What is the electrical requirement for a new hot tub?

Before you finalise your purchase of the perfect hot tub, we always like to go over every step of the process from sale to installation. The question we get asked more times than not is “What is the electrical requirement for a new hot tub?” It can determine where you place your tub or even the type of tub you can have at home.

 

A ready and working electrical set up will also make sure everything goes smoothly on the day of installation and you can start relaxing from the first moment. When everything is in place at your end it makes installation a breeze.

The big question to get right is 13 or 32 amp. A 13 amp is considered a plug and play. The simple and common three pin plug connector just plugs in and you are ready to go. A 32 amp is a larger cable and will require work by a qualified electrician before installation, please check with us before if you are unsure.

Generally speaking, larger hot tubs and spas have more jets, so you are looking at a 32-amp requirement. It is worth considering this when choosing your new hot tub or spa. Always consult a qualified electrician to carry out this work, we are more than happy to recommend these to you.
