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.

There are now some hot tubs that comply with these new regulations or have since complied with manufacturing changes, Softub is a first in the Hot Tub Industry considering its unique design, function and in its green industry standards that have been a part of the “Green Movement”, since its inception. Many states are now adopting the CEC standards and implementing these energy 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 - The state of California has one of the first governing body to adopt stringent energy efficiency guidelines for hot tubs. Now, like fuel economy standards for automobiles, all hot tubs sold in the state of California will be manufactured to meet a baseline energy usage level. You will find that all of the Softub models operate well under the required baselines for the units.

2. SmartChip Technology - Softub uses a patented Smartchip that can recognize low power situations and will then shut off your tub before damage occurs. It is also programmed with 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 - In a Hot Tub having sparkling clean water can be a head ache to achieve and very expensive. Softub uses less chemicals and all Softub units come with a built-in ozone system. In Softub’s the ozone is distributed evenly through all jets. You will find that other spas only utilize 1 jet as a delivery port. This patented system is what allows for cost effective ozone delivery throughout the entire body of water. Ozone attaches to dirty chlorine and oxidizes the contaminants and makes the chlorine fresh again, thus utilizing fewer chemicals and helping your pocket book too.

In conclusion we can see that Softub has many aspects that make it your green hot tub solution. It is Softub’s simplicity of operation, durability and true portability that are its biggest assets. If you enjoy the noise and splashing of 57 jets and waterfalls and sitting on a hard acrylic seat than Softub is not for you. However if you desire a quiet, theraputic experience than Softub just might be what you are looking for. 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 to overcome 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. And Softub is now considered the greenest hot tub in the market today.
