Simply put, without a hot tub heater, you don’t have a hot tub. It’s the necessary component that of course heats the water and provides that great experience. There are different types and levels of heaters, and often that is the separating factor when it comes to price and quality of a particular hot tub model.

The two basic options for hot tub heaters are time controlled and temperature controlled. Before you make the decision between them, or the third option, a combination hot tub heater, you have to really understand the differences between them and what you will be getting when you make the purchase of one.

Hot tub heaters controlled by temperature

The first type of hot tub heater is the kind that is controlled by temperature. This means that once the water temperature has reached a particular temperature, the heater shuts itself down automatically. For many people this is a great option because the water will never reach a dangerous or uncomfortable degree of heat; once it reaches the threshold it will safely and automatically turn itself off.

In some of the temperature controlled hot tub heater units, you can set the temperature control. In others, you have a choice of temperatures that you can use. Still other units have one pre set temperature. In most cases, the more you spend for the hot tub heater, the more choices you have when it comes to temperature control.

Hot tub heaters controlled by time

In addition to the temperature controlled hot tub heater, you can also get a timer controlled hot tub heater. This is an instrument that depends on time instead of temperature to heat the water in the hot tub. The timer controlled hot tub heater can be set on a timer so that it will heat up for a certain amount of time and then stop. These units are not as popular, or as safe, as the temperature controlled hot tub heater.

Combination hot tub heater

There are though hot tub heaters that utilize both temperature and time mechanisms. This is your best bet, because you’ll have the most amount of control of the hot tub, and it will be as safe as possible with two different methods of operating checking on it. When first using a hot tub, you’ll want to start with a low heat level. You also need to remember to talk to your doctor to see if you have any conditions that could make the high heat levels of a hot tub dangerous. For the most control, the best experience and the highest degree of safety, your hot tub heater should have both temperature and time controls.
