Eco Running Costs
Running costs are a big consideration when choosing the right Hot Tub.
The table below demonstrates how the Cotswold Eco Hot Tub initial purchase price and its running cost is much more affordable than other competitor options.
Electric Hot Tubs, due to the long heat up times, must be left on in-between use.
The reported cost of running the electric Hot Tub, once up to temperature, is up to £10.00 per day.
In contrast, the Cotswold Eco Wood Fired Hot Tubs require no electricity until you make the decision to put the LED lights and bubbles on!
Made of the highest quality materials and built to last with its robust design of wood and fibreglass. A great investment, providing many years of reliable service.
