We purchased a Freeflow Spa around 8 years ago from the Albany Showroom after meeting Verla. She was so very knowledgeable and gave us so much confidence in the quality of the product. It turned out to be a great decision. That spa saw us survive multiple COVID lockdowns and was so easy to maintain. It cost us very little in power. When we moved house we left the Excusion there and inherited one. It was a cheap spa, noisy, smelly and expensive to run. We missed our Hot Spring. As our kids are now older we decided to treat ourself to a smaller spa from the Highlife Range and went with the Jetsetter LX. We have no regrets. The motor massage is spectacular, we love the Salt System and don’t need shower after a spa anymore. The IQ system is very clever and user friendly. We’re stoked with the upgrade and couldn’t be happier with Hot Spring. In our opinion it’s been worth the investment.

We made the best decision to own our new Relay Hot Springs Spa. We have used it every day since purchase. Added bonus, our teen is staying around home more with friends using the spa. Getting the spa into a tricky position went very smoothly, all organised by Hot Springs staff. The staff are super friendly and helpful and on call to answer any queries. Thanks!

And Beatrix at customer service also absolutely amazing and we can't fault her. Some of the best customer service we have have experienced all with patience, friendleness, professionalism and a felt genuineness. Thanks

A great purchasing experience. Our house had challenging access for delivery. Sales staff and delivery team talked us through all the issues in a professional and practical way, resulting in a successful and stress free install! The delivery teams certainly know what they are doing! Sales staff also took calls on their day off to ease our concerns.

Best service, knowledgeable and friendly. Verla has helped us from the very beginning, always keen to educate and share her tips. We love out Hot Springs Spa.

We recently purchased a spa from the limelight series. Theresa was the salesperson/ contact for us. We have had exemplary service and communication throughout the sales, delivery and setup process.
I would have no hesitation in recommending HotSpring spa’s and the team at the Albany branch.

Consistently good service since we purchased our Hot Spring Spa 16 years ago. Love our spa!

Having never owned a spa pool we were a bit nervous about what exactly would suit. Verla and the team at Albany Hot Spring Spa Pools were great; showed us the options, gave us good advice and basicllay sorted it for us - we chose an Azure spa. To say we are happy is an understatement, this spa has everything we wanted and more, is easy to operate and a pleasure to own...and sheer luxury to soak in with a nice cup of tea!

Amazing! We’re had our spa for over 12 years and still love it!
How much does a spa pool cost to run?
Sure, Hot Spring spa pools can be powered for as little as $1* a day, but what will your preferred model cost?
The energy your spa uses depends on a variety of factors, including the size and features of your chosen spa model, the temperature you set, how frequently you soak, the climate of your area and the cost of your electricity (although this can be offset if you have access to an alternative energy source like solar power).
Looking to get a basic idea of the cost to run a Hot Spring spa? Check out the energy calculator above! We have designed this calculator to give a basic estimate of your spa pool energy consumption over the course of a month, which can help guide you on the right spa pool for your situation.
*May depend on local rates
No matter which Hot Spring spa pool you choose, you can be confident that you won’t just enjoy a high quality, innovative, long-lasting and ultra-luxurious machine, but the most energy efficient model on the market.
A greener choice
By choosing a Hot Spring spa pool you’ll enjoy significant hip pocket savings over the lifetime of the machine. You’ll also be helping to save the stunning nature that New Zealand is famous for.
We care about protecting the natural resources of our beautiful country. It is one of the main drivers in our quest to engineer the most energy efficient spa pools in New Zealand. We want to ensure that the next generation of Kiwis gets to enjoy our stunning nature, including the geothermal pools that formed the inspiration for the Hot Spring brand.
As the independent testing has proven, a Hot Spring spa pool will use less power, and will therefore demand fewer resources, than any other brand on the market.
Built for efficiency from the ground up
How do luxurious and feature-packed Hot Spring spa pools also offer owners the lowest running costs on the New Zealand market? The secret is in bringing an efficiency mindset to every aspect of spa pool design and manufacturing. It’s something we call our Energy Smart® system.
This system is built on two central pillars:
1. High quality insulation
The most important factor in the energy efficiency of a spa pool is preventing heat from escaping. Hot Spring insulation is designed to keep the warmth in, which reduces the power used by the heater. At Hot Spring we also offer fully insulated covers that form a perfect seal around the lip of your spa, avoiding the heat leakage common in other brands.
2. Innovative equipment
At Hot Spring we’ve got a reputation for offering an extensive array of features in our spa pools. What’s less recognised is the degree of energy efficiency innovation that each spa pool boasts, like our SilentFlo 5000 system that keeps the water constantly moving while using less power than a 40W light bulb, and our hot air induction jets that transfer otherwise wasted latent heat from internal equipment back into the water.

- The temperature data for each region is calculated as an annual mean average. Please note that actual running costs are likely to decrease during the summer months and increase during the cooler winter months.
- The mean average temperatures have been sourced from NIWA (National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research) in New Zealand (https://niwa.co.nz) and the Bureau of Meteorology in Australia (http://www.bom.gov.au).
- kWh prices have been sourced from Canstar Blue in Australia (https://www.canstarblue.com), and Canstar Blue in New Zealand (https://www.canstarblue.co.nz).
- Calculations are based on simulated daily use as per the ‘testing summary’ in point seven.
- While every effort has been made to verify the data used in the calculations, variances in kWh prices, extended use, and weather conditions may impact the accuracy of the outputs.
- Testing summary
- Tests were carried out by Watkins Manufacturing Corporation, Vista, California, USA in their large environmental chamber
- The average measured air temperature was 14.8 degrees centigrade for the duration of the test
- The spa controller temperature was set at 38.7 degrees centigrade for the duration of the test
- The duration of the test was 24 hours
- The test simulated consumer usage with lights and jets engaged for 15 minutes with the spa pool cover left off for a further 15 minutes.
- During the entire testing period the circulation pump and ozone generator were operating, meaning the water was continually circulated and sanitised
