I live in Minnesota. Temps go below zero come January. Will this hot tub hold 104 degrees at 110 volt or do you recommend we go with a 220 volt tub?

I live in the mountains of Idaho at 6,000 feet with cold and snowy winters. My 110 volt holds at 104 until you get in and take off the cover. After about 45 minutes it drops to 100 to 101. Good economical hot tub.

Unfortunately, I am from New Hampshire so I would not be the best one to answer this particular question. I don't see the temperature issue being a major one, other than the water would become quite warm, but that would happen with even in-ground pools in your part of the country. You might have to use a little more in the way of chemicals and have to "top off" the water every few days due to evaporation (but that would also keep the pool water cooler). In any event, we bought our intex easy set pool for $200 and for that money, we felt it was worth the experiment of trying an above-ground pool. It was a definite success. Good luck with your decision.

Hi Steve, I actually bought 2 of these for my mother's 175 gallon pond. We sat one on the bottom of each side of the pond and set the thermostat to 70 degrees. During the evening, we keep to surface covered with that blue bubble wrap stuff that people use to cover pools. Even during the coldest winter days, the pond water is still close to 70 degrees. Her tropical fish and turtles are still doing great with this setup 3 years later.

When we are not using it we turn it down to 86 then turn it up hours before use. It can go as low as you want 50's and if it is outside it can go as low as the temperature that it is exposed to if heater is not on. But you run risk of it freezing and thus popping the tub since it is inflatable. Like I said we keep it at 86 when not in use and even in very cold temps outside it is able to maintain the 86

They are referring to the heat dial not voltage. It is only for 110 outlets.The heat can be adjusted from 200 to 450 degrees. This is a great flat iron. Very easy to use and I love the comb. Hope this helped

I looked for this information in the specifications but wasn't able to find any detailed parameters. However, I did expose several (~20) of these modules to a temperature gradient of 172 degrees celcius and they continued to work fine. (I used these to generate a current using 100 degree boiling water and a -72 degree ethanol dry ice bath)

No, 104 is the max. Recommended temp for hot tubs generally is 100-104, and this tub achieves a good, hot temp. (It takes several hours to initially achieve the max temp but holds it pretty well thereafter.) Highly recommended.

you need 220, ...I have a double stall garage with tall ceilings and it works great as long as its insulated!

I use this unit for my washing machine, only to warm very cold well water. It has very low pressure and takes a very long time just to just take the edge off the cold water. I use a 60 amp, 240v unit for tub/shower. The slower the water goes through the heater unit, the hotter it gets, thus low pressure.

Hello Jonovan, Thank you for your question. EcoSmart spa heaters are 99% efficient. This heater will increase a 500 gallon spa water temperature by 15 degrees F in 100 minutes. If you have a water heater that is less efficient, then this heater will cut down on your electrical costs. Please let me know if I can assist you further. Kind Regards, Ross Kelson GadgetsGo Shopkeeper P.S. If you have found my answer helpful, please prefer us when you purchase. You will continue to get priceless service.

I use it below 40 with no problems. It generally only heats up to 102 when it's really cold. It cools pretty quickly if you use the jets. It's pretty awesome in general.

Charles is correct . . . when you decrease the input (volts) going in you won't get the full rated increase in output (hot water). So if the specs say it will raise two gallons of water say 50 degrees your best case scenario might only be 45 degrees. However, it will still work fine as we installed one in our business that did not have enough juice.

I just read the label on the iron. It clearly says 110-240 VAC. However you will need an adaptor US &gt; Its 40Watts Work better than all previous models temp goes up to 415 degrees

Mine is used in California, where we might see 28 degrees on rare occasions. I would think your only concern would be the operation of the 9 volt battery, as long as the rest of the unit is kept dry and indoors. You would need to find a website for your battery to check their specifications.

110 but I would NOT recommend this to anyone! I had one,,,temp had a 6-8 degree variant than what it showed. They sent me as new one, same thing. I know 2 other people that have had the same experience. JUNK,,,IMHO

I've had one for about 10 years in a studio apartment with low flow shower. A person can take an 8-10 shower before the water starts to go cold but the setting on the tank was set at maximum ie. around 140 degrees which is very hot and if one is not careful can scald. So upping the temperature is a way to get the most out of a small heater. I only have 120v so I am limited by that. I would prefer a tankless but don't have the 240v that is really required.

It heats to 104, which is very hot. We are just coming into colder weather with our tub, and it suppose to only run for 8 hours at a time. We turn it on when we go to bed, turn it off when we get up, and give it a couple hours rest. That way it doesn't get any lower than 80 degrees, we use it at least once a day if not more, and don't want to wait too long to get to a hot temp in the colder weather.
