Electricians hooked up the 240. Installers have the cover on and the water hose is filling the tub (which is like watching grass grow when you are impatient like me lol). Can't wait!! Going through the install process for the first time, I was curious on the forum's thoughts ...
My impression is that it seemed like the power was an after thought by Marquis. Initially the electrician wanted to drill in through the front face of the tub (which I didn't think would be very attractive). They ended up going through the side but it seemed like it took a lot of drilling and routing. Hot tubs all have to get electricity so why doesn't the manufacturer already have this sort of planned out and ready to go?

They will say that it enables you to tab in on the most convenient side of the tub. I say it is just for cost savings. I understand, however, that BullFrog has a nice set up for accepting the electric tie in.

Interesting ... well the deed is done so I guess it doesn't matter. But where are the knockouts?

If it was initially ordered to run on 110v, it might not have the two electrical pop-outs on the side of the cabinet. Either way, it's fairly easy to drill in to the cabinet to run the electrical. Enjoy your new spa, that's a nice one!
