Spa Comfort Without the High Costs

At Be Well Canada Spa, we believe that wellness should be relaxing, accessible, and simple. Whether you enjoy your spa every evening or only on weekends, energy efficiency is essential — for your peace of mind, your wallet, and the planet. Here are some smart, easy-to-apply tips to lower your spa’s operating costs while still savoring every moment of hydrotherapy.

Keep Your Spa Cover in Good Condition

Your cover plays a key role in heat retention. When it fits properly and is in good shape — not cracked, waterlogged, or worn — it helps keep the water warm longer and reduces operating costs. If yours looks tired, consider replacing it to improve performance and save money.

Lower the Temperature Slightly

Reducing the temperature by just one or two degrees (for example, from 102°F to 100°F / 39°C to 38°C) can decrease how often the heater runs. That means lower energy consumption and reduced costs — without compromising comfort.

Turn Off the Air Jets Between Sessions

Air injectors mix cooler air into the water, causing the temperature to drop more quickly. Turning them off when the spa isn’t in use helps maintain heat and reduces heater cycles — a simple way to save energy.

Use a Floating Thermal Blanket

Adding a floating thermal blanket under your main cover creates an extra layer of insulation. It limits heat loss from evaporation and extends the life of your spa cover — a small step with a big impact on your energy use.

Clean Your Filters Regularly

Clogged filters restrict water flow, forcing the spa system to work harder. Regular filter maintenance improves circulation and heating efficiency — saving money over time.

Place Your Spa in a Sheltered Location

The location of your spa matters. If possible, install it near a wall, fence, or in an area protected from the wind. Less exposure means better heat retention — warmer water at a lower cost.

Add an Insulating Base

If your spa sits on concrete or stone, an insulating base beneath it can reduce heat loss through the ground. It also adds comfort underfoot — a double advantage for both well-being and energy savings.

Maintain Proper Water Balance

Balanced water ensures not only cleanliness and safety but also helps your system run efficiently. Good water quality protects components and reduces the need for frequent draining, helping to cut costs.

Protect Your Cover with an Outer Shield

A protective cover or spa bag shields your main cover from weather and wear, while also adding a slight insulating effect. Think of it as a jacket for your spa — an extra layer that helps keep the heat in.

Consider a More Energy-Efficient Spa

If your spa is old or poorly insulated, replacing it with a newer, more energy-efficient model from Be Well Canada Spa can make a significant difference. Our spas are designed with advanced insulation, powerful yet economical heating systems, and customizable comfort — everything you need to reduce costs while maximizing your wellness.
