How the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® System and app can help you save money

The patented Jacuzzi® SmartTub® System is a great example of a hot tub smart phone app that can save you money. It can help you significantly reduce your costs through the use of advanced control and monitoring features—while also being extremely easy to use, whether you are steps away from your hot tub or thousands of miles away. Jacuzzi® SmartTub® is the brand’s patented, industry-first connected hot tub solution that provides remote monitoring and control through smart phones, smart devices, as well as Siri®1 and Alexa®1 wearables from anywhere in the world.

SmartTub® has intelligent features that are designed to minimize energy usage, ultimately saving you money without sacrificing your comfort. For example, the system’s Smart Heat mode allows you to maintain your hot tub’s optimal temperature and schedule heating during off-peak hours, so you can benefit from lower energy rates.

Exclusive to the SmartTub® System, the Smart Heat Mode allows you to set your spa schedule and desired temperature through your app. The system will also optimize heating your hot tub based on local weather, your spa volume, and insulation. With Smart Heat Mode, you can conserve energy, and thus lower your costs, by minimizing heating during idle times and intelligently pre-heating your hot tub before your next use.

Monitoring and frequency of use can also play a part in saving money through hot tub smart phone apps. The SmartTub® app features a monitoring tab, which offers multiple heating options such as “Smart”, “Auto”, “Day”, and “Night”. If you use your hot tub once or twice a week, this is ideal, as the Smart Heat Mode adapts to your lifestyle and helps you save money without sacrificing your comfort.

Another money-saving feature within the SmartTub® Smart Heat Mode is Vacation Mode, which helps conserve energy while you are away. Ultimately, the system’s Smart Heat Mode offers comfort, convenience, and conservation.

The SmartTub® app also features an Auto Schedule option, which learns your hot tub usage patterns and adjusts its settings to reduce energy consumption without compromising your hydrotherapy experience. This mode can help prepare your hot tub exactly to your liking, exactly when you need it. You can select recurring or one-time schedules, and your SmartTub® app will ensure your hot tub is ready when you are, without heating it unnecessarily.

You can even opt to have push notifications sent to your device as soon as your hot tub is ready. By scheduling your hot tub to heat up only during certain hours of use, you can avoid heating your hot tub when it is not scheduled for use, which can reduce your energy consumption and save you money.

Another money-saving element is the system’s Power Estimator report, which shows your energy savings and also estimates your carbon footprint. Your energy savings and reduction of energy costs are always at your fingertips, without sacrificing the enjoyment of your Jacuzzi® Hot Tub.

SmartTub® helps you stay informed and in control of your usage and energy consumption with Monthly Usage Reports, which can be accessed through the app. These reports provide comprehensive overviews of your hot tub’s usage patterns, energy consumption, and operational status from the previous month. This data can be enlightening, and ultimately help you optimize your hot tub settings for efficiency.

You can also plan maintenance and better understand your hot tub’s performance trends through the data provided in these reports. As you learn more about your hot tub usage through these reports, you can maintain more efficient operation and minimize your costs.

With the upgrade of Wireless Sensors, Your SmartTub® app can offer additional savings by providing you with important alerts and notifications. For example, the Spa Cover Sensor alerts you if you forgot to close your hot tub cover to ensure your hot tub stays insulated and secure. The Water Sensor protects your investment by detecting moisture near sensitive components, helping prevent damage to your hot tub and potentially saving you on costly repairs. The Drain and Refill Sensor also streamlines your maintenance by indicating when your hot tub is drained and refilled.

Other features, such as remote diagnostics and support can help you save money. You can easily connect with your local Jacuzzi® dealer at the touch of a button to address any concerns or issues. Your Jacuzzi® dealer can remotely run diagnostic tests, troubleshoot, and resolve an issue without the need to visit your home. This can save you money on an unnecessary service call to your home if the problem can be solved remotely.

Furthermore, early detection of a potential problem and getting to the root of an issue early can help save you money on repair or replacement costs. Identifying small problems before they evolve into costly repairs or replacements is one of the key ways that hot tub smart phone apps like SmartTub® can save you money.

While the SmartTub® System has a wide range of features to help you save money, it offers a variety of other benefits including:

· Full control of temperature, jets, and lights from afar

· Personalized water care recommendations

· Filtration and water care reminders

· Power outage notifications

Hot tub smart phone apps can help you save money allowing you to optimize your energy consumption and streamline your maintenance.
