How often should my hot tub be running?

Why does my Hot Tub Run All the time?
That is how is should work, so that is a good sign. If perhaps the jets were running while the cover was closed for a relatively long period of time, that can over heat the tub too from the friction of the water rushing through the pipes. If the heating red light shut off at 100F, but the temp is still rising, you have a bad circuit board.
Is it good to keep hot tub on all the time?
Tubs which are cheap to buy initially will often have much higher running costs in the long run as they’re inefficient. Good quality hot tubs have insulating side panels and covers so that as much heat as possible is kept in the water.

What happens when you shut down a hot tub?
