I need more Boothill... Maybe just taking orgasm after orgasm after orgasm... Mommy kink even...?

WAIT HUUUH?? BAE, YOU ARE REQUESTING SMT FROM ME? I’m fucking honoured I could cry also you are a switch? >:0

Anyway, hope this is to your liking <3

Dom!reader x sub!Boothill

Warning: mommy kink (boothill calls reader mommy), handjob, dacryphilia, praise kink, soft dom

His once cold metal arms were wrapped around your neck, holding onto you as tightly as he could. Legs spread as far as he can while he squeezed his eyes shut, unable to handle the overstimulation your touch brought him. “Too.. too much~” The male groaned into your neck, his hot breath tickling your skin. All you did in response was coo at him, whispering gently, “you are doing great, my love.” Each time your hand pumped up and down his sticky length, he could feel his body overheating and going feral. As if all of his systems shortcut, he felt how his limps went weak, at this rate he can barely hold on to you any longer.

Your hand was all dirty with the lube as well, smiling at him as you continued the same movements you’ve been repeating for the last hour. Up, down, up and down… just like that, a steady rhythm that made his mind go blank. You adored this man with all your heart, the only thing you want for him is eternal happiness and satisfaction. In your opinion, it was a blessing that you can make him feel good like this, make him whimper and cling onto you. “So good and so pretty for me, my baby.” A soft chuckle left your lips, eyes filled with adoration scanning over his mechanical body. He really was beautiful, every side of him, from his adorable personality to his looks. You swore to yourself that you’d always love him, his past, and his future. A future where you hope to be in the picture as well.

That lovely gaze of yours didn’t escape his sharp senses, those very loving eyes were what caused boothill to fall for you. He found comfort in them, solace and peace. It was indescribable. The moment you look at him with such tenderness he haven’t felt since centuries, he crumbles like sand with water. Somehow, you were able to make his nonexistent heart beat, causing him to year for you. All he could do was thank the aeons for granting him this comfort, since you reciprocated his feelings he tried so hard to suppress. “S-stop it with those uHhm~ dadgem compliments…” The cyborg scoffed, biting his bottom lip to keep his moans in check.

“But you deserve them, sweetie, and it’s only the truth. It’s what I think about you.” You mumbled against his head, using your free hand to stroke his long hair. “I really adore you.” You added after seeing his ears redden. Sometimes he thinks you are an angel, because of how nice you are, yet other times you were straight up the devil’s incarnation. Whenever you’d tease him until he’s whimpering and humiliated, that is. “Still.. stop it.” Boothill insisted, he felt way too embarrassed and aroused by just some praises that it was hurting his ego. His hands were bawled into fists behind your neck, sometimes when it got especially intense he’d also scratch your back.

Instead of nodding along, you just smiled again, picking up your pace on his length. His body has been warmed up by your body heat at this point, that’s how long you two have been going at it. How many times has he cum now? Since there are no physical signs of him reaching his orgasm, you could only guess from his other body languages. If you guessed rightly, it’d be three times already. When you suddenly started going faster, the cowboy cried out, pressing his face further into the nook of your neck as he begged incoherently, “please please please.., no-no more, mommy..” If it weren’t for his inability to, he would have cried from the excessive pleasure.

Poor boy was panting and gasping the entire time, mouth hung agape because he got no time to close with from all the moaning. The ecstasy was too much, way too much to handle, to the point even his fake thighs shook uncontrollably. How was it even possible for him to feel anything below his neck? He doesn’t know. He also didn’t know if this is a blessing or a curse since, fudge, you are driving him insane. “Hngghh… I can’t I can’t..! Ah, ahhH- mommy, please…” Boothill whined again, he was such a mess now, all due to you, only for you.

“Shh, it’s alright baby. I’m right here, mommy here with you.” You reassured him, kissing his forehead gently. The warmth of your lips was the last straw he needed to spill over the edge, eyes rolling back as a chocked out moan escaped his throat. “UghH- uhmmHg..!!” All of this was too much for him, he could feel new electricity crashing down on him in waves. Then a sudden sharp pain coursed through your body. His fingers dug into your back, crawling at your skin again, leaving behind new scratch marks. You bit his neck to bear the sensations, drawing out another pained groan from the boy, “ugh-nnNghhHH~..!”

After calming down a bit, you kissed his face. From his cheeks to his nose and lips, leaving behind little pecks for him to enjoy. “So good for me, my good boy.” You praised him again, ending with him turning his face to the side and avoiding you. What an adorable thing he was, of course you didn’t mind his bratty behaviour, instead you laughed before teasing him, “did you enjoy it? I mean, you even started calling me ‘mommy’.” Immediately the blush previously pestering his cheeks returned, and he yelled out a ‘fork you’. Once again you giggled, kissing the tip of his nose again, then saying, “aw, I thought it was very cute though.”

Never would he ever admit to have done something so.. embarrassing yet cute. Boothill thought this was finally over when you suddenly started rubbing his tip again, causing him to let out a squeak, “aghNhh..?!” You looked at him with expectant eyes, asking him, “what, you didn’t think I was done already, did you?” Right after you finished that sentence, you started jerking him off in the earnest again, and he moaned through gritted teeth, “nGHhhh~ fudge… please spare me, mommy~~ ♡”

Intentions - Part 2 (alien x human)

Summary: In the future, humans are nearly universal surrogates and Earth has taken to profiting off the ability. However, while humans can intermix with aliens, it doesn’t mean it’s without complications.

When Taliyra signed up to be a Companion to an alien, she had expectations. Mainly a lot of sex in an attempt to conceive an alien baby. What she didn’t expect was her counterpart to be so distant and - for lack of a better term - relatively hands off. For all intents and purposes, Khravel seems completely disinterested in her and will not hold a discussion to explain why.

After four months of this behavior, she’s had enough. Confronting Khravel, she gives him an ultimatum: either he sits down and talks with her about what the problem is or she’s going back to Proxypanion and requesting a transfer.

—

Previous - Master List - Next

—

After climbing onto the bed and flopping onto her back, Taliyra stared up at the ceiling as Khravel prepared. He dimmed the lights from his wrist gauntlet before undressing. Pushing herself up onto her elbows, she watched as his solid shadow undid his jacket, folded it and set it aside. With his back to her, she heard the shift of clothing. When he turned to face her, he fisted his hand around his length, making it all the more difficult for her to see the outline of his member.

Khravel paused, seeing Taliyra propped up and watching him. Over their encounters, she had learned his preferred position. She sat at the edge of the bed, her legs splayed, the dress hiked over her lower half, her pussy on display for him in the dark as he stroked himself. Anything to shorten the time he spent in her presence. Her eyes dipped down his body, latched to his already throbbing cock. Not that she could see anything. He knew that. Still, a pulse jolted through the traitorous member. Inhaling sharply, he advanced on the bed.

The all-too-familiar ache of excitement sparked through her as he positioned himself. In spite of the precedent, excitement scraped over her. She wanted to touch him, feel him beneath her fingers or the heat and heft of him weighing down on her tongue. Her mouth watered at the very thought. “You know, I could use my mou–“

“No,” he answered as he pressed the tip of his member into her, forcing down the urge to thrust. He could barely contain himself, as was, and his hand moved faster, harder, along himself. If she touched him, he couldn’t guarantee he could control himself.

Taliyra frowned, stubbornness flaring in her gaze. “It’d be more enjoyable if I–“

Khravel’s grunt interrupted her and he curved a little further over her. His pumping fist sped up as his cockhead twitched, making Taliyra’s inner muscles flexed, pulsing every time his hand inadvertently bounced against her. She reached to touch him, graze her hands against his arms or shoulders. Anything, really. Her attempts to touch him were met with a fierce glare from the alien. One of his free hands swooped up her wrists, pinning them above her head, as his second hand continued to stroke himself. His third and fourth stabilized him against the bed, braced near Taliyra’s hips.

This little human was going to be the death of him, with her wriggling and attempts to touch him. Even with his tip nudged inside her, he could tell it would have been such a deliciously tight fit. Too tight.

She rolled against him, his cockhead dragging against the edges of her entryway. The movement earned her the prize of his free hands grabbing them roughly, pinning them in place. “Please, let m– “

Please. That one damned little word sent a shock through his system. A choked groan left his lips just before his hips involuntarily jerked. A muscle twinged in his jaw as he clenched his teeth together, while unloading white-hot liquid heat directly into Taliyra.

Momentarily, she forgot what she was even saying. Her whole body jerked as he came, a rush of prickles dancing over her skin. Even though his whole cock wasn’t wedged inside her, his load alone nearly filled her to the brim. Inner muscles flexed and thrummed, seeking the hard heat of penetration but finding nothing there except liquid. An ancient instinct craved the intimacy, the joining. To be filled and able to feel his pulse inside her. Her toes curled at the very thought, even though it wasn’t even actualized.

Before Khravel even finished, he unceremoniously withdrew and turned away from Taliyra, leaving behind a stream of hot stickiness between her thighs. The cold sting of rejection pierced the heat of carnality and worsened the dissatisfaction in her gut.

“Khravel, can you jus– “ Taliyra shoved herself upright, ignoring the way liquid smeared over her bed or how it shifted inside her. Her muscles wound tight, anticipation scoring her nerves. Her body wanted more, expected more, but she already knew it wasn’t going to happen. It never happened with Khravel.

He didn’t even look back as he left her room. She heard the entry door slide shut behind him with a soft hiss, leaving Taliyra alone in her bedroom. Her lips crimped together as the sting of tears bit at her eyes. Annoyed and frustrated, left with the needy thrum of an unfulfilled orgasm, she pressed her palms against her eyes.

This was not working, she decided as she slid from the bed and made her way to the bathroom to clean up. Four months of this was more than enough adjustment time. It was not working.

When Khravel made his way back into the hall, he inhaled deeply. He imagined the fresh air pushing out the Taliyra particles filling his lungs, his senses. Just being around that woman was a test of his discipline. He made it down the corridor and around the corner, before he stopped to lean against a wall.

Temptation crawled over his palms, recalling how Talirya felt when he grabbed her hips, how she pressed herself against his touch. At the same time, memories of the former Companion – Avry – fluttered in his head. She had been slighter than Taliyra, both in height and weight. Always with a smile on her face, bubbly and charming.

At the same time the fond memories arose, so did the guilt. The bruises on her pale skin, the constant assurances she was fine, the eventual doctor visit informing him that, no, she was not okay. She had hidden the signs behind that smile and even the doctor assured him that he couldn’t have known. It had been a trial run for Tivikonians and Terrans, there were bound to be learning curves. But it all translated to Khravel being too much for her, too rough. He should have known better, Avry being a human and he a Tivikonian of his size. The few times he’d been with others of his kind, they had struggled with him as well.

As a political higher-up on his planet – a planet desperately needing a boost in population after one of many plagues sterilized swaths of people – he needed to lead the way, set an example. Which meant he was stuck with a human. At least, until more of his people were approved and settled with their own Companions. When that happened, he could send Taliyra home. Perhaps with a monetary gift to apologize for wasting her time.

Taking another deep breath, Khravel pushed off from the wall and made his way back to his quarters. He tried to turn his mind toward his work; political machinations, moving finances, potential hiccups in the day-to-day life of the planet. A nagging itch still prickled beneath his fore-thoughts, faint memories of Taliyra’s gasps and movements, the brief feel of her against him, her pleading. His partially sated need sparked through him, already wanting more, but he silenced it.

He was determined not to hurt Taliyra, or anyone, the way he had hurt Avry. And that was the end of it.

Pre-Flight Checklist

Last Chance Car Repair & Scrapyard The Edge Free Rasalhague Republic 18 May 3049

Chance folded down the welding mask and fired up the plasma cutter. It was for the most serious of problems. When all else had failed, the plasma cutter would be able to deal with the matter.

“You sure that's a good idea Chance? There's gonna be a lot of damage and cleanup.” Jake, his business partner and best friend asked.

“I know what I'm doing Jake. All the other tools wouldn't remove it so this is where it's at.” Chance said with a tone of frustration.

“Yeah but the plasma cutter? Are you really sure you've tried everything else? Measure twice and cut once you know.” Jake put on a pair of welding glasses and leaned against the wall to look at what was transpiring.

“I considered using the saw. I wasn't sure the material however would hold up. The torque would probably splinter it.” Chance said as he moved the plasma cutter across the measured line.

“Yeah… That sounds about right. I would have tried hot water.”

“What good would that do?”

“It would make the metal expand which could force it to move.”

“But how would you turn it?”

“Towel.”

“This way is better.” Chance as he finished the cut. He folded up the welding mask. With a gloved hand he reached to pick the top off. Then he took the glass jar and fished out a chili fruit from it. Then gave it a testing bite. Jake removed the welding goggles and stared.

“Tastes good.” Chance said, satisfied that he had finally opened a stubborn jar. Jake helped himself to another fruit and tasted it.

“Lucky.” He shook his head and gave his pal a light jab in the shoulder. “Alright hotshot. How are you going to keep the jar of chilis in the fridge without it going bad without a lid?”

“I’m going to put it in another jar where the lid isn’t stuck.This time we’re not putting it in the back.” Chance got an empty jar from the entry and filled it from the old one.

“If you're done opening jars, Chance, the Honda needs to have the particle filter changed and the servo pump is on its last legs. See if you can’t also figure out why the transmission is so stiff.” Jake said getting a can of cola while the fridge was open.

“Did you check between the steering wheel and seat?” Chance grinned back at him. Jake narrowed his eyes for a moment, then realized what Chance was saying.

“Speaking of piloting error. When you get the chance, come down to the hangar and we’ll need to look at the Turbostalker.” Jake said while the can hissed open.

“You got it.” Chance said as he cleaned his hands up 

—--------------------------------------------------------

Down below the scrapyard, in a secret underground base. Lost to the ages and the ravages of the succession wars. But then recently cleaned out and restored to active use.  An old black and red aerospace fighter sat in a workshop. It had seen battle, fairly recently too. Heat scars showed that lasers had raked across the armour. Small pock-holes on the frontal section were witness to a myriad of long range missile hits.

Jake was busy freeing an armored panel that had gotten hit badly by a laser shot.

“So what’s the problem with her?” Chance asked as he wandered in.

“Myomer strains. Your flying during the last pirate raid a few days ago frayed the myomers going out into the right wing.”Jake motioned at the wing in question.

“It was either that or fly into the Rifleman’s fire. Easy choice.” “Sure. Still needs repairing though. The release system for hardpoints barely works now so we’re going to have to fix that if we want to have those Arrow missiles for the next pirate raid… we better get to work.” Jake sounded a little tired. As though the thankless task they had gotten themselves into helping to protect this side of the planet from pirates and whatever else came from the deep periphery got to him. It made him feel tired in the moment.

“Easy.” Chance as he joined his co-pilot in fixing the plane up. “Just picture the general's face when we pull his ass out of the fire again.” He grinned. Jake’s world felt brighter again.

“Worth all the trouble.” He nodded.

“At the end of the day you gotta admit it was some fancy flying.” Chance pulled loose a panel from the wing to look at the frayed myomers inside.

“Yeah. Just as wasted on the raiders as in the army.” Jake chuckled.

“Heck yeah.”

HFOBG Chapter 13 Sneak Peek

Nico awoke to bright light and a splitting headache, sitting up on the small cot as the world swam a bit in front of his bleary eyes before snapping into sudden focus with intense clarity. 

The threadbare blanket pulled over his legs and midsection was itchy where it rubbed against his freshly sensitive skin, trapping in a stifling amount of heat under a sea of fluorescent lighting that was already unbearably hot as it pressed him down into the stiff mattress barely thick enough to offset what felt like hundreds of steel bars digging into his tender flesh.

The room itself smelled heavily of antiseptic and the acrid aroma of cleaning products overused fairly recently, undercut with a hint of something sharp and metallic like wet iron once it had finally begun to show the first signs of rust.  As he made to move his arm up to swipe a hand over his face, chasing away the last remnants of fog coating his brain, he found that it was stuck in place, something on his wrist giving a slight tug as the sound of chains clanging together filled the otherwise harrowing silence around him.

Was he handcuffed?  Why would he be handcuffed to a—

Reality crashed down on him like a tidal wave barraging a rocky shoreline, adrenaline zipping along through his bloodstream as his heart rate kicked up speed to a rapid staccato inside the once-empty cavity of chest.  The very same organ that he felt literally stutter and gasp to an abrupt halt before finally giving up altogether was now pumping so erratically he wondered if it were possible to come back to life and then die immediately afterward when it burst from the effort of attempting to break free and run off into the night without a single backward glance at the carnage left in its wake.

How it had come to pass was a mystery.  The last he could recall of what transpired, he was running toward the water’s edge bordering on impossible speeds in a feeble attempt to get away from their armed pursuers—but then an invisible wall had been thrown up to trap him in, only he was going so fast that when he hurtled into it the thing shattered all around him in an explosion of pain and anguish ripping across every last molecule in his system simultaneously.

It didn’t last all that long before he’d succumbed to the sweet relief of darkness dragging his conscious mind under, and then he was waking up in that room with a head split in two by hundreds of old memories that didn’t quite fit into his new perception of himself but still felt just familiar enough they were accepted as truth regardless of whether they had all been some kind of hallucination or fever dream created by a scarred psyche undergoing impossible transformations that defied the laws of the universe as they knew it.

In short, he was very positive he was alive, and very certain he had once been undead, so where that put him right then was kind of a toss up.

please i must hear about horny unethical scientific experimentation

if I was a betting man, I would've put money on you asking for this one, lmao. bloodborne au again :)

(cw for needles/injections, mild body horror)

"You're feverish," comes a voice that they recognise, but it sounds far off, distant, like they are hearing it from a room away. "Perhaps this was too much. If we flush your system through with saline--"

"No," they snap, voice breaking. They will not fail. They will not fail. They will not fail. "The third vial. Give it to me."

He releases them and steps away and they cannot bring themselves to turn their head far enough to follow him. "That is unwise. If you cannot handle two vials, the third--"

"I can handle it," they snarl, wrenching at the restraints as if they hadn't checked and double checked, the both of them, that they were strong enough to hold them down. "If you cannot handle seeing me in a little discomfort, then perhaps I need a better partner. Perhaps Ketheric--"

The needle burns as it stabs through their skin. He has not waited long enough for the metal to cool and they worry, for a split second, that the heat will have denatured the blood -- but the ice that spreads through their veins amplifies the song echoing in the back of their mind and their mouth falls open on a moan even as his hand finds their face, resting possessively over their skin, fingers catching briefly on a tusk before pushing between their lips.

Mor had lasted three vials. They had complained of the cold, had shivered more with each injection until their body had turned brittle and rigid, skin hard enough that the needle of the fourth syringe had snapped off when Labrys had tried to administer it. The skin of their temple had cracked open, dark brown splitting apart to reveal the bleached white of their skull beneath, but they had not bled. Their blood had still been frozen solid in their veins an hour later, after Labrys had blunted three scalpels trying to cut them open.

They are cold now, but at least they can feel their blood still liquid enough to pump sluggishly around their body. They cannot stop shivering: their sweat still has not dried, and the air down here is too cold to ever truly be comfortable, even if they did not have ice water running through their veins in place of blood. Enver's fingers in their mouth are so hot they almost burn -- they should bite down until the rich taste of his blood floods their mouth, until he cries out in pain. But when they set their teeth to his skin their jaw feels too weak and they cannot bite hard enough to break the skin.

He pulls his fingers free with too much ease, trails saliva across to their jaw and down their neck until his hand rests heavy and burning across their throat. They bear their teeth at him and growl, low and bestial, a warning ripped out from their throat as he leans down closer to them. Stupid. Stupid. Doesn't he know how badly they want to hurt him? Doesn't he know just how fragile he is, how the blood running through the veins so close to the surface of his skin calls to them, desperate to be released?

How Big Can You Make a Passive House?

Buys an old office building, and retrofits it to get it close to being a passive home hotel.

Passive Home = power generation over the year is equal to power usage.  They aren’t quite there yet, but are getting closer all the time.

Solar panels on the roof, but also on the canopy for the parking lot.  This prevents the parking lot from overheating in the summer, like it usually would, along with ensuring the parking spots will be relatively snow free in the winter.

Elevator regenerative breaking.

Replaced some of the elevator shafts with weights.  You can lift the weights when you have power, and drop them when you want to, providing perpetual energy storage.  This is akin to pumped hydro, which represents 95%+ of the world’s grid energy storage.

Heat pumps, heat recovery ventilation.

Using waste heat to heat their water.  This is then boosted on demand, meaning you only have to provide half of the heat for your hot water.

Use ethernet cables to provide power via radio waves.  This allows you to control the smart devices while providing power without resistance loss.  It also dramatically reduce the complexity of the wiring.

Advanced battery system, obviously.

Passive house means high insolation, so they don’t hear the highway 400ft.

The extra costs are obviated by the extra savings.  It doesn’t take more money than convention large buildings, just more time.  The other advantages are that they can be grid-independent for short durations without any loss of service, are so well insulated that they can’t hear the highway that is right near them, their lifts are so efficient that even a small typical portable generator could power them.

Why does my current setup require the outdoors? How much does it cost to Relocate to an External Location?

Heat pump systems must be installed outside because they require airflow, similar to a split system air conditioner. You only need to pay for the transfer of services (water and power) to an external location for the new system if you want to keep your rebate eligibility. Free hot water Upgrade Relocation costs range from $499 to 999 depending on factors like roof access and distance.

Off-Grid: Living Without Running Water

The other day, a friend of mine and I were discussing my emergency planning activities and supplies. When it came to plumbing, my friend said “I couldn’t live without running water”. To that I responded, “If you think you can’t, you haven’t tried or you haven’t looked at alternatives”. I then began to explain the methods I have used in place of conventional plumbing. It all boils down to this; if you seek alternatives, you will find them but you may need to give up some of the creature comforts like taking long showers and automatic dish washers. Reaching for the faucet and expecting water to flow out of it is so ingrained in us that, for many, it seems impossible to imagine a life without that luxury. It is possible. A mindset change is always needed when dealing with an emergency or making a lifestyle change to "go against the norm". Try it. Plan one day to live without turning on the faucet, taking a shower/bath, using the dishwasher or flushing the toilet [as usual]. The items below are but a few of the alternatives available. You are limited only by your imagination and research. As a homesteader, Jaimie gets questions about water. "It seems that everyone marvels at my fortitude of living so long without running water. They want to know how I do it. I often find myself answering their questions by explaining the logistics of life without working faucets. I tell them how we heat water on our wood stove in the winter and in our solar oven in the summer. I explain how we have a bucket shower on a rope and pulley attached to the ceiling above our bathtub. But what I've come to realize is that their questions aren't even remotely related to logistics. What they really wonder about is my commitment. They are really asking HOW could I find it in myself to spend three years carrying water?!" Read more . . .

Distilling is the best method and can be done for free or very little cost. Click here for other options. SINK: My cabin’s "rustic" version of a sink is a small stainless steel sink built into the kitchen counter with a 5-gallon water container on a shelf above the sink, to dispense into the sink, and a 5-gallon bucket under the sink, to catch the used water. But, again, there are many alternatives, including RV sink systems and those used by snowball stands and lunch wagons. SHOWER: There are many portable showering solutions (usually for camping) that do not require conventional plumbing. Some produce heated water and others do not. For those that don’t produce their own heat, pre-heated water can be used. For years, I have enjoyed using coleman hot water on demand. It uses the 16.4-oz. propane cylinders or optional bulk propane tank adapter. With practice, I have been able to acquire a warm, cleaning shower with less than 3 gallons of water and even less when the water is cold. A clean, fresh-water stream or lake is also an alternative. A Shower Bag or [clean] Lawn Sprayer are good for camping or as alternatives when running water is not available. Like anything else, there are choices of quality, capacity and options.

It requires no electric or water. An electric, incinerating toilet does require a good amount of electric but requires no water or plumbing. The unit vents its "odor" outside and all that’s left are ashes. I have used both types for years and have found them to be extremely efficient and comforting that I can stay in a nice warm cabin instead of going to an outhouse. I found them to be the closest thing to a "regular" residential toilet, without the need for plumbing. There are many other, less expensive alternatives that can be utilized but are a bit less maintenance-free, uncomfortable and can be more expensive over time. I have also used a simple bucket with a heavy-duty trash bag liner, a toilet seat, made especially for 5-6 gallon buckets, with kitty litter and a product called "Poo Powder" to help control odor and solidify the waste. Your selection will depend on your circumstances, availability and budget. LAUNDRY: Doing Laundry in an Emergency Situation or Living Off-The-Grid GRAY WATER: Water should never be wasted. A graywater system is used to take water that has already been used from places like laundry, shower and sink and divert it to use for another purpose like watering gardens or landscaping instead of flushing it down into the sewer or running it into a field. Using a Solar Still, graywater can be converted to drinking water. Here are some resources for installing and using a graywater system.

This spa system drastically reduces your operational costs. Please check out this post and learn how this advanced spa offers remarkable energy efficiency and what sets it apart from traditional models:

Superior Insulation

An energy-efficient spa has superior-quality construction. The Hybrid Hot Tub features exceptional insulating capabilities, including:

Spray Foam Core-Shell - This advanced insulation material offers minimal heat loss and maximizes the retention of warm water.

1” Cavity Insulation – The strategically placed cavity insulation traps heat and contributes significantly to the overall efficiency of the spa system. 

3” Insulated Mounting Base - The strong base offers an additional level of insulation and improves the spa's thermal retention.

5” Insulating Cover - Its thick cover significantly minimizes standby heat loss when the hot tub is not in use.

Together, these insulation features make a thermal barrier that keeps your hot tub system warm and reduces the energy requirement to maintain the desired temperature.

Advanced Heating Technology

This energy-efficient spa comes with the Arctic Heat Pump—an innovation in spa heating technology. Please check out the reasons why it’s exceptional in the spa industry:

Heat Transfer Technology – Rather than generating heat, the heat pump transfers heat energy from the surrounding air into the spa water. This free energy dramatically reduces hot tub heating costs.

Improved Performance in Extreme Conditions - Unlike traditional heat pumps, Arctic Heat Pumps work efficiently even at temperatures as low as -20°C (5°F). This ability allows your spa to remain warm and inviting, regardless of the outside weather conditions.

Noiseless Operation - With a sound level of just 48 dB, the Arctic Heat Pump offers noiseless operation that allows you to enjoy your spa without making a disruptive noise.

Energy-Efficient Pump Technology

Alongside the heat pump, the Hybrid Hot Tub includes the latest advancements in pump technology:

Ultra Quiet Pump - The LX ultra-quiet pump has a 2-pole/6-pole motor design, which results in less than 0.4 amps of circulation draw. This low power consumption can result in overall energy savings.

Soft Start Mechanism—Using DC inverter technology, the heat pump and fan motors gradually ramp up to speed, reducing wear and extending the durability of these essential components.

Premium Thermal Shield Insulation

To boost energy efficiency, the Hybrid Hot Tub features a Premium Thermal Shield Insulation system. This advanced insulation effectively retains heat, minimizes heat loss, and reduces operating costs. With high-quality insulation materials, the hot tub stays warm while keeping energy consumption low.

Conclusion –

With all these innovative features, this energy-efficient hot tub offers luxurious amenities like standard ozone and ionization systems, LED lighting, and WiFi control. In addition, the hot tub allows you to save an astounding 70-80% on your operating costs.

Investing in this spa system allows you to enjoy a relaxing retreat while being environmentally responsible and affordable. So, whether you want to unwind after a long day or entertain friends and family, this spa system offers an exceptional experience without expensive energy bills.

So, you can transform your outdoor space into a haven of relaxation and rejuvenation with the most energy-efficient spa available at Northern Lights Polar Hot Tubs. This hot tub allows you to experience luxury and comfort while being kind to the planet and your wallet.
