IrelandEnglishHow much does an electric hot tub cost?
Electric hot tubs are becoming more and more popular throughout the world. And yet many people wonder how much an electric hot tub will cost to run. We will tell you all about the running costs, which consist of costs for water maintenance and costs for electricity. Solar panels can help with the latter, and we will tell you about those too.
Water maintenance costs
Hygienic water is tremendously important. To enjoy the water for as long as possible, you’ll need to maintain the water properly with AquaKristal with chlorine, a filter cleaner, water testing kit and a filter cartridge. You’ll need to replace the water in your Nordic Hot Tub every three months. Filling it with fresh water costs approximately €4. In total, you’ll have to factor in approximately €20 to €45 for monthly water maintenance, depending on how often you use the hot tub.

Energy costs for an electric hot tub
Monthly energy costs will depend on various factors, such as the size of the tub, the number of massage jets, the extent of use and the outdoor temperature. On average, our Nordic electric spas consume around 1275 kW/h per year. At an electricity price of EUR 0.27 per kWh*, this equates to just over EUR 28 of electricity per month. This is significantly more economical (up to 30-40%!) than all other electrical hot tubs available on the market. The energy efficiency is due to the very high insulation value of these Nordic electric massage tubs.
* Electricity prices can fluctuate. Check your current electricity price to arrive at an up-to-date calculation. NB The indicative consumption is an average.
Highly energy-efficient hot tubs
Our electric hot tubs from the Nordic Hot Tub brand are highly energy-efficient thanks to the innovative Nordic Wrap™ insulation. These American Nordic Hot Tubs are designed to be suitable even for cold regions such as Alaska. To achieve high insulation value and low energy consumption, all our Nordic Hot Tubs are fitted with double insulation as standard. The entire shell is double insulated and the Nordic Wrap™ insulation is used as additional insulation. This additional hot tub insulation is positioned at the rear of the wooden housing. Save up to 30-40% energy with a Nordic Hot Tub!
Compensating energy costs with solar panels
Nowadays many houses are equipped with solar panels. Solar panels are a good way to compensate for the electricity costs of a hot tub/spa.
How many solar panels are needed?
On average, an electric spa will consume around 1275 kW/h per year. To compensate for the cost of electricity, you'll have to do a sum. After all, solar panel capacity is given in Watt-peak (Wp). Here, you need solar panels with a total power of 1498 Wp (1275 : 0.85). The average power of one solar panel is 300 Wp.
Which means that just 5 solar panels are enough to compensate for the consumption of your electric hot tub with green power!*
