Voltage Options for Hot Tubs

Need to relax? Need to find some time away from the stress and chaos of the day? Having a hot tub in your own backyard offers you the opportunity to destress and rest instantly! Don’t add to your stress by worrying about what voltage your hot tub should be. At Bonnie & Clyde’s Pools and Spas, we can put your mind at ease about the voltage options that work best for your house when you purchase your hot tub. Our customer service experts are knowledgeable and professional, available at six convenient locations to serve you.

Understanding Voltage

What is voltage anyway? It is simply the term that describes the watts of electricity that flow through the wires. There are two voltage options for hot tubs that are available – the 120V and the 240V. The voltage of the hot tub does NOT affect the jet power, as is often thought to be the case. Both voltage options have features that make them unique, and there is no “one size fits all.” You should choose the hot tub that will best meet your hydrotherapy needs and recreation wants.

Affordable 120V

The 120V is a great choice if your hot tub will need to be more easily moved. Maybe you will change your mind about its location, or maybe you know you will be moving to a new house in a few years and plan to take the hot tub along with you. This voltage option is also very cost efficient because you don’t have to change any power outlets to plug it in for use. You can simply add water, plug the hot tub into the nearest standard electrical outlet, and start relaxing in the swirling warmth!

Accessorizable 240V

The 240V is another amazing hot tub voltage choice! If you like to entertain, the 240V would be a great option, since it is often a larger hot tub. The 240V will also heat the water faster, but that will only matter on the initial fill-up of the spa. Many of the 240V models also have larger accessories like stereos, lighting features, or even waterfalls that make them appealing to the eye. It can also support multiple pumps if that is something you want to consider adding to your hot tub. Just remember that the jets are not necessarily affected by the higher watts.

Making the Choice

Remember that voltage options are not anything to stress about! If you already own a 120V but are thinking of converting it to a 240V so that you can make your spa a permanent fixture, you can. Both types of hot tubs will keep the water warm, inviting, and relaxing, during any season of the year! No matter which voltage options you choose, you will have the therapeutic machine of your dreams. You can soak alone, spend time with your special someone, or host a party with friends – the possibilities are endless! Contact us and find a steal of a deal at Bonnie & Clyde’s!
