How much does it cost to run a 110 hot tub?
Your hot tub electricity cost depends on a few factors: unit price per kilowatt hour, the temperature you heat the hot tub to and how often the tub is used. In advanced testing, we have found that it typically costs less than $1 per day to run a hot tub, with more recent spa models hovering around $23 per month.
Does a hot tub need to be perfectly level?

What’s the difference between 120V and 240V hot tubs?
The two hot legs (black + red) provide 240 volts (120V +120V). One hot leg with the neutral (white) wire provides 120V. The ground wire (green) carries no current except when a short circuit to ground occurs. This causes the circuit breaker to trip on overload (not to be confused with the safety function of the GFCI).

Why does my hot tub have a ground fault circuit breaker?
Your hot tub should have a ground fault circuit interrupter, or GFCI, breaker. This breaker automatically cuts off power to your hot tub to prevent electrical shock. The GFCI circuit breaker kicks in when unusual changes in the amount of power flowing through the circuit occur.
