How Much Does It Cost To Run a Lay-Z-Spa?Â
The cost of running a Lay-Z-Spa hot tub depends a lot on each user and how it is used. Enjoying a Lay-Z-Spa at the weekend only can actually cost you less than a takeaway or a trip to the cinema for two.
It is important to remember that no two Lay-Z-Spa users are the same and many factors can affect the running costs from the size of the Lay-Z-Spa and its volume of water to sheltered or unsheltered positioning and frequency of use to the fluctuation of outside temperatures and individual energy tariffs.
Therefore, the running costs below are simply a guide and calculated based on the current average energy prices.Â
