It's What You Don't See That Makes a Hot SpringŪ Spa Last...And Last
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-FAULTŪ 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 PowerIn 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. |
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.
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.
Driving innovation, Hot Spring
Spas' energy saving features maintain the water at your desired temperature,
eliminating expensive heating, cooling and filtration cycles.
Efficient Jet PumpUnlike 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' Filtration, Pumps, and Heater System |

Dedicated Circulation PumpOur single-speed Silent Flo 5000® circulation pump ensures 24 hour filtration while using less energy to operate than a 75-watt light bulb. |

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.
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.
