I own a SofTub which uses about 90 kwh/month on average. Live in 
Vermont and it sits outdoors year round and we get to -20F in the winter. 
It is basically a vinyl lined foam donut and is very comfortable for 2-3 
people, can be easily moved and is super efficient. The AC pump motor 
is water jacketed so it filters and heats with the same energy. The pump 
is inside a foam canister.

Regular hot tubs are huge energy hogs.
