What type of hot tub to buy - and how you can run it for FREE! 

Cool - happy to help!

Glad it was helpful - and thank you.

Very kind, thank you. Be sure to tell 10,000 of your closest friends 😉

Thanks very much. Yes, we like the gazebo. It's from Dunster House, if you're here in the UK.

Appreciate it!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for watching!

I’m not sure, as the tub would generally heat up to around 38/40’c so anything hotter might damage the components which are simply never meant to go any hotter than this. I would not recommend this.

Hi. I have not researched it, but your challenge would be finding a timer that can handle the kind of power that a hot tub requires, as a simple plug in timer would likely not suffice. If you can find one then you ought to be fine, I would suggest.

Thanks!

I don’t blame you. Power is so expensive at the moment that I think you need to make very frequent use of a hot tub right now to justify the outlay.

It's a good question, but I would assume so. I guess I will find out in August, when our contract expires. Although, I suspect we will move to the Tesla tariff at that point.

There is definitely a huge element of making sure you choose the right electricity tariff when running a hot tub, but I hope the rest of the content is useful to people, too. Thanks for watching.

It was great - quick and smooth with huge savings. We’ve now moved over from Go to the Tesla Energy Plan (as we have a Tesla Powerwall), which gives us a fixed rate 24/7, though we still try and keep the majority of our consumption to the off peak hours just to keep the pressure on the grid to a minimum. It’s costing a little more than before but our Go contract expired and the new Go rates are quite a bit higher. The Tesla rates are 10.9p per KWH for us, both import and export (solar power).

This particular tub is no longer available as the business sadly folded. Therefore, I’m not sure what the equivalent would cost these days.

It's called the Caribbean. Sadly, the company who sold it to us has recently gone out of business. I found an old video showing it on RU-vid: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0gnsKNKjvmQ.html

You’d have to check their website but I’m sure I read somewhere that they were planning on it, so possibly, yes.

That’s the recommendation from the manufacturer. How often do you drain and replace?

Every couple of months? It's gross. Drain it after each use. Don't use chemicals at all. It'll cost you in water and heating but you'll have clean water every time.

@@July-A7 You mean like a bath? Might be more cost effective for you to just get a bath with jets.

@@PaulsViewsReviews cost is just one consideration. In my book, hygiene outweighs cost.

...but only if you're going to use it regularly, all year round. If you are a regular user, jumping in every day or two, then I agree with you. We, however, use it once every week or even two. The integrated operating programmes of our hot tub control the temperature based on how often we tell it we will use it and it varies the temperature to save power while still keeping it relatively warm but not up to 'full' heat until needed. Pointless spending money each day to maintain full temperature when you're not in it. Makes more sense to heat it up for longer but only on the run up to the days you need it.

Actually, that’s been a popular video but each to their own. Thanks for clicking, anyway.
