thanks
I don't want to badmouth any dealers but mine is less than helpful and the only hot spot guy within 50miles.
I did call the 800 number and they said they didn't think it was a good idea to lenghten the cord something about amps adding the length would lower the amps???
they said it could do damage.
however, they suggested moving the outlet itself closer within the 5 ft. he said the only reason that is a law is that you don't sit in the tub and touch it.
it would still be far enough away just probably not 5 ft and i would NEVER sit in the tub and touch it nor would anyone else in my household.
what do you think of that option
i really want a cover lifter, i am old and getting more tired by the day
