"Increasingly, I look for companies and brands that consider the environment. During my research, I discovered Oregon-based and employee-owned Marquis is actively involved in a Green direction for all of its products and operations. Now that’s a company I can really believe in."

• Marquis Spas® hot tubs comply with the California Energy Commission (CEC) Title 20 regulations for energy efficiency.

Additionally, Marquis’ products are marked according to Annex IV of Council Directive 2002/96/EC (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment - WEEE) which addresses the handling of products at the end of their useful life.
• Marquis’ styrene emission per spa has decreased by as much as 73%. This translates to a styrene emission rate of only 4 pounds per spa, or 120,000 fewer pounds of styrene introduced into the environment.

• All Marquis’ brochures and stationary are printed on recycled content from a clean mill with a sustainability charter, using soy inks.
• In addition, Marquis has reduced the amount of printed collateral in favor of digital media to conserve paper and the water required to produce it.

• Proper installation and use of your Energy Cover with linear heat seal is one of the most important means of keeping heat where it belongs – in your spa – and reducing energy consumption. Make sure that the cover is positioned correctly and the flaps are in place. Your Energy Cover also reduces water evaporation, thus conserving this natural resource.
• Set your spa’s temperature a few degrees lower, especially during periods of non-use, to also reduce energy consumption.
  
• Use the proper heat and filtration mode setting, based on the frequency of your spa use, to dramatically reduce energy consumption – when you’re on vacation, your spa can also take a break.
• Use ConstantClean™ water management with in-line sanitation system – it requires fewer chemicals than conventional water care methods.
• Use the Marquis Ozonator to inhibit the growth of bacteria and reduce the need for chemicals.
• Clean and replace your spa’s filters at the recommended intervals to keep your spa water cleaner longer.
• Plant trees and shrubs to help reduce your home’s carbon footprint – plus beautify your spa environment.
• Schedule proper service and maintenance to ensure your spa is operating at optimal efficiency.
