Answering common questions about energy-efficient spa pools

Does a spa pool use a lot of electricity?

Not if it’s built well. A high-quality spa with proper insulation, a lockable cover, and an efficient heating system like SpaNET™ can keep running costs surprisingly low — especially when set up with smart scheduling or a heat pump.

Do spas use a lot of electricity in Australia?

It depends on the brand and setup. Imported spas with thin shells or basic element heaters can drive up costs. Our Australian-made spas are designed for local conditions, helping you avoid heat loss and manage power use more effectively year-round.

What is the cheapest way to heat a spa?

A heat pump is by far the most economical option; it uses up to 75% less energy than a standard electric heater. When paired with a SpaNET™ controller and off-peak scheduling, it offers serious savings without compromising comfort.

What is the most economical way to run a spa?

Keep your cover on when not in use, run your heat pump on off-peak hours, clean your filters regularly, and set the temperature to suit the season. Our team can help you set it all up so your spa works around your lifestyle.
