Slowest Heater on Earth

[Brookenstein]

Drain went semi-reasonably quick.  Started at 6:25... took a shower, got dressed, by 6:50 my bigger hose was done draining as the end came out of the water.  Water level was about to the seats.  Pretty cool I thought.  I tried for a bit to get the syphon suction thing going again couldn't do it, so let the regular drain do the rest.  By the time I got home from taking the kid to school, waking up J making his latte and lunch, it was drained.  I got it cleaned out, filters cleaned, and filled by 10:30.  Water temp was 67... it is 58 outside, and now at 2pm the water is only 78.

I sure hope it will be ready tonight.  

I'm curious how long it takes other Envoy owners to heat their spas and/or drain them for that matter.  I think this is my only complaint with this tub.

I have 375 gallons and with a 5.5 KW heater I get 6-7 degrees per hour.

Takes me as long as it takes me to tell one of my kids, "go change the water in the tub."

I get around 4 degrees an hour, but it seems like there is less the first hour or two.

I find that each time you open the cover it adds about an hour. The bigger the hurry, the slower it goes. This has proven true for all of the various brands I have sold over the years.

Figure around 8 degrees an hour once the tub is over 90.

I just filled up a new Envoy a couple of days ago and it took about 8 hours to get up to temp.  It was inside.  Also, it's been in the 70's here the last few days.

You'll be in hot water again before you know it!
