For those who feel running a 240v electrical line either isn’t convenient, isn’t in the budget, or just isn’t feasible for your particular property and situation, a 120v hot tub San Diego would be a better option. While there are minor tradeoffs, these models can still give you an incredible experience.

What are the advantages of 120v hot tubs in San Diego?

This means they are capable of reaching the same temperatures as a 240v hot tub. Even though initial heat up times may be a little bit slower, these spas are designed specifically to maintain temperature between soaks. Another thing to consider is that 120v hot tubs do tend to be slightly smaller than most of the dedicated 240v hot tubs on the market. For those not looking to entertain a ton of people, this will not be an issue. In fact, we find most people that buy 120v hot tubs are using them specifically for hydrotherapy purposes.

Another benefit of these unique hot tubs is that most people already have what they need to get up and running. Really, the only things required are a dedicated, 120v outlet in their backyard or on their patio and a garden hose to fill it up. (For those that aren’t familiar with what a dedicated line is, it means an outlet or electrical line that isn’t shared with anything else that would draw electricity). Also, since these models are also a little on the smaller side, they are ideal for patios of all sizes including town homes or condos. Plug and play as they say!

Final thing to note, 120v hot tubs San Diego won’t have quite as many components as 240v hot tubs. The reason for this is simple, there just isn’t enough electricity to work with to put too many different parts in there. This doesn’t mean much really, but it is something important to note if you are comparing a 240v model to a 120v hot tub. Depending on the model though, you can still achieve an incredible massage and get just as many years of reliable operation.

What if you change your mind and want 240v?

Most 120v spas are what is called convertible. This means they can operate on either 120v or 240v. When wired 240v and properly converted, your heater will now operate at a higher capacity giving you faster heat times (your jet pump however will still only utilize 120v power and its performance will not be affected by using 240v electrical). This also gives you the ability to operate the heater and the jet pump at the same time. While this won’t mean much to those of us in fair weather climates, those in colder or snowy climates find this beneficial. For those who buy a 120v hot tub, you likely won’t notice the difference.
