I have a bunch of questions that need help answering because this is all pretty foreign to me. Some background, I don't have any outlets or electrical in our very small backyard, and I want to install a hot tub. We are looking at a refurbished Hot Springs TX model (triangular shape).
Money is a factor and I was told that if I don't care if the jets are on high and the heater turns off, that 110v would be fine. If the jets are on low, will the water still heat and maintain temperature on 110v? Our weather never drops below 45 degrees. I also don't care if it takes 24 hours to heat up initially, as long as we can maintain the temp once it hits 98 or 99.
The plug it comes with is 110v/15amp, but there is an option to hardwire it for 110v/30amp. What is the difference/advantage of the 30amp vs. the 15amp?
Thanks in advance! I apologize if these are super basic questions, but they are definitely out of my expertise and I want to make sure I make the right decisions as it is a one of the larger purchases we've ever had for my family.
