Just purchased a fully loaded Marquis Spirit - bluetooth radio, wifi, micro silk, etc. Can't wait for it to be delivered and to get into it!
We are in NJ, and the tub will be in a 3-season room (concrete slab, roof, but 3-sides are open)
Question: Should we plug it into the existing 120V outlet, or would it be worth the extra expense to have a dedicated 240V line ?
From research, it seems there are only two benefits of a 240V line:
1) hot tub will heat up faster
2) heater can run when jets are on high (but will run when jets are on low)
What should we do ? Is the time to heat up only an issue when you initially fill the tub ? I had another tub along time ago, i would keep at 90 or so, and then heat up to 103F when we wanted to use it. Is that not a workable strategy with 120V, and we'd need to keep the water near 100F all the time ?
Any other differences in performance ?
thanks!
