice for comfort and cost savings alike.

Eco Foam Hot Tub FAQs

Are eco foam hot tubs cheaper to run?

Yes, eco foam hot tubs are generally cheaper to run than inflatable models. Though they have a higher upfront cost, eco foam hot tubs are better insulated, leading to lower energy consumption over time. With fewer maintenance requirements and more durable materials, they offer long-term savings on both energy bills and upkeep compared to inflatable hot tubs.

For example, an inflatable spa can use approximately 16 kWh daily, while a eco foam spa uses around 8 kWh daily.

In the USA, assuming an electricity rate of $0.15 per kWh, the daily cost is approximately:

$1.20 per day for a eco foam hot tub (8 kWh x $0.15)
$2.40 per day for an inflatable spa (16 kWh x $0.15)

These figures are based on testing in ambient temperatures of 20°C (68°F) during summer. Actual costs may vary depending on local electricity tariffs and conditions, so this serves as an average estimate only.

Is it cheaper to leave a eco foam hot tub on all the time?

It is generally cheaper to leave a eco foam hot tub on all the time because maintaining a constant water temperature uses less energy than reheating the water from cold each time. Turning the hot tub off frequently or drastically adjusting the temperature causes the heater to work harder, which increases energy consumption and running costs over time.

Can you put a eco foam hot tub on paving slabs?

Yes, you can place a eco foam hot tub on paving slabs, but it’s essential to ensure that the slabs are laid on a stable, professionally built base. This base prevents shifting and helps distribute the weight of the hot tub evenly, keeping the pavers in place and maintaining proper drainage to avoid water pooling underneath.

Are foam hot tubs hard to upkeep?

Eco foam hot tubs are generally not hard to upkeep, but they do require regular maintenance. Key tasks include checking the water chemistry weekly, cleaning the filter, and ensuring the water temperature is consistent. Regularly draining and refilling the hot tub every three to four months is also recommended to maintain water quality. With proper care, eco foam hot tubs can provide a relaxing experience with minimal effort.

Should I put anything under my foam hot tub?

When placing any hot tub, it’s essential to put something underneath it to ensure stability and protect the base. A solid, level surface such as a concrete pad, pavers, or a hot tub mat provides adequate support and helps prevent damage to the hot tub's bottom. Additionally, using a mat or tarp can protect the area from moisture and debris, promoting better drainage and reducing the risk of mold and mildew. Always ensure the area is clear of sharp objects before installation.
