Best cold weather hot tun. brand and model
DW:
Looking into buying a new hot tub but i want to get a unit that will maintain temp best in 0-10 degree temperatures. Hard to get good information on this. 6K heater would probably assure temp hold, but it looks like those have been phased out in favor of 4k. Local dealers have marquis,caldera, hot spring, bull frog,and signature-clearwater. I appreciate any input on this topic.
BullFrogSpasMN:
Stick to the first 4 brands on your list, they all offer full foam insulation, sealed bottoms (depending on model on some brands) and will all be energy efficient. Narrow it down by budget and features you are looking for and then do a wet test if possible...4kw will be just fine for you unless you live in the Artic, I've sold hundreds of tubs with 4kw heaters in Minnesota without issue so you shouldn't have to worry about that. Good Luck!

Left the Lid on my Marquis open for a few days. Was -25C (-13F). Was open for about 36 hours before it was noticed. It had dropped from the set of 102f to 99f but was holding steady.Lid was half closed by my son thinking I was going back out to put chemicals in.. All said it held up fine...
It is a new Marquis Epic bought back in November... As said above any tub with full foam should be fine

That's pretty impressive performance for the heater. Have you got your hydro bill yet?
DW:
Thanks for the input. HOw does the fiber core insulation compare to the full foam. Seems like it would be easier for repairs, but sounds like mice would love it. Not sure if it has the same r value. Do circulation pumps only run when the jets are off? I'm new on here and havea lot of random questions.
