Sustainable Hot Tub Options for the Eco-Conscious Homeowner
At OC Spas, nestled in the heart of Cornwall, we understand the desire for luxurious relaxation while minimising your environmental impact. That’s why we’re proud to offer a range of sustainable hot tub options for the eco-conscious homeowner.
Whether you’re seeking a tranquil retreat in your own garden or managing hot tubs in your holiday rentals, there are ways to indulge without compromising the environment.
The Environmental Impact of Hot Tubs
Traditional hot tubs can have an environmental footprint. Heating the water and maintaining cleanliness often requires significant energy use and harsh chemicals. However, advancements in technology and design have paved the way for sustainable hot tubs that offer a more guilt-free soak.
Sustainable Hot Tub Features to Consider
Here at OC Spas, we can help you find a luxury Artesian hot tub that prioritises sustainability. Look for these features:
Energy Efficiency: Artesian hot tubs boast superior insulation, retaining heat and reducing the energy needed to maintain the desired temperature. Additionally, consider energy-efficient pumps and filtration systems that use less power while keeping your water sparkling clean.
Chemical-Free Water Treatment: Chlorine is a traditional disinfectant, but it can irritate skin and harm the environment. Consider ozone water treatment systems or UV-C sterilisation, both of which are kinder to your skin and the planet. These methods may still require minimal chlorine use, but significantly reduce the overall amount needed.
Water Conservation: Artesian hot tubs are designed with tight-fitting covers that minimise heat loss and water evaporation. Additionally, consider features like multi-cycle filtration systems that extend the lifespan of your hot tub water, reducing the need for frequent draining and refilling.
Sustainable Materials: Look for hot tubs built with recycled materials or sustainably sourced wood. Artesian hot tubs often utilise high-quality, durable materials that are built to last, minimising the need for replacements.
Artesian hot tubs are made from pressure-treated wooden frames that are renewable and sustainable. The wood is harvested from forests with the Forest Stewardship Council Certification, ensuring that the material is responsibly sourced.
Sustainable Practices for Existing Hot Tubs
Even with a traditional hot tub, there are ways to be more eco-conscious:
Maintain a Consistent Temperature: Instead of constantly reheating cool water, aim for a consistent, slightly lower temperature. This reduces energy consumption without sacrificing your enjoyment.
Reduce Filtration Cycles: While proper filtration is crucial, unnecessary cycles waste energy. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations based on usage.
Embrace Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products: Opt for biodegradable and chlorine-free cleaning solutions to keep your hot tub sparkling without harming the environment.
Embrace Solar Power: If you have the space, consider installing solar panels to partially or fully power your hot tub, creating a truly sustainable experience.
