Thermal Blankets Save You Money !
With the increased price of oil and the
ridiculously high electric rates we pay, anything that you can do to
reduce your household energy consumption is important. Since
wintertime use of a hot tub tends to increase your energy bills, it
is imperative that you create the most energy efficient and
insulated environment for your hot tub water.
One of the best ( and least expensive ) ways
to do this is with the use of a hot tub "Thermal Blanket".
Basically, the concept is this...a floating plastic blanket is cut
to the exact shape of your hot tub water surface. This blanket is
filled with thousands of tiny air sacks which allow it to float on
the water surface underneath your regular hard thermal cover. When
you use the two covers in conjunction with each other, they provide
the maximum degree of heat retention possible in a hot tub. The hard
cover keeps the cold air out, and the Thermal Blanket keeps the heat
in the water !
Thermal Blankets are an absolute MUST for hot
tubs being used outside in the winter, but should also be used on
indoor hot tubs as well. You will most likely see a good reduction
in your water's heat loss over a 24 hour cycle period and will
surely see your hot tub's winter energy costs go way down !
Once Spring comes, and the outdoor
temperatures start to warm up again, simply fold up the Thermal
Blanket and store it away till next year.
