So I know a lot of the plug and play spas can be converted from 110v operation to 220v operation but I was wondering if there was one where it was relatively easy to do? I.e. can be done without needing to call an electrician to rewire it. I don't mind if it stays hard wired I just don't want it to use the full 220v.
The reason I'm asking is we're considering getting a hot tub and the area we'd like to put it already has a panel wired for 220v 30A, so in theory hard wring it would be fairly easy. Unfortunately we have an above ground pool that is already using one leg of that 220v circuit so that combined with the spa would be to much. I was thinking of we did want to run at 220v we'd either need to upgrade to a 50A line or run a whole new 30 or 40A line either of which will be very expensive and require digging up or yard or making a bunch of holes in our walls (neither of which is ideal).
It was then I realised that 220v is really only important in the winter and the pool would be shut down then anyways. So if there was a way that I could easily switch between 220v and 110v when I opened and closed the pool then I could get the best of both worlds without needing to run a new line. However I don't want to need to call an electrician in to re write everything twice a year. So is there something I could get that would work for my needs?
