Environmentally Friendly Hot Spring Spas
Have you ever thought about how a hot tub affects the environment? While there are many brands on the market today, you can count on Hot Spring Spas and their already built-in green features.
If you’re concerned about your environmental footprint, and you already own a Hot Spring Spa, you can rest assured that your spa is Energy Smart®. If you’re contemplating a purchase, you can also rest assured that your spa has minimal impact on the earth.
In honor Earth Day, we look at the environmentally friendly Hot Spring Spas. First, let’s look at Earth Day.
What is Earth Day?
It began in 1970 as a grass roots push to encourage people to take care of the earth’s resources. Today Earth Day observances have grown tremendously. They now include over a billion people in several hundred countries.
We celebrate Earth Day world-wide on April 22. Events include community cleanups, tree plantings, advocacy events and other service events. For us at Townley Pool and Spa, we are concerned about the earth every day and want you to know your hot tub is naturally ready to save energy.
Now let’s look at what’s already built-in a Hot Spring Spa.
Leading Energy Efficiency
The Hot Spring® Energy Smart® system ensures that your spa is hot and ready when you are while keeping energy costs low. Check out the features:
High-Density Foam Insulation
Multiple layers of the same, high-density polyurethane foam used in commercial freezers insulate the spa shell to help lock in heat.
Available on Highlife Collection spas.
Fibercor® Insulation
This exclusive insulation fills the cabinet completely with a density four times greater than the half-pound foam used in most spas.
Available on Limelight and Hot Spot Collection spas.
Hot Spring Spa Covers
Custom-fit covers ensure a tight seal to lock in heat. Dense foam cores and an exclusive hinge seal increase insulating ability for additional energy efficiency.
Insulated Basepan
Structural ribbing on the bottom of Highlife Collection spas increases energy efficiency by creating insulating air space and minimizing contact with cold ground.
No Fault® Heater
This patented heater uses a unique housing and heater element that maximizes heat transfer.
Recycled Heat
A patented pump shroud captures heat from the equipment compartment and transfers it to the water for less energy consumption.
Available on Highlife Collection spas.
Silentflo 5000® Circulation Pump
A dedicated low-energy pump circulates water while using less energy than a 40-watt light bulb.
Available on Highlife and Limelight Collection spas. Optional on HotSpot Collection Spas.
The FreshWater System:
This system is available on all Highlife® Collection and Limelight® Collection spas.
The FreshWater System is an easy-to-use saltwater system that eliminates the worry of keeping spa water clean, clear, and sanitized for a full year.*
With just a little salt in your spa water, the system generates chlorine automatically, so you spend less time measuring and adding chemicals. This unique system makes spa ownership easier than ever by removing the guesswork and hassle of water care maintenance.
- More natural-feeling water with no itchy, dry skin or eyes
- Fewer chemicals added and no harsh odors
- Simple water care means more time enjoying your spa
- Conserve water by reducing spa drain and refills to once a year*
Green Manufacturing:
In addition, Hot Spring Spas has made an environmental commitment to their manufacturing with:
- Projects for energy reductions that significantly decreased carbon dioxide emissions — the equivalent of planting 374 acres of trees.
- Enhancements to their water system controls that save over one million gallons of water each year.
- Recycling over 2.5 million pounds of materials each year.
- Wrapping each Hot Spring spa in material containing approximately 50% post-consumer recycled content that is 100% recyclable.
- Producing their own power 24/7 that uses clean-burning natural gas and much more!

*Many factors affect the life of spa water, such as bather load and water chemistry. When these factors are accounted for and the spa is properly maintained, the FreshWater Salt System will keep water clean and clear for a full year.
