I did some infrared observations with an electrical cooperative assessment guy on one of my tubs and the stat seems close to true.

Would you guys recommend getting one of those floating solar cover looking things to put on top of the water when not in use?

I've seen people commented that they like them, I'm a creature of convenience and hated dealing with it on mine even knowing it helps a bit with insulation and cover life. In the end they're a decent idea if you don't mind them as long as its a secondary line of defense and not a justification to get a lesser insulated spa because it doesn't make a huge difference (IMHO).

Agreed. I think if you do a ROI you will find a break even.
