I am thinking of getting a hot tub and I have some questions:?

skobie

I would like to get a small hot tub for myself. I see some of them are as simple as plugging into a 110 electrical connection. Will a 110 powered hot tub use more electriciy than a 220 connected tub??

Also, based on those connections, how much would I expect to pay each month to heat the thing?

lastly, is it wise to find one used?

thanks in advance

Answer
The main savings to the 110V tubs is that you don't have to pay (or pay as much) for special wiring.

The downside is that the jets and heater aren't as powerful. I suspect you will be disappointed in the 110V in the long run.

I don't think the power bill is that much compared to the tub itself (and chemicals, etc.) but frankly I've never measured the AC consumption of ours nor worried about it much.

Hot Tub Troubles!!!?

I have acquired an older model hut tub with a Len gordon control box. I was told it will work on either 110v or 220v. I can not get it to function at all on 220 without tripping the 20 amp reset button on the side of the box. I have searched on-line for a wiring diagram to see if there is a different wiring configuration that may help. I have not been able to find anything. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? The numbers on the box are: HL-2H and 6425425-1. I'm not sure if these numbers will be helpful. It uses a 1 HP 2 speed motor.

Answer
if you can't find any wiring diagrams, most swimming pool dealers know something about hot tubs, maybe someone in your area that deals with pools could help you. there is a switch you have to move or wires you have to move, of course you already know that, but ask a swimming pool salesperson, good luck.
