Do Hot Tubs Really Benefit from Full-Foam Insulation?

Last updated on November 11, 2022 by Sozo Staff Leave a Comment

Hot tub insulation is crucial and is perhaps the most essential component in determining the quality and lifetime of a hot tub. Hot tub insulation types might come with a lot of opinions and information which may tend to be misleading, just like everything else that comes with a significant price tag. Do your research up front before accepting the word of any individual or organization.

Leakage Problems

One disadvantage of buying a hot tub with full-foam insulation, according to some hot tub salespeople, is the difficulty of correcting leaks. Full-foam insulation does, however, lessen the likelihood of leaks; but, regardless of the kind of insulation used, a skilled technician should be able to find the problem and fix it.

The cost of repairs is by no means the decisive element when you are making your purchase, as it is with any high-quality, premium item. A higher quality item will naturally withstand normal wear and tear better. However, it is also true that repairing any equipment difficulties when dealing with a hot tub that has full-foam insulation would typically take more time and effort than with other types of hot tubs.

Rodent Issues

Although installing hot tub insulation might intuitively seem to increase the likelihood that rodents will establish a home in your hot tub cabinet case, this is actually not a normal problem. The synthetic materials used in a full-foam hot tub are not at all appealing to rodents and other wildlife; the kind of compact, warm home they seek will be more readily found elsewhere. Additionally, a full-foam hot tub has a layer of high-density foam sealing the bottom of the hot tub cabinet.

Overheating Concerns

Along with safeguarding the technology in the walls and cabinet surrounding your hot tub, full-foam insulation helps maintain the temperature of the water in the hot tub. The engineering and build quality of those components, rather than the insulation employed, are primarily responsible for any overheating problems. Regardless of the type of insulation employed, the likelihood of an overheated hot tub decreases as you go up the ladder with a higher quality (and thus more expensive) hot tub.

Proper Covers

Along with cabinet insulation, any reliable hot tub maker will also provide a high-quality cover. A base pan or plastic sheeting may be added by some to seal the bottom and lessen ground contact. However, they will also come with a pump shroud and blanket, which is more significant. For people who live in severely cold climates, a reflecting blanket for winter use will be useful, but it won’t keep the water actually hot. Your hot tub’s fitted cover is what will truly help maintain the water’s temperature while shielding it from dirt. You actually don’t need a floating blanket if you have a robust hot tub cover.

In the end, the density and kind of insulation employed in full-foam hot tubs also differ. Generally speaking, you will spend less on electricity and maintenance over the course of your spa’s lifetime if you invest more money up front on a well-insulated hot tub.
