Leading Energy Efficiency
The Hot Spring® Energy Smart® system ensures that your spa will be hot and ready when you are while keeping energy costs low.
Features
Insulation
High-Density Foam Insulation
Multiple layers of the same, high-density polyurethane foam used in commercial freezers insulate the spa shell to help lock in heat.
Available on Highlife® Collection spas.
Heating
No-Fault® Heater
This patented heater uses a unique housing and heater element that maximizes heat transfer.
Circulation
SILENTFLO 5000® Circulation Pump
A dedicated low-energy pump circulates water while using less energy than a 40-watt light bulb.
Available on Highlife® and Limelight® Collection spas. Optional on select Hot Spot® Collection spas.

Energy Cost Details
*In Canadian dollars; based on average rates from the Alberta Utilities Commission, March 2022.
**Based on a medium-sized Highlife Collection spa set at 102 °F used six times per week – 15 minutes with jets on and 15 minutes with jets off during each use. Testing conducted by independent third-party certified laboratory in a controlled environmental chamber at multiple ambient temperatures using continuous data acquisition monitoring of watts, temperature and humidity, with all equipment calibrated to ensure data accuracy. Individual energy consumption will vary depending on set water temperature, actual consumer usage patterns, and actual environmental ambient conditions.
***Based on rates from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, November 2021. Rates subject to change. Check with your local electricity provider for your current rate.
