Great question. Haven’t really noticed much of a change at all. It has gone up, but $10 or $20? You see I’m also running my portable A/C so I can’t really tell you what is what with a small increase. So let’s put it this way, it hasn’t gone up by $50, $100 or $200, so I’m happy to pay a tad more for cooling in the summer and hot tub before bed!!! Hope this helps a bit.. enjoy your tub! It’s worth it!

And if you’d do me and everyone who looks at this video a favor… if you can gauge your increase per month and come back here and post it, that would probably helps others a lot! Thank you again and cheers!

@@richgibson1816 ok good to know, thanks

@@richgibson1816 will do, it'll be from a frosty Canadian perspective for those of us in the north. Thanks again

After I filled it up the first time, I had the jets on and it took 26 hours to heat up. The second time I had the jets turned off so it just recirculated the water through the heater and it took 16 hours. Just turn it on, make sure the keys are off, and keep the cover on.., Hope that helps! Cheers!

@@richgibson1816 hmmmm… we just got ours, filled it up and turned it on… I’m able to turn the jets on settings 1 & 2. But they NEVER actually turn off… or go lower power than setting 1. After the set temperature is reached does the pump go slower than setting 1 which is low. Do the jets turn off once the temp is reached ?

@@salmonkiller2545 oh right. So it does runs constantly until it reaches your hot water setting. So yes, it will run continually until it reaches temp. What I’m talking about is the valve to have it bubble hard or soft up next to your switch controls… look at the video at minute 4:53. You’ll see where to keep the valve off while circulating and heating… when you use the tub, get in, hit the switch for high/low, the turn the valve for high pressure jets or off. Don’t worry! Once it’s up to temp, it’ll kick on and off very seldom! Cheers

@@richgibson1816 ok thanks.. it doesnt say this ANYWHERE in the manual....

@@salmonkiller2545 I know!!! That’s why the first time I heated it up, I have the “jets” valve turned on and it took so long for it to come up to temp. I figured (wrongly) that if the air bubbles (jets) were on high, it would heat faster. But I found out that when the jets are on high, those bubbles are outside air being used for pressure and it actually cools it off while being used… also, when you’re done with a hot tub session, your tub will run for awhile, while it comes back up to your temp setting. So, unless you’re in the tub and using the jets on high, turn off the jets so it can heat faster!

No… like I said on the video, I just keep the bubble switch off and it heats up. I went with the 110 instead of the 220, and I’m sure the 220 would be much faster on initial heat up, but I was good waiting. So 16 hours from 63 degrees to 103. Then, it does not cycle too very often to stay at 103. Good insulation and heat retention. I really love this tub! Cheers
