Alternatively, add an Arctic Heat Pump to create a heat pump hot tub. The Arctic Heat Pump simply plugs into pre-piped supply and return ports on the outside of the hot tub – and you have a full Electric/Heat Pump Hybrid. This allows you to cut energy cost by up to 80%, simply by using the heat pump. However, if at any time the heat pump requires assistance, such as when the temperature drops below -20C (5F), the electric heater will automatically turn on and take over.

In many states, the choice for heating is gas - simply because of the cost, such as in California. So why are there no gas heated hot tubs? The reason is that gas heaters can’t be operated below freezing. This then limits gas heaters to southern states. But hot tubbing in the winter is considered the best time to enjoy a hot tub! Introducing the Hybrid Technology - simply plug your supply & return into the spa’s aux return and supply ports, and let the spa pack take over. When the weather turns too cold for a gas heated hot tub - simply switch to electrical heat.

A gas hot tub heats water very quickly because it uses natural gas or propane. A heat pump hot tub works by pulling warmth from the surrounding air, which makes it slower but more energy efficient. Both options work well, but the choice depends on whether you prefer fast heating or lower running costs.
Choose gas when quick heat-up and fast recovery time are the priority, especially if natural gas or propane is economical in your area.
Yes. A heat pump transfers warmth from the surrounding air into the water, so it can reduce operating costs compared with using electric resistance heat only.
Heating speed depends on water volume, heater size, plumbing, cover quality, and starting temperature, but gas heaters generally heat faster than electric-only or heat-pump-only systems.
A gas option is best for customers who want fast recovery, have access to affordable gas, or use the spa frequently in conditions where rapid heating matters.
Polar Hot Tubs can be configured around hybrid heating, letting you combine electric heat with gas or heat pump options so the spa can adapt to operating cost, weather, and heating demand.
