energy efficient spas
Higher efficiency, lower cost to own
Bullfrog Spas® built with the patented JetPak Therapy System® offer unbeatable therapy. However, there’s another big advantage that provides incredible therapy for your wallet. Bullfrog Spas with JetPaks® hold heat better and operate more efficiently. With Bullfrog Spas®, you’ll relax tired muscles and your budget, saving money on your energy bill every month.
How does the JetPak Therapy System® make Bullfrog Spas® more efficient?
It’s relatively simple. Hot tub models with JetPaks® utilize our proprietary H2Air Manifold™ to direct water to jets. JetPaks® and this manifold are inside the spa’s main body of water, meaning more water and more energy are retained in the main body, where it’s easier to insulate and keep water hot.
Full foam insulation that prevents heat from escaping
Bullfrog Spas’® 100% closed-cell, full foam design insulates the spa completely to prevent heat escape, even in the coldest climates.
Infrared heat mapping shows the difference that full foam insulation makes. A full foam insulated Bullfrog Spa® locks in the heat and very little escapes to the outside air. In other types of spas, you can see that more heat is lost to the outside environment, requiring the hot tub to use more energy to keep the water warm.

Frequently asked questions about energy efficiency
The amount of electricity a hot tub uses per month depends on its energy efficiency, insulation quality, usage habits, and the local cost of electricity. Understanding these factors can help you manage your energy costs.
Energy-efficient hot tubs have features like solid foundations, high-quality insulation, air-tight sealing, simple plumbing, fitted covers, and dual pump systems. These factors reduce energy consumption and operating costs.
You can reduce energy costs by keeping the hot tub on to retain heat, installing a wind barrier, using a floating thermal blanket, lowering the temperature slightly, and performing regular maintenance to keep the system efficient.
Yes, keeping a hot tub on helps retain heat, so it doesn’t need to work as hard to reheat when you’re ready to use it. This can reduce energy consumption and shorten the waiting time before use.
Yes, reducing the temperature by just one or two degrees can result in noticeable energy savings without significantly impacting your hot tub experience.
Regular maintenance, such as cleaning, changing filters, and monitoring spa chemicals, ensures the hot tub runs efficiently, prolongs its lifespan, and reduces both energy and repair costs.
