How much does your hot tub cost to heat 24/7 a month
guardrail22:
I. Have a meter on the power to my 965L. 535 gallons. And the extra insulation package. Water temp set to 100F and filtering 2 hours out of 12. An hour north of Durham NC.
On a co-op with tiered rates. Since December when we got it, cold months about 500-550kwhrs at marginal rate 7.5 cents. So $35 or so.
Upcoming summer months rate goes up to 9.5 cents but kwhrs should come way down.

On another thread you are talking about not having enough chlorine with @ease. Part of your problem is most likely not enough filtration.

The only way to know is to meter your tub, not that complicated. A well insulated tub 20-30 per month average. Not so well insulated 50-60 or more.
13 bucks a month if you don't use it, keep it covered and turn the temp down to 70 and your local climate stays above 70 deg.

Thank you for all of your replies
The thing is , I live in the Midwest
If I was to heat it 24/7 But was only to keep it
At around 95 degrees when I’m not in it
How long would it take to get from 95 to 103-104
If it was too only take 1 hour to go from 95 to 103
Then I’d be fine with that . I’d prolly want to get in it
Once per day for around 25 minutes
Boy this forum is a godsend

On average I would say around 3 degrees an hour it takes to bring up the temp of the tub. I have a Bullfrog X7L that's less than a year old and I am willing to bet my tub is costing me around $60-100 a month extra keeping it between 101-103 degrees, 24/7 throughout the Michigan winter. That being said...We do use it almost every day for at least 30 minutes.
