Default ..have the old 60-amp fuse board and want a hot tub?

The 220-volt/15 or 20-amp line common to electric kitchen stoves has enough juice to power up a small, 4-person, rectangular, outdoor hot tub .... a $7500-Hot Springs Jet Setter-110v, or a $4500-Nordic Stella-110v, or a $500 Intex inflatable from Ocean State Job Lot.

So, if your cottage still has that 60-amp service, replacing an electric stove with a propane stove will free up the power needed to run that outdoor, 104-degree hot tub, without needing to upgrade the electric service from 60 to modern and expensive 200-amp, new service ... installed by a licensed electrician.

Your new outdoor hot tub will work just fine, for years and years and years .... like for 15 - twenty years ..... if it has a $125 custom wind & rain/snow cover on top of the original factory foam, heat cover.

For the best designed, most long lasting 110-volt outdoor hot tub, go to Abundant Life in Chichester NH and check out the Hot Springs-Free Flow-Azure for about $4400. They are a hot tub store with service, as opposed to a furniture store that sells hot tubs.
