Why is my power bill so high when I have a heat pump to heat my spa?

Please check the settings on your controller by pressing the up and down arrow together. A spa heat pump is the most energy efficient way to heat a spa. If fact, it can save you up to 70 percent on your heating bill compared with a standard spa heater. That said, if you find your power bill is higher than expected even with a heat pump, it could mean your spa settings need adjusting. 
Check your settings to make sure the internal electric heater is switched off and you are only using the heat pump to heat your water. 

How to check your the heater settings on a SpaNetâ„¢ spa control system:
  1. Scroll through the menu until you reach H.ELE. =ON. This means both the heat pump and the internal heating element will be working at the same time.
  2. To use only the heat pump select H.ELE. OFF = Heat pump ONLY. This means your spa will only heat using the heat pump.
  3. Please refer the SpaNetâ„¢ user guide for more information.
