Welcome to our forum.
Greetings all- I had a 2001 SOVEREIGN inside a glass Florida room in my old house I sold to a pastor friend. I'm looking for a hot tub now for my new house and this one will be outside on a deck. I went back to HS dealer today and also went to Jacuzzi too (first time) Jacuzzi dealer is saying that 50 amp system on SOVEREIGN will shut off heater once jets go on high and that the J-480 Jacuzzi with 60 amp system will continue to heat while running jets. My concern is this- With being outside in Ohio in winter and I sit in hot tub for 1/2 hour to 45 minutes at times will I experience water cooling and noticing in that amount of time?Also what other factors do I need to consider for an outside elevated deck install (besides deck being sturdy enough) ? I'm concerned that I should have a gazebo or some other type of cover to protect the hot tub.I'm looking for another longue since I had back surgery 3 years ago. Any suggestions? The SOVEREIGN moto massage was nice but it would 'stick'. So I'm after something a little more reliable this time around. I'll be wet testing some this week.Thanks for your time.God Bless all of you! :-)John

Welcome to the board Pastor_Mac. It's good to have another ethically minded person here as I am outnumbered by the heatherns.Two points:1. The Jacuzzi dealer is lying to you. The Sovereign heater will run even with the jets on using a 50 amp service. I will pray for him to turn from his wickedness.2. Two reasons the MotoMassage will stick: Dirty filters (99%), damaged MotoMassage assembly (1%).You might experience a 1 to 2 degree temperature loss on a very cold night. This will be the case no matter what brand you choose (unless you go with one of the poorly insulated spas and then you might lose 10-20 degrees rather quickly). However, the HotSpring Spas can be turned up as high as 108* should you need more heat. I do believe every other spa tops out at 104*. Just some information that might be pertinent to your situation.Good luck with your shopping. St. Terminator

Hate to toot our horn *honk* but our spas may go up a degree in temperature with the lid off and the pumps on. Heatlock baby!
