Don't be mislead by the hype of manufacturers who fully foam their spas. They do it to give them structural support, not to make them more energy efficient.

Our Spas already have the structural support because of the use of the finest polybond rigidizing laminates. But you don't have to sacrifice energy efficiency either.

In fact, no fully foamed spa is as energy efficient. In testing conducted by an independent engineering test lab a L.A. Spa with the Arctic Pak Insulation System heated up from 82° to 104°, 17% quicker than the exact same spa with full foam insulation. That resulted in a 16% savings in the cost of energy.

That's because L.A. Spas feature the Arctic Pak Insulation System. This system works on the same basic concept as the thermopane window, trapping warm air between the foam insulated shell and the cabinet. When a window manufacturer wants to

make an energy efficient window, they don't make the glass 3" thick, they have two (2) panes of glass with an insulating barrier of air in between.

We use the same principal. By combining a layer of dense foam on the outside of the shell with another layer on the inside of the cabinet to form an insulating barrier of air sandwiched in between the two surfaces. This pocket of air is actually warmed by the heat put off by the pump and heater.

In a fully foamed spa, the heat generated by the equipment must be vented off, wasting precious energy.

The Thermopane Insulation System features foam insulation on the plumbing and shell, while still providing easy access. It also has a non-corrosive, solid bottom.
