Welcome to our forum.
Not long ago I posted a thread about "title 20" in California and the "CalPoly Test" and caught alot of flack from people saying it was an inaccurate testing method due to all the variables. Well the APSP and the Senate feel differant and have adopted 'Title 20" with "S.598" and "APSP.14" while saying "its a good starting point for saving energy" So not only is it now becoming a Federal Regulation they are going to make spa efficiency even more efficient
Tell us when they're going to use separate 3rd party testing for final verification rather than self reported numbers.
Ive been working on having that changed to "third party testing" but now that its become Federal things should be a little easier for us to do that. I ll keep everyone posted when that happens and what the enforcment will be.
HUH! I read the bill, "Appliance Standards Improvement Act of 2009", and there's no mention of spa, hot tubs, or title 20.http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-s598/texthttp://energy.senate.gov/public/_files/S598.pdf
I read it to and didn't see anything about Portable Hot Tubs?? I musta missed it! Had to of been an oversite on my part. I'm sorry I just didn't see it, must be getting old.Either that or it's BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So by giving us a heads up, what exactly are we suppose to keep a heads up for??To me this seems more like a Manufacturer issue which includes all of us as dealers, but we don't build the things, and I am sure the manufacturers are well aware of whats going on and will comply if needed,if it gets to that. To me it seems someone in the private sector is trying to save his job by creating BS issues about the energy efficiency of refrigerators and dishwashers. How much more efficient can a refrigerator get, same goes with a spa, I am sure they could tighten the noose a bit, but at some point a spa or dishwasher for that matter can only get so efficient? If a spa is say 90% efficient in S,California will it be 90% efficient in Fargo ND in the middle of winter? Call me confused and I may be reading this wrong so forgive me if that's so?
Come on now Jess. The few of us that figured out who you are, are patiently waiting for you to start spamming your "product". [glow]How much longer are we going to have to wait[/glow]?
