How much does it cost to run a hot tub?
WITH summer now in full swing and the UK enjoying sizzling temperatures, you might be dreaming of getting your hands on one of the hottest garden accessories.
Hot tubs are now widely available at bargain prices, but there are some added costs you need to consider before splashing out on one.
Aside from the initial cost, which can range anywhere from £250 to over £20,000, heating and filling a hot tub can significantly drive up the cost of your energy and water bills.
You will need to hook it up to your energy supply to heat the water and activate the jets, while filling the tub usually requires over 1,000 litres of water.
When it comes to your energy bills, large hot tubs typically have power ratings starting from 2kW per hour, meaning they cost 54p and hour to run, according to USwitch.
If you left it running for nine hours every day that would cost you £4.86 each day, or around £34 every week.
If you’re planning on using the appliance in the colder months, you could end up forking out even more as it will take more energy to keep it hot against the outdoor temperature.
USwitch’s figures are based on the current energy price cap of £1,849 per year.
However, regulator Ofgem has announced the price cap is set to decrease from July 1 to £1,720 per year for a dual fuel household paying by direct debit, based on typical use.
This means the cost of running outdoor appliances such as hot tubs could go down from July.
As well as added electricity costs, you’ve also got to fill your hot tub.
Dorset Hot Tubs estimates that it will cost you around £1.50 each time you fill it up, based on roughly the 1,500-1,700 litres required.
So if you’re planning on filling it daily, that’s an extra £10.50 every week.
You’ll also need to make sure you’re keeping on top of maintenance and cleaning.
According to trading directory Checkatrade, the average cost of a hot tub clean and service is £225, which you’ll likely need to have once a year.
The cost of your new hot tub will depend on a number of factors, including its size and energy efficiency, the type of pump, and how often you use it.
You’ll also need to think about chemicals and replacement parts such as jets and thermostat.
How to cut the cost of your hot tub
While running a hot tub can be expensive, there are some steps you can take to keep down the costs.
Firstly, you should make sure to turn down the temperature of the water where you can, as the hotter the water is the more energy it will require.
Most people like to keep their tubs between 38 and 40 degrees, but each degree lower will save you around 10% of your total cost.
Make sure your cover is in good condition, as 60% of heat escapes through the surface of jacuzzis.
You can also buy extra insulation to keep the heat in – an investment that could be worth it in the long run as it will help keep your energy costs down.
You should also make sure you’re keeping your appliance clean, as your filter will have to work twice as hard if it’s dirty and becomes clogged.

CBS Sports makes major company-wide cuts including longtime NFL writer who says ‘my job is being eliminated’
PARAMOUNT Global job cuts have hit the CBS Sports division with one analyst announcing he’s been let go.
The company is cutting 3.5 per cent of staff from a workforce of more than 18,000.
And that includes CBS Sports, it has been confirmed.
NFL Draft analyst Chris Trapasso announced he has been let go by the network.
He had been with CBS since 2017, specializing in football.
But Trapasso wrote on X, “Recently got word my job at CBS Sports is being eliminated due to budget cuts.
He added, “Can’t thank my editors and co-workers at CBS Sports enough.
“I never took for granted giving NFL analysis on such a big platform. It was an awesome job I put everything into for eight seasons.
“And incredibly grateful for all of you for following here and reading my work on the site.”
The exact scale of the CBS Sports cuts are unclear.
But they come with parent company Paramount in talks over a merger with Skydance Media.
“We are taking the hard, but necessary steps to further streamline our organization starting this week,” Paramount Co-CEOs George Cheeks, Chris McCarthy and Brian Robbins wrote in a memo which was reported on by Reuters.
CBS shares Sunday afternoon NFL games with Fox.
The network showed Super Bowl LXIII in Las Vegas, Nevada in February 2024.
They also announced changes to their program schedule for the 2025 season.
Pregame show The NFL Today has to compete with Fox, ESPN and NFL Network’s own buildup programs.
CBS confirmed that the show will be going on the road for select games.
The hour-long program originates from the network’s New York City studio.
It follows the success of their broadcast from Orchard Park, New York last year.
The NFL Today team were at the Buffalo Bills’ clash with the Kansas City Chiefs.
An announcement read, “This season, The NFL Today will hit the road on select Sundays with live, on-site shows for some of CBS Sports’ most-anticipated games of the 2025 NFL slate.
“The guys will kick things off in Week 1 from Lambeau Field as the Packers host the Lions on September 7.
“Additional games and locations for The NFL Today on the road to be announced during the season.”

‘Gorgeous’ – Sandro Tonali’s stunning fiancee Juliette branded ‘most beautiful bride to be’ in elegant outfit on hen do
SANDRO TONALI’S stunning fiancee Juliette Pastore was branded the “most beautiful bride to be” while wearing an elegant outfit on her hen do.
The couple, both aged 25, got engaged in March after a heartwarming romance dating back to 2019.
Juliette showed off a stunning ring to followers as the pair, who briefly split before rekindling their romance in 2021, were congratulated by pals.
And now, Juliette has jetted off for her hen do ahead of the big day with Newcastle ace Tonali.
She wore an elegant white dress and matching shoes for a night on the town with friends.
Juliette first spent some time soaking up the sun at the beach.
And as dusk fell, she headed out for a night on the tiles.
One picture showed Juliette kissing a bottle of booze.
While in another she posed with pals at a glamorous restaurant.
And there were plenty of full glasses in sight as a waiter topped up their wine.
Fans were quick to congratulate Juliette on her upcoming nuptials.
One said: “Stupendous.”
Another declared: “So special.”
One noted: “Beautiful.”
Another added: “The most beautiful bride-to-be of them all.”
Juliette’s party comes amid reports linking former AC Milan star Tonali with a return to Italy.
It’s reckoned Juventus are interested in a £33million deal which would also see a player head the opposite way.
Ex-Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz and Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic have both been mentioned.
But Tonali is seen as a key player by Eddie Howe, who is unlikely to sanction an exit this summer.
