Thanks for the info guys. I'm gonna talk to the landlord. We're good tenants and have been here 5 years now. Never asked for anything. Unfortunately he just had a heart attack yesterday so I'm gonna have to give it time. I'll check back in when I get get direct line installed. Or have an...

I gotta read about the settings and what ec, St and one other mode mean/do. Gonna have to make the cable/plug for a 20amp. Also, they didn't have a single receptical WITH a built in trip (gfci?) So I'm going to lave the 2 piece on and adding an angle plug so that no other plugs can be added

Crud I just realized that the 12 gauge cord that I purchased is only 15 amp. I'm going back to purchase that's 20 amp 3 prong plug that has one of the prong sideways.

The landlord knows I have a tub and have seen it when working on the AC recently. I'll double check, but that side of the house doesn't have many plugs. There are 4 outlets total that I've found. I can eminate the human error by using those blank/covers that won't allow anything to be plugged...

Just checked and the fan and light are on a different circuit. So nothing other that a two other outlets that are not being used and that I can tape over/block out are sharing that line.

The landlords would never go for it even if we paid. Otherwise I'd love a 240v hot tub. I've actually picked upsome really nice ones that we ended up selling (from spa removals) and would have kept them if I could use them. The cost of the 240 set up would be nothing since those 240v spas were...

Well, good news. It's a 20amp. Now I gotta find out what else is connected to it. Seems like it's only my daughter's room. She has a ceiling fan and it's light and a bathroom light. IF that's there is, should it be OK to use the tub assuming that I: 1. Move it to 5ft away 2. Get a 6ft 12...

I'm going to check the gage and amps. Plan B (since it isn't my house) is to find a spa that's 15amp? I can always sell this one and buy another one. Are there hot tubs that can work with what I have already? I have a 7x7 but can go power maybe a 7x5 since it's just me my girlfriend that use it.

Do you mean that the spa must be 5ft or the cord needs to be 5ft? The chord is 6ft and the spa is 3.5ft away from the wall to be exact. I'll check into the breaker being dedicated tomorrow. If I'm lucky, it will be. But not counting on it so I'll start thinking around it. I'll get a 12 gage...

Got it. I'll order one on Amazon. Do you think this one will do the trick? I don't see the Guage info anywhere Amazon.com : GFCI Cord Replacement for Hot Tub, Spa & Pool - 120V/15A Inline Style : Garden & Outdoor

The old wall unit didn't have that button/S that trip ot

It's 14 Guage, 6ft long. My brother replaced the old unit that goes into the wall. This new one has a waterproof cover and that trip button (I think it's a gfci)?

It's Ben running for 4hrs and hasn't overheated. It's at 99 degrees now and set to go to 102. I touched the cable and plug, they feel warm, but not hot. Seems to be working fine

Thanks for the info. I did have someone come take a look at it when I couldn't figure out why it wasn't heating up. They determined it was the pumps low speed. I then purchased another pump for 120v set up. I've left the hot tub on for 2 months, set to 104 and used it regularly about 4-5x per...

The old owner did the conveison from 240v to 120v himself. Used that orange "cheap" cord. That cord is 24ft long with that attachment. I upgraded the ground to the solid copper cable. Then I changed the plug and used an 8ft heavy duty cord. I believe it's more HD than the orange one that...

Here are the burned prongs

Here are a a few images. I added that yellow extension unit in case it ever overheated since my daughter is a foot away. Pump and heater are about 2 months old. Has been working perfect since. See the green ground cable thats going from the pump to the post/box, its not original, its what I...
