How energy efficient and eco-friendly are Riptide Hot Tubs?

Energy Efficient by Design

Riptide spas are the most energy efficient hot tubs on the market today, because of a few key factors:

• Multiple layers of foam inside the spa cabinet which reduce heat loss to a minimum
• Low current SilentFlo pumps which give round the clock filtration, whilst consuming less energy than a domestic 75W light bulb
• Equipment compartment specially laid out to route warm air from running gear back into the system to reduce energy required heat the water.
• Tailored to fit covers with high density foam which creates a seal against the hot tub shell, minimising heat loss
• Spa water temperature is kept at a regular temperature, which stops an energy wasting cooling and heating cycle

Natural Water Care Options

The environmentally friendly integrated water care systems inside Riptide hot tubs ensure that spa water is kept much cleaner, for much longer. this is due to certain design features, including..

• Riptide hot tubs feature 100% water filtration, meaning no water passes through the system without passing through the filter
• Filters with Tri-X technology, a patented design which utilises an enhanced 3D surface area, boosting filtration potential and extending filter life
• Integrated ozone system by Freshwater which neutralises any water contaminants, which greatly reduced the need for harsh and expensive chemicals to sanitise water
• Optional continuous silver ion based FreshWater Ag+® sanitation system, which uses cutting edge technology to sanitise spa water using environmentally sound methods, without chlorine
• Optional AutoFresh® water care setup which uses the latest technology to give another zero-chlorine sanitising option for your spa water

Minimising Waste

Riptide is always striving to find new ways of lessening the impact their activities have on the environment, by minimising waste, particularly during the manufacturing process, these include..

• Powering manufacturing using their own on-location generators, which lessen the load on the local power grid
• Giving back waste and excess material used in hot tub sidings given to suppliers, for further use and recycling
• Spare material after forming Riptide hot tub shells ground and reused by suppliers
• Waste metals taken to a recycling depot to be reused in new and useful items
• All brochures and marketing printed on recycled paper
