Understanding these Ease, Convenience, and Energy-Saving Facets

Now that you’ve received an overview of the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® System, it’s time to dial in to two of the features that set the SmartTub® System apart when it comes to energy management—On-Peak and Off-Peak scheduling.

On-Peak and Off-Peak features for excellent energy efficiency

The On-Peak and Off-Peak features are part of the SmartTub® System’s broader approach to making your hot tub experience more energy-efficient. These features allow you to control when your hot tub is using the most energy, ensuring you’re not wasting power during high-cost or peak-demand times.

What is the On-Peak feature?

The On-Peak feature refers to the periods when electricity usage is at its highest demand, typically during the day or evening when most households are using power for things like air conditioning, appliances, and lighting. In many regions, electricity costs more during these peak demand times because the grid is under pressure, and energy suppliers must work harder to meet the demand.

With the On-Peak feature of your Jacuzzi® SmartTub® System, you can manage when your hot tub uses energy during these high-cost times. You have the option to set a schedule to minimize or avoid using energy during these periods. This could include setting your hot tub’s heating or filtration cycles to run at different times of the day or night, so they’re not working at the same time as other high-energy-consuming activities in your home.

What are the benefits of the On-Peak feature?

There are many benefits of using the SmartTub® On-Peak feature, such as:

Cost savings—By avoiding or mitigating your energy usage during peak times, you can reduce your electricity costs. Depending on where you live, peak-hour energy charges can be significantly higher than off-peak rates.

Grid support—By spreading out your energy usage, you can help reduce the strain on the electrical grid, especially during times of high demand.

Better control—Having the ability to schedule your hot tub’s energy use during non-peak hours gives you more control over your household’s overall energy consumption.

What is the Off-Peak feature?

The SmartTub® Off-Peak feature refers to the times when energy demand is lower—often late at night or early in the morning. During these periods, electricity is typically less expensive, and energy suppliers are not under the same strain to meet demand. The Off-Peak feature of the SmartTub® System is designed to help you optimize your hot tub’s energy consumption during these cheaper, lower-demand periods.

With the Off-Peak feature, you can schedule your hot tub’s heating and filtration cycles to run when energy is most affordable. The system can automatically adjust the operation of your hot tub to ensure that it runs more efficiently during these times. This not only saves you money, but also reduces your environmental footprint by using less energy when it’s most readily available.

What are the benefits of the Off-Peak feature?

There are multiple perks to using the SmartTub® Off-Peak feature, including:

Lower utility bills—By shifting your hot tub’s energy usage to off-peak times, you can take advantage of lower electricity rates, which can lead to significant cost savings.

Reduced environmental impact—Using energy during off-peak hours, when the demand for electricity is lower, helps to reduce your overall carbon footprint.

Less stress on the grid—Just as with the On-Peak feature, using energy during off-peak times can help reduce the load on the power grid, which contributes to more sustainable energy consumption overall.

How to use the On-Peak and Off-Peak features

One of the most convenient aspects of the SmartTub® System is its user-friendly interface. Here’s how you can use the On-Peak and Off-Peak features:

Download the SmartTub® app: First, you’ll need to download the SmartTub® app, which is available for both iOS and Android devices. Once the app is installed, you’ll be able to connect it to your Jacuzzi® Hot Tub.

Set your On-Peak and Off-Peak times: In the app, you’ll find a scheduling tool where you can define the hours of the day that are considered On-Peak and Off-Peak, based on your local utility company’s rates. You may be able to enter your utility rate plan or manually input the peak hours based on your utility’s pricing schedule.

Schedule heating and filtration cycles: After setting your On-Peak and Off-Peak times, you can schedule your hot tub’s heating and filtration cycles accordingly. For example, you can set the heating to occur only during off-peak hours and ensure that filtration runs during those times as well.

Monitor and adjust your settings and schedules—As energy prices can fluctuate, you may need to adjust your settings over time. The SmartTub® app allows you to easily update your schedules as needed, which gives you ongoing flexibility to optimize energy use.

Receive notifications—The SmartTub® System will send you alerts and reminders about the status of your hot tub, so you’ll always know when it’s running and how much energy it’s using.

In addition to the On-Peak and Off-Peak features, your Jacuzzi® SmartTub® System offers endless benefits when it comes to energy efficiency, cost savings, and sustainability. By using these features, you can optimize their energy usage, reduce utility costs, and contribute to a more sustainable future—all while enjoying the comfort and relaxation their hot tubs provide.
