TUE
Measured full-on energy consumption with an induction ammeter (both pumps, and
heater on):
Power leg 1: 30.1Amps
Power leg 2: 30.4 Amps
Therefore, watt consumption at full on is: 7,260 (7.2 KWH)
It makes sense to downgrade the 50A breaker to 40A, for safety.

Spa delivered and setup.
6:30pm> Spa temperature = 84
deg F. Turned on spa heat at this time.
9:30pm> Spa temperature =
approx. 98 deg F.
Avg Ambient temp approx 78 deg F.
Therefore, spa heats at about 14 deg F in 3 hours = 4.6 deg
per hour.
Initially I was floating quite a bit (temp <90 deg. When
the temp was hotter (95-98 deg), I seated better.
