I am going away for a week
Can I leave it switched off?
Hot Tub Reviewer
Yes, however it will cool down, so when you return you will have to heat it all up again. It maybe more cost effect to leave it one and heated.

What do I do when all the glue comes unglued and air leaks out
David law
They said to us buy a new liner. Which is why they’re around £700 I would think. We’ve had three go that way. I would say these pools are faulty. The pump went last time and almost started a house fire.

Hello, Is the Helsinki more expensive to run thank other Lay Z spa hot tubs because the walls are thinner? Thanks

If it’s keeping the tub water warm during winter months what Elec wattage does it use
shaun jones
hi i just bought the helsinki just trying to get my head around heating as well we are leaving it on all time heating stays at maintained heat if you turn it off temp will drop then it cost loads to re heat ,do you think this is better way to keep the cost down if you using
timer function your still using more power to reheat thks shaun
Hot Tub Reviewer
Depends how often you will use it, maintaining the heat is likely to be cheaper unless you don’t intend to use very often.

I’ve bought the American version of the Helsinki, which comes supplied with a 5kV 110V/120V transformer.
The heater is 1kW as opposed to the UK one at 2kW.
It takes at least 1 hr to raise the temp by 1 deg C, and I ‘m certain that it may be taking twice as long to heat as the UK version would.
I’m using approx 1.7kW/h at 20p per unit, so its costing 34p per hour – that’s £8.16 per day or £57.12 per week, if left on constantly!
Just don’t know where Lay Z Spa get their £10.00 per week running costs from!!!

I find that by using the Timer Function, you have to assess how much heat will be lost whilst it’s switched off.
Ours loses approximately 1 deg C per hour, and then takes 2 hours to raise the temperature by 1 deg C.
Example: We get in the Tub at 21.00 hrs at 40 deg C – it then loses 2 deg C within 1/2 hour whilst using bubbles and obviously the lid is off (down to 38 deg C)
I then set the timer to come on at 02.30 am for 6 hours. By 02.30 am the temperature has dropped to 33 deg C, so it will take another 12 to 14 hours to get back up to 40 deg C. VERY EXPENSIVE TO RUN.
I’ve calculated that it’s using between 1.6 to 1.8 kW/hours @ 0.22pence/unit – that’s anywhere between £5.00 to £8.00 per day and possibly more. That’s between £35.00 to £56.00 per week – where on Earth do Lay Z Spa get £10.00 per week from?

Did you buy the 2020 version with the rapid heat system and freeze technology? Just asking because we are having the same issue?
Susan Hills
I have the Helsinki it is on constant @ 37 degrees, bought it in August my electric bull has gone up by £231 each month, so is costing me £50 per week, I bought his thinking it woud cost me £10 a week, it is ridiculous….
Mike Jackson
Spot on my Helsinki cost’s £2.50 a day to run (temp37c) in a very sheltered position ( when not in use covered with a thermal blanket) no way can you get away with £1 a day!
Mike Jackson
Hi
Sound’s like I’m getting away lightly at £2.50 a day but still way to expensive for me so draining it down and putting it on EBay!
