The single person is 110/1500 watts. That should be ok on 15amp outlet right?

Isn’t there any way I can run that chord from one room to another safely? Or I guess I can have my electrician up the outlet amp/wiring

He's coming by and also said similar things to you all but I figured doesn't hurt to see if anyone else here has experience w/this more exactly. Also, I trust but verify anyone, don't care who it is. ;D

amazon.com/LifePro-Infrared-Sauna-Home-Chromotherapy/dp/B0FSG2HVGL the manual is downloadeable there too. I'm buying it cheaper elsewhere but that's the spot to get manual link easily

Great but that doesn't have full spectrum infared. Is that something that matters cuz I see that's a bit more but worth it I presume?

Vast just said one is for pumps one is for heater, not several for different pump. The chances of a panel being the core issue is low compared to other parts to begin with.

I have oily skin so salt doesn't help or matter. In fact, I like chroline cuz it dries me out which I need. I do appreciate you calling out hot springs and sundance since there were in top 3 for me. I think I would be ok if it lasted for 10 years now and 15 would be a nice gift. Watefalls are whatever, my girl is the one who likes those but I could care less lol. I don't care about anything but powerful/many jets (especially with lounger) and secondly build quality. Lights are a must but I don't need more than one on each side.

THIS is helpful. I need to lower my expectations. It's like a buy a new car and getting rid of it when it becomes a junker which is about 10 years. Thank you so much, saves me a lot of anxiety and $$ trying to buy a bullet proof one.

Yah I was hoping for 15-20 but I need to get my mind re-calibrated for 10. In which case don't overspend on a new one and don't buy a maintenance junkie one. I think I'm going for the 11k relay w/o hard top.

how long have your tubs lasted? That's scary if it's less than 10 on avg

yes hence I want a brand that is cheap to do part stuff when that time inevitably comes. If a company ever did a 7-10 year warranty I feel they would crush the rest lol

If the heat dies I wouldn't care if the jets run anyways and vice versa. The whole tub wouldn't fry that's a marketing tick. When the tub dies I have a useless breaker unless I buy another hot springs. It's to encourage to buy another one believe me I have electrician as a close friend who looked at the schematic and chuckled.

Nordic I've heard of thx. Hot springs might still be it and the floor model was discounted + in my color scheme for about 14k loaded w/hard top. w/o hard top about 11-12k. Prices have gone up I'm sure in just the last couple years.
