A spa heat pump can reduce heating costs by up to 80% compared to using a standard electric spa heater alone.
To put this into perspective, a traditional 3kW spa heater uses around 3kW of electricity to produce 3kW of heat. The XSPA 5.5kW Heat Pump can produce up to 5.5kW of heat while using as little as 0.82kW of electricity. This means it can deliver significantly more heating while consuming much less power.
The result is lower running costs, more affordable year-round spa use, and less worry about turning the spa on during winter.
It depends on the size of your spa and how often you use it.
For larger spa pools and swim spas, a heat pump is one of the best upgrades you can make. The reduction in running costs can often repay the purchase price within 4-5 years, while making year-round spa use much more affordable.
For smaller spa pools, the payback period is typically longer because there is less water to heat. While a heat pump will still reduce power consumption, it is often considered a “nice to have” rather than an essential upgrade.
As a general rule, we recommend heat pumps for most swim spas and larger spa pools where heating costs are highest and the savings are greatest.
COP stands for “Coefficient of Performance” and is one of the easiest ways to compare heat pump efficiency. In simple terms, it measures how much heat the heat pump produces compared to the electricity it uses. The higher the COP, the lower your running costs. With a COP rating of up to 16.6, the XSPA 5.5kW Heat Pump can produce many times more heating energy than the electricity it consumes under ideal conditions.
Traditional heat pumps operate like a light switch – they are either fully on or fully off. An inverter heat pump is more like the cruise control in your car, automatically adjusting its output to suit demand. This allows it to run more efficiently, use less electricity, operate more quietly, and maintain a more consistent water temperature.
When comparing spa heat pumps, always check whether the unit uses inverter technology and variable heating. While many heat pumps advertise similar maximum heating outputs, the real-world running costs can vary significantly depending on how efficiently the heat pump performs when maintaining temperature day after day.
The XSPA 5.5kW Heat Pump features a Mitsubishi DC Inverter Compressor, variable heating from 1.51kW to 5.53kW, and a COP rating of up to 16.6, helping maximize efficiency and minimize running costs throughout the year.
Yes. The XSPA 5.5kW Heat Pump is designed to handle New Zealand’s diverse climate, from warm North Island summers through to frosty South Island winters.
Unlike some heat pumps that stop operating in colder weather, the XSPA is designed to operate in ambient temperatures as low as -10°C, helping keep your spa warm even during the coldest months of the year.
Combined with its DC inverter technology, the heat pump automatically adjusts its output to match demand, maintaining water temperature efficiently whether you’re using your spa in the middle of winter or during summer.
Whether you’re located in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Queenstown, or anywhere in between, the XSPA 5.5kW Heat Pump is built for reliable year-round spa heating in New Zealand conditions.

We purchased the Thunderbolt 6 person Spa from Jet Spas, it is so roomy and we love the different massage options the jets and two pumps offer. The communication from Jet Spas, including post-sale support has been fantastic. This really is a spa company that offers best value for money without compromising on the important features. Thanks Jet Spas.

I got the gulfstream a few days ago and I am extremely happy with the spa. I did a bit of research before and I couldn’t find a more cost-effective option. Totally affordable and 12 months free-interest finance. Big Thanks Jet Spas Team :-)
Santiago, Hamilton
Our Jet Spa has been great thank you. It’s the perfect size as there’s only the two of us. Water usage and heating cost was a primary factor in choosing our latest spa. We use it most evenings and hope to continue usage through the winter as we have set it up under a louvre pergola six steps from the master bedroom slider.
Heather, Tauranga
We had been searching for a small spa pool for a while and found Jet Spas website. We found that a Tango would be suitable for the two of us and that the pricing was very reasonable. Upon ordering Jet Spas were helpful and knowledgeable in assisting us with our purchase. We are very happy customers and have recommended Jetspas to close friends.
