Testing conducted in a Controlled Environmental Chamber using continuous Data Acquisition monitoring equipment including Continuous Progression Kilowatt Recording Meters, Voltage Measurement probes, Current Measurement probes, Relative Humidity Chamber Measurement probes and Thermocouple probes. All equipment was rigorously calibrated to ensure data accuracy.
Our Hot Tubs are California Energy Commission (CEC) Compliant
All of our models are certified by the California Energy Commission (CEC)
in accordance with California law. This ensures the most energy efficient
spa with the least environmental impact. We use the same closed-cell polyurethane
foam used to insulate commercial freezers and the result is lower costs on
