It's What You Don't See That Makes a
Hot Spring® Spa Last...And Last

THE NO-FAULT® 6000 HEATER
-----NO WORRIES
Typically, the heater is the most vulnerable component of a spa because the heating elements come in contact with the spa's water, causing them to corrode and fail. Failures due to water chemistry are commonly excluded from other spa warranties. But the revolutionary THE NO-FAULT® 6000 HEATER is unlike any other spa heater. Its patented, exclusive design directs the water through four stainless steel tubes, so the heating elements never come in contact with the water. The most common cause of spa heater failures has been engineered out, and your heater warranty is valid for five years---regardless of water chemistry. |

Dedicated Pumps, Dedicated Power
In most other spas the jet pump has to tackle double duty,
powering the jets at high speed and the filtration cycles
at low speed. This dual-function design can overtax a pump and seriously
limit its durability. Our separate Silent Flo 5000 circulation pump takes
on the role of continuous filtration, assuring you of clean, heated water,
24 hours a day.
The Wavemaster jet pump was designed for a single purpose:
to deliver the finest massage experience by producing
the most powerful flow through all the jets. Each pump has just one job
to do, providing better performance over time. In addition, our patented
pump shroud vents hot air from the equipment compartment. This creates
a cooler working environment for the motors and electronic components,
contributing to a longer life for your Hot Spring spa. |
The Fun Shouldn't End When
The Electric Bill
Shows Up.
Spas are wonderful.
Big electric bills are not. So we make sure our spas are totally insulated. While
many spas claim to be fully foamed, they often use only cheaper, low-density,
open-cell packaging-type foam. Hot Spring spas, by contrast, are totally
insulated, not just fully foamed. The difference lies in our multiple
layers of high-density, closed-cell polyurethane foam, the same material used
to insulate commercial freezers.
Once you own a Hot Spring spa, you'll really appreciate its lower operating
costs.
Energy Features
Hot Spring ® spas deliver superior performance for just pennies a day.
Our state-of-the-art features are designed to save you money.
Exclusive Insulated Cover
 Each
spa comes with a custom-fit cover that forms a tight seal. It's made of durable
marine-grade vinyl with 2 or 1.5 lb foam insulation, and is tapered for water
run-off. It features child-resistant safety locks and is UL Classified in accordance
with ASTM safety standards.
Constant Heat
 Driving innovation, Hot Spring
Spas' energy saving features maintain the water at your desired temperature,
eliminating expensive heating, cooling and filtration cycles.
SmartJet® System
We provide a variety of
massage options without oversized or multiple jet pumps. Simply turn on the
jet system you want...and nothing more.
Hydraulically Efficient Plumbing
Our manifold plumbing system minimizes
restrictions in the water flow, so less jet horsepower (and less energy) is
required to deliver a strong feel at the jets.
Superior Filtration
Our superior filtration
system and optional EverFresh® water
care system, featuring the highly effective FreshWater® III CD ozone generator,
reduce the need to refill the spa and heat new water.
Efficient Jet Pump
Unlike oversized, high horsepower jet pumps used
in many other brands, the single-speed Wavemaster® jet pump uses only the
energy needed to deliver a powerful hydromassage experience. Hot Spring Spas'

Dedicated Circulation Pump
Our single-speed Silent Flo 5000® circulation
pump ensures 24 hour filtration while using less energy to operate than a 75-watt
light bulb. |
No-Fault® Heater
The unique, patented design ensures maximum
efficiency by transferring over 98% of the heat it produces into the water...minimizing
waste and energy cost.
L.E.D. Interior Light
Uses far less energy than a standard light
bulb. In fact, many cities are converting their traffic signals to low-watt
L.E.D. lights to conserve energy.
Affordable Relaxation
Hot Spring has always been
the leader in designing and
manufacturing energy
efficient spas. While all
Hot Spring spas are extremely
energy efficient, look for the
EE symbol to find the models
specially configured to be
the most energy efficient
spas available.
Hot Spring® spas set
the standard when it comes to energy efficency.
The Energy Smart® Spa
While many spas claim to be fully foamed, they often use only
cheaper, low-density foam that can absorb moisture - reducing its
ability to retain heat. Hot Spring spas, by contrast, are totally insulated,
notjust fully/Darned The difference lies in our multiple layers of
high-density, polyurethane foam, the same material used to insulate
commercial freezers. In addition, our pumps and heater are designed
to deliver maximum performance using minimum energy. Once you
own a Hot Spring spa, you'll really appreciate its lower operating costs.
Third Party Testing
Unlike other spa manufacturers, we don't expect you to take our
word for the energy efficiency of our spas. We turned to Exponent, Inc.,
the nation's leading independent scientific and engineering firm, to
guantify the actual energy consumption of a Hot Spring spa through
rigorous testing. As the industry leader, we maintain only the highest
testing standards in order to give you confidence that purchasing a
Hot Spring spa is a powerfully efficient decision.
Calculating Your Monthly Cost
How much will it cost to operate a Hot Spring spa? That depends
on the model you own, the temperature you set, yourfrequency
of use, the mean ambient temperature and the cost of electricity
where you live. To get an idea, use the energy table below. It presents
the actual documented energy consumption of a mid-sized Hot
Spring spa in heavy use, based on third-party testing. To calculate
the approximate cost to operate a mid-sized Hot Spring spa in your
location, use the convenient energy calculator at www.hotspring.com.
