1. Provides several more inches of 2Lb Closed Cell Foam (R7 Factor per inch), creating an insulating air pocket (Thermal Loc).
2. This second "Thermal Loc" also prevents the hot tub from overheating in the summer or warmer climates by insulating the water from excessive heat energy when not required.
3. This second "Thermal Loc" also holds the plumbing firmly in place to avoid damage from the torque generated by the hydrotherapy pumps.

Stage 3

Stage 1. Insulating Air Pocket
An air space between the hot tub shell and EnerSmart Insulation traps and retains heat energy from the hot tub plumbing and the hot tub water.

Acting much like today's modern thermal pane windows, the insulating air pocket traps heat from the plumbing and the hot tub water creating the first of two "Thermal Locs"

Allows for easy access to the plumbing on all four sides of the hot tub in the inlikely event that the hot tub plumbing requires service

Stage 2. EnerSmart Insulation
A high-density 2 lb. closed cell insulation is applied to the entire base of the hot tub and is generously applied on top of a specially installed vapor barrier that forms the insulating air pocket. EnerSmart insulation has the highest R-value in the industry (R7 per inch).

Fully insulates the bottom of the hot tub

Provides maximum possible heat retention within the hot tub water and plumbing

Secures the hot tub plumbing and prevents future leaks that many competitors are experiencing from the continual movement of unsecured plumbing

Stage 3.Thermal Loc Chamber
An air chamber is created between the EnerSmart Insulation and the Thermal Seal Blanket. The "Thermal Loc Chamber" allows the excess heat created by the hot tub pump(s) to be trapped and utilized which dramatically aids in the hot tubs efficiency.

The excess heat created by the pump(s) makes the outdoor environment around the hot tub warmer resulting in the hot tubs heating system coming on less often and creates the second of two "Thermal Locs"

Stage 4.Thermal Vent & Thermal Seal Blanket
A specially constructed Thermal Seal Blanket is installed on the inside perimeter of the hot tub cabinet. Strategically placed adjustable Thermal Vents are installed through the cabinetry and Thermal Seal Blanket.

The "Thermal Seal Blanket" along with the hot tub cabinetry is the final stage of insulation between the elements and the hot tub water

The "Thermal Seal Blanket" and hot tub cabinetry traps excess heat created by the hot tubs pump(s) allowing the hot tub to recover and utilize this excess heat

The adjustable "Thermal Vents" allows you to fully trap the excess heat in the cooler months and exhaust excess heat in the warmer months. This results in maximum energy efficiency while allowing you to maintain your favorite temperature as accurately as possible

Stage 5.EnerSmart Hard Cover & Polymer Base
Each and every hot tub is capped off, top and bottom. Hydropool's standard EnerSmart Hard Cover is a full 4" thick in the centre and tapers to 3" at the sides to allow water and melting snow to run off while trapping the heat inside the hot tub. The cover seals against the hot tub shell and locks tighly at four points on the cabinet. The bottom of a Hydropool Hot Tub is capped off with a heavy-duty sheet of PVC or "Polymer Base" that completely seals the footprint of the hot tub.

Seals and protects the top and bottom of the hot tub from the elements while keeping the heat in

Keeps small children, pets, pests, animals out of the hot tub

Prevents algae growth, ground moisture and the accumulation of leaves and other outdoor debris from entering the hot tub

Stage 6.Programmable Thermostat & Controls
Just like a modern furnace in today's homes, your Hydropool Hot Tub includes a programmable thermostat. Your Hydropool Hot Tub does not need to operate 24 hours per day. You simply select your desired water temperature and the hot tub warms the water up to this temperature. Once it reaches this temperature, the hot tub automatically turns off to conserve energy. Should the water drop below the set temperature, it temporarily turns back on to warm up the water and then turns off again.

The hot tubs circulating pump is turned on in the morning and in the evening to automatically clean and sanitize the hot tub water

A Hydropool Hot Tub filters 100% of its water every 15 minutes due to its innovative "Self Clean System". This dramatically reduces the amount of time that the circulating pump is on which further enhances the hot tubs energy efficiency

Hot Tub Energy Efficiency Made Simple

Hydropool Hot Tubs are engineered to be the most energy efficient hot tub built in the world. Our EnerSmart high density 2 lb. insulation along with our superior EnerSmart Hard Cover keep the heat in the hot tub and the cold out! Combine this with our innovative method of capturing the heat from our operating system and our programmable controls and you can enjoy the benefits of hot water and hydrotherapy for just a few cents per day!
