Welcome to our forum.
Hi Everyone,I've just gotten a full month's electric bill, after installing and running the hot tub. As I expected, the bill is much more than the estimates posted for running a tub for 20 minutes a day in various climates. I suspect these estimates do not include the fact that you need to leave the tub open without an insulated cover whenever you superchlorinate or go above 5 ppm chlorine. Of course, now I see the tradeoff between chlorine destroying the cover and especially the seams (which means buying a new cover) and paying for the electricity and heating tub water that is uninsulated for one or more days at a time, until the chlorine level drops below 5 ppm.The bottom line: last year during a 31 day period (without the hottub) my electric bill was $85.28. This year it was $226.54. The apparent cost of running the hot tub for a month from August 11 thru September 10 this year was $141.26. This is for a big tub - the Sundance Maxxus with 600 gallons of water and 3 pumps to run when the chemicals need to be mixed.I am not pleased about this and am now reconsidering things.Electro
Obviously your tub is faulty or you and Ed have different levels of satisfaction with: tub, install and after sale service. In my experience buyer satisfaction and electrical consumption go hand in hand.
