What Makes Hot Spring Spas Green?

Energy-efficiency: operate using 30-50% less energy than the typical spa

Hot Spring spas are the most energy-efficient spas made. Here's why:

• Beneath the spa cabinet are multiple layers of high-density foam that minimize heat loss
• Low-amp SilentFlo circulation pump provides 24 hour filtration while using less energy to operate than a 75-watt light bulb
• Equipment compartment designed to direct warm air generated from pumps and heater back towards the spa water to minimize heat loss
• Custom-fit cover with high insulating value (R-19), dense foam core forming tight seal with spa shell for best heat retention
• Water maintained at a constant temperature, eliminating expensive heating and cooling cycles

Natural Water Care Alternatives

• Environmentally-friendly water care systems keep water cleaner, longer
• Less harsh chemicals: with EverFresh system, ozone and silver ions neutralize contaminants for a more natural alternative to water care, reducing use of chlorine and/or other harsh chemicals
• Superior filtration: only Hot Spring spas offer 100% no-bypass filtration, which means that all the water passes through multiple filters before re-entering spa

Water Conservation

• A jetted/whirlpool tub used twice a week for 6 months would require sixteen times the water of the Hot Spring Vanguard model
• Other spa brands recommend draining & refilling every 50-90 days. Hot Spring’s exclusive water care features give you the option of draining just twice a year
