Welcome to our forum.
I am thinking about going with the maax series tub and was curious as to why most other tubs run on 40-50 amps but the colemann requires 60 amps. I realize the wire size difference but don't understand why 60 versus the other tubs? Any help?Scott
scott....high performance, M6 three two speed pumps, large heater, air massage....those are the principle reasons
With 3 pumps, large heater, air massage and needing 60 amp circuit, considered high performance does that mean less energy efficient?
Well thanks for the continuing help from you guys. I hope I can find the right tub as I can only dry test the one Maax locally as they had a melt down of their power but will continue my search. I have heard good things about this tub. Price quoted wasn't bad either but the wet test will sure seal the deal or break it. Once again thaks for all your feedback. :-/Scott
Dan,That's a interesting question. I think when many think of energy efficiency they are referring to insulation and the cost of heating and losing heat in a spa. I think 3 pumps are more performance, whether or not its needed I guess is what a wet test would help one decide. I would hope most people would not compare 4 cyl car with a 6 or 8 and think it would be the same but it might be enough for them. Do you think when someone is looking at a spas operating cost they are thinking about insulating values or performance for me there is a difference in the two. .
