Welcome to our forum.
Coming from me this will be biased, but the Hotspring Spas are VERY well insulated.
I too am from a cold region (central Alberta) and there are a number of quality spas designed to operate well in this climate.Beachcomber, Arctic, Sundance, Jacuzzi, etc. are the top of my list out here but there are others. Where are you and what's available to you locally? [/list] Steve
Steve, I would like to add Bullfrog to the well insulated list. Our tub has never cost us more then $25 in the winter to run. Now we are not in Alberta or Thunder Bay but it does get cold heresjeanine, Steve's list is spot on and good advise. Check with your local dealers and stick to a well made, well known tub and a well established dealer and you should be OK
"Full Foam" is a very loosely used term with many spa manufactures. Most dealers know first hand that not every spa that is stated as "Full Foam" is really Fully Foam insulated. But lets save that for someone else's thread shall we? Btw: I used the word "VERY" because I didn't want to come out saying that Hotsprings are the most insulated spas in the industry because I wanted to give a general helpful answer and let them know that Hotspring spas are very well insulated. No bashing or overstating. just trying to help
And lastly, please be honest and tell me which one is the best insulated??? We live in the north and it will get really cold in the winter...with some days at 20-40 below zero. Thanks.SJeanine
