So, you’ve been doing your research on the various models and styles of home spas and have finally stumbled across the luxuries of a hybrid hot tub.

At this point, you may be wondering what exactly a hybrid is and what makes it different from other hot tubs, such as a plug n’ play or even a swim spa? Well, in this article we’re going to break down exactly what a hybrid hot tub is, and show you why it may be the ideal solution for your relaxation needs.

What Makes A Hybrid Hot Tub Different?

Hybrid hot tubs (which we’ll refer to as “hybrids”) are designed to not only equip your backyard paradise with the ultimate home leisure appliance, but to significantly decrease the cost of your monthly energy bill. This is because hybrids fall within a special category of hot tubs that follow strict energy efficiency guidelines.

For a hot tub to be classified as a “hybrid hot tub,” the spa itself must be at least 40% more efficient than the traditional hot tubs you may be familiar with.

What Are The Benefits Of A Hybrid Hot Tub And Why Should I Care?

Most hybrids come outfitted with everything you’d expect in a standard hot tub. In recent years, hybrid hot tubs have increased in popularity and become highly sought after by homeowners around the world looking for the ultimate home leisure experience.

To help you further understand the difference, here are some key factors that set hybrids apart from others.

1) Energy Efficient

The premier feature that sets a hybrid apart from traditional hot tubs is its energy efficiency.

To decrease energy consumption and achieve that “hybrid” status, many hybrid hot tubs may stop running the pump and turn off the spa entirely while idle. Alternatively, other innovative hybrid designs are able to maximize insulation levels by relocating the placement of the hot tub motor itself. This is often done by placing the motor under the external steps of the hot tub, instead of under the tank.

2) Cost-Effective Luxury

While maintenance and operational fees vary across hot tub models (depends on tank size, geographical location, quality, etc.), the operational costs for hybrid hot tubs are typically much lower than traditional hot tubs. Again, this primarily has to do with the energy efficiency of hybrids, subsequently lowering your monthly and overall electricity and hydro expenses.

3) The Same Amazing Features

The beauties of hybrid hot tubs pose virtually zero trade-offs when compared to their traditional counterparts. This means you don’t have to expect any sort of design or functional compromises for energy efficiency!
