So, you just ordered your first hot tub, or maybe yours is just not very energy efficient, and now you\u2019re wondering, \u201cdo I need a hot tub insulation pad?\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what I\u2019ve learned:<\/p>\n

As a general rule, an insulated pad for a hot tub is not necessary except for inflatable hot tubs. However, hot tubs being placed on decks could benefit from an insulated pad to prevent heat loss through the deck boards.<\/b><\/p>\n

In this article, I look at the alternative types of pads and their uses. When you absolutely need an insulated pad under your tub and when it really isn\u2019t worth the effort.<\/p>\n

Is a hot tub pad necessary?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A stable and level hot tub pad is necessary for the structural integrity of the hot tub frame and shell. Otherwise, stress fractures could occur due to uneven weight distribution.<\/b><\/p>\n

That being said, if you have a flat concrete back patio that is totally level, there\u2019s no reason it couldn\u2019t just sit directly on the concrete.<\/p>\n

Pavers also don\u2019t necessarily require an additional pad.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have a plug \u2018n\u2019 play hot tub \u2013 the type you plug into your regular outlet \u2013 the chances are it is not very well insulated, and you will find that an insulation pad is great at reducing heat loss through the ground.<\/p>\n

The same applies to inflatable spas (see more on this below).<\/p>\n

Timber decks and gravel surfaces can damage the base of your hot tub if you have to drag it around to position it. Additionally, with decks, there can be heat loss both since it\u2019s off the ground and since there are gaps in between the deck boards.<\/p>\n

So, an insulated pad is a good idea in those cases too.<\/b><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve placed your hot tub on a concrete base, which I highly recommend, you probably don\u2019t need a pad underneath the tub, but it will help in other ways.<\/p>\n

A hot tub pad will reduce noise by isolating the tub from the surface underneath as it can minimize vibrations.<\/p>\n

There are other ways of reducing noise<\/b> \u2013 in fact, I wrote a recent article<\/b> on this topic, and you can read it here on my site by clicking on the link.<\/p>\n

The main cause of hot tub noise is vibration, so the more you can reduce this, the quieter it becomes. Vibration comes from the pump, so when this kicks in during the night to circulate the water, it can potentially be quite a nuisance to any nearby neighbors.<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t do anything about vibration, you can mask the noise.<\/p>\n

A universal compressor sound blanket can reduce the noise from the pump by around 5dB. This may not sound a lot, but because of the nature of sound, a reduction of 3dB almost halves the sound intensity, and 5dB by almost 70%, so this will make a difference.

Hot tub pad in today that\u2019s a plus pic.twitter.com\/ETBcxvs7zH<\/p>\n

Is a hot tub pad necessary for an inflatable hot tub?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A hot tub pad, ideally an insulated one, is essential for inflatable hot tubs. It helps protect the underside from puncture and also prevents heat loss into the ground.<\/b><\/p>\n

Inflatable hot tubs are a great introduction to the world of spas and Jacuzzis, but they have their faults. Number 1 is, they don\u2019t hold the heat in very well.<\/p>\n

With only two layers of vinyl and around 18 inches of air between them, there isn\u2019t much to stop the heat from escaping through the sides. And even if the tub comes with a lid, these are usually thin and poorly insulated.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t despair; there are things you can do to improve this, particularly if you want to use your hot tub in the cooler months. One of them is to place the tub on an insulated pad or groundsheet.<\/p>\n

First off, you need to make sure you have a firm base on which to sit your hot tub in.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Now, your hot tub doesn\u2019t have to sit on a concrete base. In a recent article<\/b>, I pointed out the alternatives, which you can read about here on my site by clicking the link.<\/p>\n

But the key thing is to provide a sturdy level base.<\/p>\n

Having prepared your base, lay your insulation pad over this and install your newly arrived hot tub. If you are concerned about heat loss, take a look at your lid. Is it the best you can get? Does the retailer have better alternatives?<\/p>\n

If you went for the cheapest, you might want to reconsider if you intend to use your hot tub in wintertime.<\/p>\n

As for the walls, aside from encasing your tub in insulating material, there\u2019s not much else you can do. But hey, this is your first foray into hot-tubbing \u2013 next time, you can upgrade to something better.

When shopping for a hot tub, you should always look for a model that has full-foam insulation. When a hot tub lacks proper insulation, the equipment will have to work harder to generate more heat and properly distribute it throughout the water pic.twitter.com\/3P8CJhuzuj<\/p>\n

\u2014 D Spa Man (@D_spaman) May 12, 2020<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

How do you insulate the bottom of a hot tub?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Improve the insulation to the bottom of a hot tub by placing it on an insulated mat or pad. But for existing hot tubs, the best option is to use spray foam insulation to all reachable areas once the side panels are off.<\/b><\/p>\n

Cheap hot tubs are generally not well insulated when they leave the factory.<\/p>\n

This is because most people look at the size and number of jets and then, of course, the price. Insulation just doesn\u2019t have that wow factor.<\/p>\n

At the low end of the market, the hot tub cabinet is only partially filled with insulation, which is usually a urethane spray foam on the shell of the tub. To improve on this, you can either add more foam or use a thermal wrap, either inside or outside the cabinet.<\/p>\n

More expensive hot tubs have full-foam insulation that fills the whole cabinet, including the pump and plumbing.<\/p>\n

This helps make the hot tub more energy efficient while reducing vibration and noise. There\u2019s nothing more you can do to improve on this.<\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re adding to the insulation, here are a couple of don\u2019ts:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Don\u2019t use spray insulation on the motor.<\/b> This gets hot, and it needs to be able to lose that heat, or it will burn out.<\/li>\n
  • Don\u2019t spray over any controls<\/b> or other things that you might need to access for maintenance.<\/li>\n
  • Don\u2019t cover the vents in the cabinet.<\/b> These are there for a purpose.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n

    Over the long run, investing in an energy efficient hot tub can save you money. Look for hot tubs with good insulation for the shell and plumbing, as well as a custom-fit spa cover to form an insulated barrier over the top. pic.twitter.com\/NEWDQzrnCg<\/p>\n

    Is it worth moving an existing hot tub to insulate underneath?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    It can be worth moving an inexpensive plug \u2018n\u2019 play hot tub that is likely poorly insulated to place an insulated pad underneath. However, for most hot tubs, the benefit gained from a pad is really not worth the effort.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

    There are other things you should look at to improve the insulation and reduce heat loss from your hot tub.<\/p>\n

    But it is certainly advisable for inflatable hot tubs, which can easily be moved once drained. In the section above, I mentioned foam insulation and thermal wrap, but what is the best?<\/p>\n

    If it is purely down to how well the insulation retains the heat, foam insulation is by far the most efficient, but thermal wrap, which can be in the form of rigid Styrofoam or polystyrene, is more convenient if you want to fix it inside the cabinet.<\/p>\n

    The lid is where you lose most heat, and this is one of the easiest fixes.<\/b><\/p>\n

    If you want to save yourself some money on running costs, invest in a new, well-insulated lid but make sure it\u2019s the right size for your hot tub.<\/p>\n

    A good, tight fit is essential.<\/b><\/p>\n

    If you want to read more about the types of insulation for your hot tub, check out this recent article<\/b>. I got into the best ways to add insulation, and I included a step-by-step walkthrough of what I did to my hot tub.<\/p>\n

    we leveled all this gravel and put together a mat for the HOT TUB that is on its way pic.twitter.com\/K691RRczok<\/p>\n

    What is the best insulation pad to put under a hot tub?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    The best after-market insulated hot tub pad is the Confer SP3248 Handi Spa pad. But many hot tub manufacturers, particularly in the inflatable market, supply mats to suit their own brand. Made to fit the exact size of the hot tub, these are often the best pads to go for.<\/b><\/p>\n

    CLICK HERE<\/b> to see the Confer pad on Amazon.<\/b><\/p>\n

    Some are flexible mats, providing insulation but little structural support. Others are rigid interlocking tiles that make up the size and shape you want.<\/p>\n

    But if you\u2019re looking for that bit of extra rigidity and perhaps a larger area to cover, there are a few alternatives available that are worth considering.<\/p>\n

    As I mentioned, one that I love, and it does have some excellent reviews, is the Confer SP3248 Handi Spa on Amazon<\/b>. Made from high-density polyethylene resin, this pad comes in convenient 32\u201d x 46\u201d sections that are easily clipped together to form a base virtually any size you want.<\/p>\n

    The pads are durable, waterproof, and so rigid, you don\u2019t even need a concrete base.<\/p>\n

    Just an area of flat, even, and firm ground will be enough to support your hot tub. I would still recommend concrete pavers or compacted gravel at least. Certainly not on sand \u2013 your hot tub will sink into it!<\/p>\n

    The packaging seems a bit odd, though. You get 3 in a pack \u2013 that\u2019s not even square! So, you will need 2 packs to cover an area of 8\u2019 x 8\u2019 and 3 packs for 8\u2019 x 12\u2019.<\/p>\n

    Did I cover all you wanted to know about using a hot tub insulation pad?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    It won\u2019t do any harm sitting your hot tub on an insulating pad, but the benefits are much greater on smaller, poorly insulated tubs and inflatable spas.<\/p>\n

    Pads vary from flexible mats to rigid panels, so I hope in this article you\u2019ve learned enough to decide what is best for you, and even if it\u2019s worth installing a pad at all.<\/p>\n
