How much does its cost to run a RotoSpa Hot Tub in the UK?
Concerned about the cost of running a hot tub in the UK? You might have heard figures around £10 per day, which can quickly add up.

Our hot tubs are uniquely designed for UK homes and holiday parks, featuring dual-shot moulding and Ultra-High Blow Polyethylene foam insulation—making them the most energy-efficient on the market. This means the daily running costs of our hot tubs are impressively low, and with our integrated heat pumps, these costs can be reduced even further.
