Welcome to our forum.
Hi,I'm new to the community and have been pouring over old posts--thanks to all of you for posting and sharing info! My husband and I are considering getting a hot tub--we've never had one before. I'm heavily leaning towards 110v systems because we live in Southern CA where it's typically either hot, warm, or mild, plus it would save almost 1K on electrical re-wiring.
I went to an authorized hot springs dealer nearby, but it was a bit hard to tell how "honest" they were since that's the only brand they sell. Planning to go to a larger store that sells many brands in order to get an unbiased review of options.
However, that's pretty much as far as I've gotten in the process. Anyone have strong opinions or thoughts about what the "best' 110 brand might be? Thanks!
Something not being discussed, or maybe you're not interested in, but 110/220 also should reflect your emphasis on hydrotherapy and possibly spa extras light lighting, etc. 110 will be limited to a one pump system with minimal jets, relative to a 220 system. It does cost more to run a 220 line vs "plug and play" but it costs more per day (generally) to run 110 vs a 220. *But* your 220 will likely have more motors and lights so it is almost a wash. Point is: It may not be so cut and dry, as everything is relative.
