Insulation
Early full-foam hot tubs were filled with a single density of foam. Some are still manufactured this way because spraying a single density of foam in the cabinet is a less expensive and less labor intensive manufacturing process than adding multiple layers of different kinds of foam. Foam density varies, and the higher the density, the better the insulating value. Single density foam spas cannot be filled with the highest density of foam because later on, foam expansion would cause damage to the cabinet.
In a multi-density full-foam hot tub, foams of various densities are sprayed in layers, filling the cabinet and surrounding the plumbing.
Hot Spring multi-density foam models are sprayed with two different densities of foams on the shell, four different densities in the cabinet, and sealed with extremely dense foam on the bottom. Each layer is specifically engineered to provide structural support in addition to insulation. The combination also minimizes expansion and contraction. The end result is the best possible insulation, leading to the lowest possible operating costs.
HOT TUB INSULATION COMPARISON CHART
| Type of hot tub insulation | Example | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| No insulation | Inflatable hot tub | Cheap | Vulnerable to freezing, expensive to run |
| Partial foam | Rotationally molded spa | Purchase price on the low end; may be acceptable in warmer climates | Vulnerable to freezing, more expensive to run than full foam |
| Thermal wrap | Swim spa | Provides basic insulation for a lower temp heated pool | Cannot meet the demands of a hot tub |
| Full Foam | Modern mid quality spa brands | Insulation fills the cabinet and eliminates air flow that allows heat to escape | Single density full foam does not provide greatest energy efficiency. Higher density can’t be used because of expansion. |
| FiberCor® | Modern top quality spas, including HotSpring Spas | Loose, wool-like fibers provide the same insulation value as high density polyurethane foam, but are easy to remove when repair is needed | Less insulation value than multi-density full foam |
