Some spa systems feature an economy mode that heats water to a desired temperature only when the filtration cycles are about to run, cutting down on your electricity.

A hot tub enables you to add an aquatic retreat without increasing your taxes. As a portable aboveground unit, it does not add to your home’s taxable value.
