How Much Does it Cost to Run a Caldera Spa

Tuesday, August 14th, 2018

Often the best place to research the cost of electicity to operate a Caldera hot tub is from actual owners or a licensed dealer. A efficient and well- insulated hot tub can save a homeowner thousands of dollars over the life of the hot tub.

Caldera owners brag about their lower electricity bills and here’s why:

An acrylic shell that is reinforced with a three layer duraband system

Eco-tech cabinets that are made of polymer

Pump heat exhaust which captures heat exhaust and channels it out to the equipment compartment

Full fiber cor- insulation which is 4 times greater than the half-pound urethane foam used in most spas – which then maximizes energy efficiency and keeps operating costs lower

Many Caldera owners report that in using their hot tubs an average of once a day, 6 days a week while properly recovering their spa when finished, their electricity bills did not rise more than $25/ month.

A certified Caldera dealer can tell you what your monthy electricity cost will be for a specific spa – Stop in for an estimate and let us help you find the perfect spa for you and your family!

Auto Cover

One of the most commonly asked questions is “Can I use my Auto Cover as my Winter Cover”

The answer is yes, however, there are some precautions you must take in order to prevent any damage to the cover and track.

Over the winter you need to maintain the proper water level, which is halfway up the skimmer. This is very important because as we see snow and ice fall on the cover it puts a lot of stress on the cover and track. Not having the pool level accurate can lead to the cover and possibly the track being pulled in.

Never open the cover with snow and ice on it. This can damage the mechanism and track. With below freezing temps it puts a strain on the cover so it should never be opened in the middle of the winter season. As the temperatures rise, and snow and ice start to thaw, it is very important that you check the water level on the first nice Spring Day.

You can leave your pool cover pump out all winter so it is ready to remove the water in the spring.

An automatic pool cover is a great thing to have! However, during the winter months it is very important to properly maintain and treat your cover. If you would like to avoid all the required maintenance, a Winter Mesh Cover might be a better option. With the mesh cover, the auto cover will be rolled up for the winter, while the mesh cover – covers the entire pool.
