Energy consumption can be affected by a few factors, firstly if your PureSpa will be kept outside then the ambient temperature will affect your spas energy usage as when it is cooler the heating system will need to work more to maintain the set temperature.

If you use the PureSpa during the winter it will use more energy than in the height of summer although Intex do recommend that once the outside temperature falls below 4°C (39°F) the PureSpa is packed away and stored indoors.

Another factor is the energy tariff that you are on, it is a good idea to make sure you are on the most cost-effective electricity tariff to help keep running costs down.

If the PureSpa is only going to be used at the weekends it is probably a good idea to reduce the temperature by a few degrees so that the water is not being heated so often then increase the temperature a few hours before use.

One way to reduce energy consumption would be to fit an Energy Efficient Spa Cover which is available to fit the 4 person round PureSpa.

4 Person – 2-3°F / 1.5°C-2.5°C per hr
6 Person – 1-2°F / 1°C-2°C per hr
8 Person – 0.8-1.5°F / 0.8-1.5°C per hr

The PureSpa has a cover included with an inflatable bladder insert that minimise any heat loss. Also available for the 4 person PureSpa is the Energy Efficient Cover which can improve the energy efficiency by as much as 50%.

PureSpa water does need to be sanitised, you can used chlorine in tablet form or granules. pH Plus and Minus is also required as chlorine will not work effectively if the pH levels are not correct. You will also require test strips so you can monitor the water before using the Spa.

Intex recommend that once the temperature outside falls below 4°C (39°F) the PureSpa is not used and is stored indoors for the winter.
