Why Does My Hot Tub Take So Long to Heat Up?

If your hot tub is taking a long time to heat up, it usually means that there is some kind of inefficiency that is inhibiting the heating process. Neglecting hot tub service, failing to clean your tub, forgetting to cover your tub, and many other factors can lead to slow heat-up times.

Main Culprits Behind Slow Hot Tub Heating

  • Dirt Filters: Dirty filters can inhibit water flow throughout your tub. This means that water won’t be able to flow through your heater, resulting in slow heating times. 
  • Old Heater: An older heater will not be able to heat up nearly as efficiently as a new one. Usually, more energy is needed to reach the desired temperature, leading to high energy consumption along with slow heating. 
  • Wrong Hot Tub Cover: Failing to put on your hot tub cover or utilizing a poor-quality cover can increase heating times. A quality heatshield hot tub cover will help your water retain as much heat as possible so that the next time you turn on your tub, it won’t take as long to heat up. 
  • Cold Weather: If you live in a climate with harsh winters, it may simply take longer for your hot tub to heat up. If you plan on using your hot tub in the heart of winter, it is recommended that you allow ample heating time before hopping in your tub.
