Ask 'Dr. Spa' Q & A Message Board

I can tell you that the insulation is bad because I did the original post in this thread almost a year ago. Part of it is the energy rates that are tiered here in California. The highest bill I have had in one month for the spa only was $119 and I did the comparison over the same month prior year. Last month my total bill was $190 which was great, I had not seen a bill under 3 or 4 hundred for months. I will need to add insulation this winter though. I was thinking foam board because there is not a lot of room to add fiberglass and I did not want it to get into the pumps. I read Johns post about putting the insulation in garbage bags but I would literally need to put it sandwich bags to get in between all of the hoses and equipment. Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated. Anyway the bottom line is they are expensive to run. (although I am not buying any spa set at a constant 104 during a winter month would cost 30-40 a month) I have not had any problems with it, knock on wood, and it is great to sit in.
