cheap outdoor hot tub image
fbfriends
I have 400 gallon hot tub that needs to be drained and I would like a pump that can empty it within 15-20 minutes (i.e. ~1600 gpm). i plan to drain the hot tub every 3 months. FYI, i have seen some that have top handles to easily place the pump into the hot tub and it seems like a nice feature.
please provide specific make and model of the submersible pump you use to drain your outdoor hot tub. if you have a web link to a site which sells them, please list that also.
would like to spend less than $100 on a pump if possible.
i meant 1600 gph . my apology.

You can buy a cheap garden hose a Walmart for less than $10. Siphon!!! It`s a little slower, but it`s a lot cheaper and nothing mechanical to breakdown.

How much to install an outlet for an outdoor hot tub?
RandolphH
Im considering getting a backyard hot tub and want to understand all the costs involved.
Most hot tubs require a 240-volt electrical gfci outlet so I will need this outlet installed outside.
How much would an electrician charge for this job?
I live in the North East.
Thanks

anywhere between 100-500 quid depending on how good the electrician is, dont go for the cheapest but dont go for the most expensive. to tell if you have a good tradesmen check for few signs, is his van neat and tidy, signwritten? does he have a uniform or proper work clothes not just scabby jeans and t shirt? does he have an apprentice or another guy with him? this would indicate he is getting a lot of regular work which shows he can be trusted and is a good tradesmen. alternatively there is a search for check a trade in google however not every tradesmen is registered, im not but still get work and my work is still quality.
More importantly dont do it your self if you dont know what your doing i.e. what size and type of cable required, swa cable will be the choice most sparks will use (and should use) which is slightly more expensive the size depends on the current it will have to carry i.e how much current the hot tub is, how many amps it uses. but Part P regualtions and the law states no work is to be undertaken by anyone not part p registered hope this helped
