Thanks! Now I have another quick question. On another website I read this.... "What type of power source is required? In any case, you will need to run dedicated power from the circuit breaker box in your home to avoid overloading other circuits." So do I need a dedicated line? Or is the GFCI line on the back of my house already dedicated?

Hello, I recently got a hot tub from a friend of mine. It is a Leisure Bay Proshield (model #G1010CLSSO-H). Here's my question.... Outside on my patio there is one standard GFCI 2-outlet, which I am assuming is 110 like the rest of the outlets in the house. The panel on my hot tub says "Volts: 110/220. Amps Max: 16/24/40". Does this mean I can plug it into that outlet? Or do I need to have an electrician run a new line with a 220? Another thing, the tub's actual power cord looks like a standard power cord except for one thing, one of the flat prongs is sideways. So obviously it will not fit into the outlet already there. So if I can use 110 for the hot tub, do I still need to run a new line back there to plug it in? Or do I just need to switch the face plates? If I have confused everyone, I apologize. I am a complete noob when it comes to this stuff. Thanks for any help!
