I have the Beam 1. I plan to run it on the 110 for this winter and see if there are any issues for me with the heat. If so I'll switch to 220. Thanks for the info.

I purchased it after research and wanted a salt water tub. Therapeutic I meant the heat mostly, my wife never runs jets and I do occassionally. Of course on a new tub I'll try everything out. I'm glad you said the pumps all spin the same, I'll have to watch the heat. And the dealer really presented the tub as a tub made for 110.

My gut has been telling me this since the beginning of the purchase process. I had to wait 10 weeks for one to come in. Same dealer I bought my vitaspa from 23 years ago, new owner who was top guy for the old owner. I asked him point blank if there was any difference in performance using the 110 and he assured me once the tub was to temp it would operate the same. I knew that if it dropped a degree while using it it might not heat back up quick but that didn't bother me. Now I wonder about the 'therapeutic" jets but won't have anything to compare too. I'm so pissed.

This is my second hot tub and replaced a 23 yo Vitaspa with the Hot Springs Beam. My Vita runs on 220 so all the wiring was already installed and ready imo. My dealer talked me into using the 110v option rather than the 220. I asked him if the performance of the tub would be affected in anyway using that option and he said after initial start up there would be no difference. After paying $800 for install from breaker box to hot tub I already have my doubts. I'm 18 hrs post fill up and the temp has gone from 59f to 87f in 18 hours, that seems weak to me. Also I ran the jets while the heaters were on to check the amp usage and the jets on high seem very weak. Please tell me I'm wrong?
