Title: anyone get the Spasearch magazine?
Post by: Dr. Spa™ Ret. on May 09, 2005, 03:58:14 pm

According to their latest buyer guide, ;D our hot tubs are now available with up to 100+ pumps!

Any idea where I can get a GFCI to operate this monster therapy machine?

Yes...I know a guy who knows a guy who knows the man in Colorado who with the vastness of his superior engineering knowledge and skills has just what you need.... and well it is both UL and ETL approved or at least if you want to hear that he will tell you.... and even sell you the greatest spas on earth...I think they are even going to be on the upcoming space shuttle flight...well or so he says..... ;)

News flash for Andrew, they just had a cancellation of one of those spas and as long as he likes the color, it comes with a full warranty and wait that's not all, you get your money back in three years, with a cash rebate.  Whata deal.

I was also told it was so energy efficient you can use it to cogenerate power during peak times, and when you drained it, the water came out with such force you could power wash your driveway.

On a serious note, does anyone know where I might easily find (on line) some pump curves, aka pump performance curves, aka flow charts of some of the 3 and 4 hp pumps currently used in portable spas?

Pump curves: No. I haven't found many online. I have, in the past, called the manufacturer in question and had them fax me the curves. Also, I have seen curves on the back of brochures for pumps at wholesale houses like PWP and OrCal.

I did find Sta rite has a few:
