Welcome to our forum.
2 8,If you're coming to Cedar Rapids, we have a Sumatran here at Pool Tech.I'd be happy to get it set up for you if you'd like to test soak. As far as the temperature, Hot Spring-made tubs only recently went to the 104 limit to comply with UL standards. The one we have here at the store (I'd have to check) may go up to 108.
hey, nice to see a local on the forum. I actually just talked to a satisfied customer of pool tech. They bought the spa at a different dealer and had a lot of problems. He said he called pool tech and you guys have been servicing him since. I actually found a good deal on a used spa about 3 blocks from my house. Its a 2005 hot springs prodigy. The only thing I am concerned about is that it is a 33" and that might not be deep enough for me. edit - one more quick question. This 05 prodigy is set up for 110v and the guy says the only downfall is you can't run that jets and heater at the same time. Is that big deal? He also said it is more efficient at 110v. He said it can be ran with 220 or 110, but since it is set up for 110 how do I switch it back to 220v and is their a large benefit?
I thought the same tub when hooked up to 220V would use less electricity and/or were more efficient than 110V. Not true?
Our deck has no plugs at all so I will probably have an electrician run 220 and 110 out there. I'll probably run it on 110 for a while then go to 220 and I'll still have the 110 plug out there to run other stuff.I did finalize the deal on the 2005 prodigy so I should be picking it up this week.
