Hot Tub Heat Pumps: Efficient Heating Solutions for Your Spa
Soaking in a steaming hot tub under the stars sounds idyllic, but the thought of soaring energy bills might leave you feeling a little less bubbly. That’s where a hot tub heat pump comes into play, offering an energy-efficient and cost-effective solution to maintain your hot tub’s ideal temperature – no matter the season.
What is a Hot Tub Heat Pump?
A hot tub heat pump is a sophisticated heating system designed specifically for hot tubs and spas. Unlike traditional heating methods, such as electric heaters or gas systems, a heat pump operates by extracting heat from the surrounding air and transferring it to the water in your hot tub. This innovative technology ensures your hot tub or swim spa is always at the perfect temperature for relaxation and enjoyment.
Why Invest in a Hot Tub Heat Pump?
As we’ve already mentioned, they’re a lot more energy efficient, with heat pumps requiring significantly less electricity to operate compared to other heating systems. This not only translates to cost savings on your energy bills but also reduces your carbon footprint, making it an environmentally-friendly choice.
In our internal testing, our R10 hot tub with a heat source pump costs £2.80 a day in ice-cold winter temperatures while the traditional heater costs £7.20 – a saving of around £132 a month!
A heat pump means you can enjoy your cosy back garden retreat all year round. Whether it’s a crisp winter evening or a balmy summer day, the water will always be ready for when you want it, and according to how you like it (we suggest between 37-40 degrees Celsius).
Even better, a heat pump is designed to be whisper-quiet, so you can enjoy uninterrupted tranquillity while you soak away the stresses of the day.
With proper maintenance, a quality heat pump will serve you for years, enhancing the overall value of your spa should you ever wish to sell or upgrade.
Why Choose a Palm Spas’ Heat Pump?
Although a heat pump isn’t essential, we would recommend them as part of a hot tub starter kit due to the long-term cost savings they’ll provide. We offer a range of pumps for all hot tub or swim spa sizes, with the price including the installation and fitting or the equipment within 2 metres. Any further than this would require a bespoke quote.
Our products also come with some fantastic features such as convenient control (allowing you to manage your water temperature from anywhere) and dynamic and intelligent working. This means the pump will adjust its performance to ensure optimal efficiency and effectiveness, regardless of the specific requirements of your spa.
We appreciate a hot tub and associated accessories are an investment, which is why we offer our customers a range of payment methods, including the option to pay on finance or via 3 interest-free payments.
If you’re ever in doubt as to what you need, our friendly team is on hand to provide guidance and support. From choosing the right size and capacity to installation and maintenance tips, our aim is to make the process as smooth and hassle-free as possible.
