The final monthly cost depends on different variables. In this article prepared by Saunamo, where you can find the best jacuzzis to buy in Portugal, you can get an idea of the average prices. Read on and find out everything.
Jacuzzi maintenance: the difference between initial costs and ongoing costs
Installing a jacuzzi always involves a significant initial cost. This initial cost is unique and includes the purchase of the jacuzzi and its installation.
But what is the price of a jacuzzi in Portugal?
In the Saunamo online store, you 'll find jacuzzis starting from 4700€.
The ongoing costs you will incur afterwards with hot tub maintenance vary on a monthly basis and include the following elements:
- energy
- water
- water maintenance products
- component maintenance
Jacuzzi maintenance: energy consumption in heating and insulation!
Energy consumption is one of the biggest costs of maintaining a jacuzzi. Using heaters to keep the water at the ideal temperature can significantly increase your electricity bill.
However, more modern jacuzzi models, such as those on sale at Saunamo, are more energy efficient, using more effective insulation and heating technologies.
It's difficult to give a final figure for the cost of heating jacuzzi water as it can vary depending on the energy efficiency of the model, the frequency of use and the weather conditions. On average, the cost of electricity to heat a jacuzzi can be between €30 and €60 per month.
Isolation
Investing in a good insulation system can help reduce heating costs by keeping water hot for longer and requiring less energy to maintain the desired temperature.
Thermal covers and additional insulation in the walls of the jacuzzi are examples of improvements that can be made to increase energy efficiency. A good quality thermal cover can cost between €100 and €300. Adding insulation to the walls of the jacuzzi can have an initial cost of between €200 and €500.

Continuous water treatment in jacuzzi maintenance
Keeping the water clean and safe requires continuous treatment so that the jacuzzi operates efficiently.
The use of products such as chlorine or bromine is necessary to disinfect the water and prevent the growth of bacteria. In addition, it is necessary to balance the pH of the water to prevent corrosion and the appearance of algae or a build-up of minerals and scale.
All these products represent an ongoing cost that should be included in your jacuzzi maintenance budget.
The average monthly cost for these products can vary between 35€ and 75€, depending on the frequency of use and the quantity of each product required. This is an estimate. You can find a wide range of different products on the market.
The costs of filtering and cleaning in Jacuzzi maintenance
Regular filtering and cleaning are also essential to ensure that the jacuzzi is in full working order, with the water remaining clean at all times.
Be aware that filters need to be cleaned and replaced periodically, depending on the frequency of use. Cleaning the surface and internal pipes is also necessary to prevent dirt and debris from accumulating, which can affect the efficiency of the system and the quality of the water.
In general terms, you can expect this monthly cost to vary between €20 and €45.
The price of component maintenance
Jacuzzi components such as pumps, heaters and jet systems also require regular maintenance. Inspecting and replacing worn parts can prevent bigger and more expensive problems in the future.
Hiring a professional to carry out an annual inspection can be a good practice to ensure that all the components of your jacuzzi are in good condition.
Replacing these components always involves higher costs. For example, replacing a pump can cost between €200 and €500, depending on the model and power. Heaters, on the other hand, can cost between €150 and €400. Each individual jet can cost between €10 and €50.
Water costs for Jacuzzi maintenance
The cost of water is another element to consider when maintaining a jacuzzi. Depending on the capacity of your jacuzzi and how often you change the water, this cost can vary.
It is recommended to change the water every three to four months, or as indicated by the manufacturer, to maintain the quality and safety of the water.
For example, if we use a jacuzzi with an average capacity of 1500 liters and take into account the average cost of water of 1.50 per 1000 liters, we can consider a cost of 2.25€ for each water change.
