Hot Tub Manufacturing has never been considered a GREEN industry before. That is why most Hot tub companies just manufacture hot tubs, spray fiberglass and resins, use plastics and steel without much regard for the environment, except to follow EPA guidelines. Then came the "The California Energy Commission (CEC)". They have some of the most rigid standards in the USA and they monitor energy efficiency. They recently passed a bill called "title 20", which sets a standard amount of allowable energy used by a portable spa/hot tub. The amount of allowable energy per the new guidelines, was not met by 65% of hot tub manufacturers who failed an independent study done by California Polytechnic State University. Softub, a 20 year old company, was the only manufacturer to pass these new guidelines without having to make any changes to its manufacturing process.
As is to be expected, there are now more and more hot tubs that are coming into compliance with these new stricter regulations or have since complied with manufacturing changes. Softub lead the way in the Hot Tub Industry because of its unique design, function and in its already green industry standards. Softub has been a part of the "Green Movement", since its inception. Many states are now adopting the CEC standards and implementing these energy requirements, does your hot tub meet those requirements?
Softub, a soft sided hot tub, was formed in'85 is one of the leading spa manufacturers worldwide and minimal changes to the product over the years including our "patented ozone water sanitation system" and our "smart chip power monitoring system" have added to this green product to make it the most energy efficient hot tub on the market. Below are some reasons that Softub has been a Green Leader in the hot tub industry:
1. Energy Efficiency is Softubs strong point - While the state of California was the first governing body to adopt energy efficiency guidelines for hot tubs. All Softub models have long operated well under the required baselines for the units. These guidelines are similar to fuel economy standards for automobiles so now all hot tubs sold in the state of California and soon other states as well, must meet a baseline energy usage level.
2. SmartChip Technology - The patented Softub Smartchip is able to recognize low power events, such as brown outs and will and shut off your tub before any damage occurs. Along with this is also programmed to have a patented energy efficiency system. When the Smartchip senses a voltage drop it will shut down the pump. It will continue to monitor the in-coming power and will automatically restart the spa when the voltage returns to a normal level. In the event of a power outage, Smartchip automatically resets at 100 degrees. The patented "Energy Efficiency Program" monitors the filtration system. If the system filtrates during standard heating cycles, the programmed filter cycles are by-passed to save energy. If adequate filtration does not occur during heat cycles, the automatic filter cycles occur. Thanks to the Softub Smartchip, you can run all electrical appliances normally, without fear of damaging your spa or other household appliances.
3. Softub Patented Ozone Water Oxidizing System - having sparkling clean water and using less chemicals has always been the challenge for the hot tub owner. With each Softub unit comes a built-in ozone system. In Softub's, ozone is distributed evenly through all jets. You will find that other spas will only utilize 1 jet as a delivery port. Softubs system then is the only method that controls ozone delivery throughout the entire body of water. Ozone is helpful because it attaches to dirty chlorine and oxidizes the contaminant and makes the chlorine new again, thus utilizing fewer chemicals and fewer dollars for chemical purchases.
In summary, Softub has many green aspects, but simplicity of operation, durability and true portability are its biggest assets. If you enjoy a good soak rather than the noise and splashing of 57 jets and waterfalls, Softub is your tub of choice. Most hot tubs require 220 v 50Amp service that can cost between $800 and $2200 dollars to install, they require special foundations costing from $400 to $800 and the bigger the tub, the more maintenance. Softub was designed around all the complaints of hot tub users and to this day, is the most advanced hot tub on the market for therapy and/or pleasure. Softub is also now considered to be the hot tub industries greenest tub. - 30287
