Why does Planner Basic seem to use more energy than Planner Dynamic?
Even with the same target temperature, Planner Basic and Planner Dynamic can use different amounts of energy.
-
Planner Basic
- heats every time it can (price and temperature allow it)
- does not know when you plan to bathe
- tries to keep the spa within your limits as often as possible
-
Planner Dynamic
- knows your bath times
- calculates how many hours are needed
- heats only in those hours and chooses the cheapest ones
- lets the water cool more between sessions to avoid unnecessary heating
Because Dynamic is selective and schedule‑aware, it will typically use fewer heating hours and therefore less energy than Basic over time.
