What is the power consumption of the Balboa heater?

Are you curious about how much power an electric Ducktub with Balboa system consumes? That makes sense, because you naturally want to relax without spending too much money on your energy bill. Here we explain approximately what to expect and what to take into account.

Consumption during heating

When you first fill the Ducktub and the water needs to be heated, the Balboa system consumes an average 20 kWh per day. This is because the system requires a lot of energy to warm up the cold water.

Consumption when the Ducktub is warm

Once the water is at the desired temperature, the power consumption decreases considerably. On average, this is then: 6 to 8 kWh per day. This is sufficient to maintain the water level and keep the Ducktub nice and warm before use.

Seasonality

Please note that these are averages. Actual consumption depends heavily on the outside temperature and the insulation of your hot tub.

• In the winter the system will use more energy to keep the cold water warm.
• In the summer less energy is needed because the water naturally stays warmer.

Smart energy savings

Do you want to prevent your energy bill from becoming unnecessarily high? A few tips:

• Always place a well-insulated cover on the Ducktub when not in use.
• Lower the temperature if you don't use it for a few days.
• Make sure the hot tub is in a sheltered area so that heat is less likely to be lost.

Lastly

With an electric Ducktub, you can enjoy optimal comfort and convenience. The Balboa system's power consumption is clear and with a few smart choices, you can keep costs under control.
