When choosing a hot tub, it's easy to find the perfect size, features, and seating capacity. But one of the biggest factors in long-term ownership is energy efficiency.
That's why we've created our Energy-Saving Bundles, combining a Lay-Z-Spa hot tub with a Thermal Cover and Floor Protector to help maximise heat retention, reduce energy usage, and lower running costs.
Whether you're looking at a standard Lay-Z-Spa, an EnergySense® or ThermaCore™ hot tub, bundling the right thermal accessory like this, from day one, can help you run your hot tub in a more economical way.
Why heat retention matters
The majority of a hot tub's energy consumption comes from maintaining water temperature.
Every degree of heat lost through the water surface, side walls, or ground underneath the hot tub must be replaced by the heater. The more efficiently a hot tub retains heat, the less energy is needed to keep it ready for use.
That's where our Energy-Saving Bundle accessories come in.
What's in the bundle with the hot tub?
Double award-winning Thermal Cover
Designed to sit completely over the whole hot tub, the Lay-Z-Spa Thermal Cover creates an additional insulating barrier that helps reduce heat loss and evaporation.
In our testing, thermal covers have demonstrated energy savings of up to 40% compared to using a standard inflatable hot tub alone.
Benefits include:
- Improved heat retention
- Reduced evaporation
- Lower reheating demand
- Faster heat recovery after use
- Lower running costs
Lay-Z-Spa Floor Mat
While much of the focus is placed on heat escaping from the top of a spa, energy can also be lost through the base.
The Lay-Z-Spa Floor Protector adds an extra insulating layer between your hot tub and the ground, helping to minimise heat transfer and protect the spa from cold surfaces.
Benefits include:
- Reduced heat loss through the base
- Additional insulation from cold decking, patios, and paving
- Enhanced protection for your hot tub base
- Supports overall energy efficiency
How much could you actually save?
Based on our ongoing energy testing and average UK spring/autumn conditions, adding a Thermal Cover and Floor Protector can significantly reduce running costs.
Estimated Weekly Running Costs*
| Hot Tub Type | Hot Tub Only | Energy-Saving Bundle |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Inflatable | £9-£12 per week | £5.50-£8 per week |
| EnergySense® | £5-£7 per week | £4-£5.50 per week |
| ThermaCore™ | £4.50-£6 per week | £3.50-£5 per week |
*Estimated costs based on maintaining water temperature, filtration, and typical AirJet™ usage under average UK spring/autumn conditions. Excludes initial heat-up from cold. Actual costs will vary depending on electricity tariff, ambient temperature, usage habits, and model.
Why is the saving not more than this on EnergySense® and ThermaCore™ hot tubs with a cover and mat?
There is no such thing as 100% energy efficient, but these come close. Both these types of hot tubs already have highly effective thermal properties and reduce a lot of heat loss. The Thermal Cover and Floor mat is complementary to their efficiency and help reduce as much additional heat loss as possible. The results are very impressive, as detailed below.
EnergySense® + Energy-Saving Bundle
EnergySense® hot tubs feature advanced insulating materials built directly into the spa structure, helping reduce heat loss compared to standard inflatable hot tubs.
When combined with a Thermal Cover and Floor Protector, EnergySense® owners can benefit from even greater heat retention and lower ongoing energy consumption.
Benefits
- Up to 60% greater energy efficiency compared to standard inflatable hot tubs
- Reduced reheating requirements
- Lower weekly running costs
- Ideal for more frequent use
ThermaCore™ + Energy-Saving Bundle
ThermaCore™ takes energy efficiency even further with rigid foam insulation integrated as the actual hot tub structure.
Combined with a Thermal Cover and Floor Protector, ThermaCore™ offers the most energy-efficient Lay-Z-Spa ownership experience available.
Benefits
- Up to 80% greater energy efficiency compared to standard inflatable hot tubs
- Exceptional heat retention
- Reduced energy usage between sessions
- Lower running costs throughout the year
More than just energy savings
While lower energy consumption is a major advantage, there are other benefits to choosing and using a bundle.
- Faster heat recovery after use The less heat a hot tub loses, the quicker it returns to your desired temperature after a soak.
- Better year-round performance Additional insulation can help minimise the impact of cooler evenings and changing seasons.
- Greater convenience Keeping your Lay-Z-Spa warm and ready to use means less waiting and more time to relax.
- Better long-term value Getting the Thermal Cover and Floor Protector as part of a bundle ensures your Lay-Z-Spa is optimised for efficiency from day one.
