Welcome to our forum.
Oh I know. I didn't press them with any of those of questions. Don't those sorts of sales tactics drive you nuts? And as far a credibility goes, can I believe any claim they'd make on quality, filtration or price?I did however wonder if there was something to the idea that one spa would cost considerably less to operate than another based on whether they had a pump going all the time, or just some times. (All other things being equal.)If it's a matter of $5 a month it may not be material enough for Evergreen, or anyone else to consider.
I, for instance, can say with confidence that I will guarantee chemical consumption for your Hot Tub to be less than $100 a year, or we will pay twice the difference, and we will stand behind that statement.
Is that $20 a month for a 110 volt spa, or is it $240 volt spa? I do not believe any 240 volt spa could honestly make that claim. How do the establish how much it does cost you on a month to month basis, winter or summer, and is there any cost to you to evaluate the electrical consumption. ? I think they come out a put a meter on the system, but are they going to leave it there for how long?Monthly cost of operation has a direct correlation to volts x amps = watts and 1,000 watts is a kilowatt and that is what we pay for.the largest electrical consumers in the operation of a spa are the cost of filtration run time + the cost of heating the water + the use of the hydro therapy functions of the spa.The circ pump is efficient but it has to turn over the gpm to filter the water clean, solid foam hold the heat in but you still have to replace lost heat, and when you turn those pumps on high, :-/
