Kent Ohio Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Our new Sundance Certa only took about 7 hours to heat up from city 56 deg water. Our neighbor's Hot Springs took over 24 hours to heat up. Thats a pretty big difference!!!!! How long do most spas you all have out there take to heat up??

conrad Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Sundance Maxxus, 580 gallons: Start temp 55F Final temp 104F Elapsed time 16 hours Outdoor temp during fill was 30F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterboy Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Pacific Calypso 450 gallons start temp 45 degrees finish temp 103 degrees outside temperature started at 40 degrees and finished at 30 degrees time was 15 hours or approximately 4 degrees per hour. Possible formula is 900 minutes = 450gallons x 58 degrees which equals 29 gallondegrees per minute Therfore multiply your gallons by the degree differential and divide by 25 to 30 and you will have a rough time in minutes for heating up your tub. the outside temp will have a direct affect on your heating time. If it is really cold outsde lean towards the 25 number. The sundance certa is 340 gallons so it will naturally heat up much quicker as it has 25 - 30% less water. It will be our first soak tonight.

Spas that are set up to run with 220V heat up about 4º to 7º per Hour. Spas that are set up to run with 110V take about 24 hrs to heat up. Some spas can be set up either way.

Hex92 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 From a post of mine a couple of months ago: 220V 375 gallon Vita Reflections Soria The power to the spa was turned on @ 10:30 am The initial water temp was 47. @ 9:30 pm the spa was 98. We jumped in the tub @ 10pm and it was 100 (set temp). So the heating rate was ~4.6/hour. The manual said it should heat between 3-5/hour so not bad for a day where the high was 49.
