Sunstar spa cover energy efficiency
In today’s economy buying a “good” product is not enough. Today’s consumer insists on the best product in terms of both manufacturing materials and reducing operating costs. When purchasing a hot tub cover several attributes like longevity, insulation value, tightness of seal to the tub and overall energy efficiency all factor into the return on investment of your purchase.
To understand how to reduce operating costs, start by learning how spas and hot tubs use energy. They typically use electric energy to heat and continuously circulate the water, and a very small amount of electricity for lighting. Hot tubs are covered and unused more than 95 percent of the time, yet this is typically when they use 75 percent of their energy. Thus, energy conservation starts at this “steady-state” mode by reducing heat losses from the hot tub cover.
The insulation value derived from our manufacturing process using virgin foam cores, 27 ounce marine grade vinyl, full length heat seal gaskets (optional on all hinged covers) as well as the unparalleled tightness of the Antaeus 2000™ vapor seal to the hot tub are the most important construction details in terms of overall energy use and efficiency.
The California Energy Commission (CEC) was the first governing body to mandate a standard of hot tub efficiency compliance. Sunstar spa covers rate one of the highest R-Values in the industry and manufactures selling hot tubs in California using Sunstar hot tub covers were able to effortlessly pass the CES’s strict guidelines unlike many competitor offerings.
It would be impossible to have a totally air tight spa cover as there has to be some air escape. Unlike many other hot tub and spa cover manufactures the Sunstar hot tub & spa covers will not add to your energy waste. We build green and you save green.
If you currently own a spa or hot tub and notice that the cover is becoming heavier from water saturation, replace it with a Sunstar cover today. Water-logged insulation loses effectiveness and wastes costly energy that could be dollars going back into your pocket.
