intercooler Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey_in_NY Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 I'd say that 2C (4F) temp drop in an hour at -10C outside temp is perfectly normal with the heater OFF. Are you sure the heater is on? If it is then yes, the element is too small, and can't keep up. I'm assuming this is a 110V heater? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this normal or is the heatin element to small? (1000W) i would say that it is to small most tubs come with iether a 4000 or a 5500w ... i guess one question to ask is your tub a 110 acv or a 220acv? at -10c a 1000w will not keep up unless its a really small tub how big is the tub???

It is 230VAc/50Hz and the heater is on. The dealer her in Norway told me that it will be no problem in the winter but I am a little skeptical. It is Mallorca mod. 1360liters of water. I belived hot spring was made for winter use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I belived hot spring was made for winter use. i think that the heater is a bit to small for that kind of water volume and surface area . i think most tubs have a 1 c diferental so depending on your luck getting in if the heater just shut off then you lose 1 then you lose one more in a hour is a comfort thing i don't know if you can upgrade your heater but it might be worth looking into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkski Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 1kw is 5 times smaller than mine and we have a similar problem. When its below 20 f and we open the cover all the way the heater has trouble keeping up if it is windy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
