"How much will it cost me to run my hot tub?"This is one of the most frequently asked questions we hear from our customers. Three sided or little and no insulation versus Beachcomber 4WALL Protec insulation. If you're looking at energy savings, the amount of insulation in your hot tub is one of the biggest contributors to year round efficient running costs.

It is the main reason that Beachcomber stopped producing hot tubs with little or no foam insulation in the early 80's. During that time we went to the three wall insulation which is the industry standard today. In fact, we still recommend 3WALL insulation with the equipment under the cabinet in the manufacturing of our Beachcomber Portable models in a few specific installations. In the mid 80's during the energy crisis, Beachcomber had an even better idea and created Protec™, a new 4WALL™ insulation method. We re-engineered our equipment into an external step for more inside space allowing us the advantage of our 4WALL™ total insulation, giving you lower energy costs. We seal every nook and cranny with a special formulation of energy saving insulating foam-this includes all four sides and the bottom! This exclusive method of Protec™ combined with our PowerGuard™ Heatshield creates a vacuum seal, much like a thermos bottle, that locks in the heat for use in all seasons.
Some of our competitors claim that no insulation or a little is better than the Protec 4WALL insulation method. Would you buy a house from a contractor who recommends only a little or no insulation in your new house? Our experience as manufacturers and consumers tells us that the maximum amount of insulation achieves the lowest operation costs, and it has less impact on the environment. Besides, the insulation also gives you an added bonus- it keeps your tub at the right temperature in extreme summer heat by preventing hot tub temperature heat creeping!
