I need help! I have a hot tub that was given to me that was broke.
I bought a pump for $200 and got someone to hook it up, that was not a electrician, Somehow it would only run from a extension cord and it would cut off if you ran it from the box they put on my wall.
It can run! I seen it! I just will not heat up.
So I got two more dummies to come look at it and one said that the box with all the wires was not good I needed another one and I should have bought a new tub altogether....
the other one said it was the wire running from the tub to the box ( which is side 8-? he said I needed a 12-? )to run from the box on the wall to the box on the tub......which that would be $50 for that wire. Then he would charge me $100 to put it on and was not sure if that was even the problem..
I do not see what all this has to do with getting it to heat up. What should I do? I have spent more than $400 on this hot tub not including the concrete. I cant find a local hot tub repair. I have all kinds of uncertain people telling me I need to buy more stuff for it .....I probably do not need. It has been sitting in my back yard for several months and now I have tadpoles living in it.....
Any suggestions very much appreciated
I have posted this before and someone gave me a diagram of a wiring guide...But I know nothing about electricity!
