Insulation and energy costs for hot tubs and swim spas
This topic is not about optics, but only about bare numbers, which should be expressed in monetary terms. Since this is unfortunately not worth mentioning, we would just like to tell you that an outdoor hot tub or swim spa unfortunately consumes electricity, no matter which insulation variant was now used. The solution is called air heat pump or heat exchanger if necessary, everything else is unfortunately not proportionally purposeful. Either way, the question is whether you are aiming for winter use, because if not, the big issue of insulation and energy costs is a very small issue for you. You are now certainly a little unsettled and ask yourself why then the big topic and why is just here so much talked, written and told. It is relatively simple and if we have explained it to you also understandable. The heat rises as ever upwards and escapes for the most part over the cover into the open air. Accordingly, one tries to prevent or minimize evaporation, because exclusion is physically impossible. Now we want to improve the insulation around and under the whirlpool, which as a loss area tends to have the lower losses. The problem which exists here now is a completely different one than expected. We could achieve positive effects by using rock wool or glass wool or other materials, but it gets too warm in the spa for the technology and pumps and we run the risk of damaging them. Unfortunately, the savings are not in proportion to the replacement and therefore we do not recommend the use of additional layers of insulation. However, we will be happy to help you demonstrate the outdoor hot tub or swim spa insulation perfectly, or recommend which option would make the most sense for you based on your anticipated usage.
