Are you sure? I took a look at the manual for my tub (Hawthorne), and in the US the circuit can be 40/50/60 Amp, whereas in Europe Sundance specify 20/30/40 Amp for the same model tub. Isn't the load (amperage) on a 110v circuit higher than the load on a 230v cicuit for an equivalent power demand?
Also, does this mean a tub in Europe will not only heat slower, but the pumps will also have a lower output (less power)? I'm willing to stand corrected but I find this hard to believe as there's plenty of countries in Europe, including Sweden, where it can get just as cold as the coldest parts of the US.
I live up north in Norway and in my new Hot Spot Mallorca the temprature drops from 40C to 38C within one hour, this happens in cold weather, -10C. Is this normal or is the heatin element to small? (1000W 230V 50Hz.) Before i bought it the dealer told me that the heater was big enough but I am not sure.
