Spas Worldwide are Going Green and it Doesn’t Come Cheap!

Today, “going-green” is all the rage and great for the environment.  This makes great sense for our ever-increasing world population, but it can also be a very expensive venture, especially for a resource-dependent business such as a spa.

Converting to a green spa is a wonderful idea and adds to the industry’s image of harmony and balance with nature, however, you may need to take some small steps at first to make any measurable changes because these economically friendly ideas can be very unfriendly to your wallet.  Things like replacing your spa’s water system with one that recycles and purifies water rather than wasting it cost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.  Using solar energy to power electrical water and heating systems is very green, but also very pricey.  Again, it will be well worth the time and effort over time.

Instead, try replacing your spa’s light bulbs with energy efficient ones a few at a time or start washing towels in larger loads to save water.  You can even replace your washers and driers for energy efficient ones.  Every little bit counts, so focus on the small stuff first and set long-term goals for more expensive green-friendly projects.
