found a local guy that one of my roomate knows that will do it for free if we buy the materials and beer WINNING. As far as moving it, we had 10 guys pretty big and it was still a struggle. Easily a 1000 lb tub.

assuming you're alive, you could just walk over to the hospital...
well i think if i angle the trajectory of myself after i hit 220 with my screwdriver i should atleast get a headstart of about 5-10 feet right ? Ill just crawl the rest of the way. Ill take the secondary precations and make sure i have my nikes on.

Yes, the 6ga wire will handle it just fine. Your tub may be different, but mine has 2 dual speed 6 hp. pumps and a 6k watt heater, it pulls a lot of power when the filter cycle kicks on both pumps and the heater is running. So per the mfr., a 50amp breaker is required. And yes, the outside disconnect box needs to be 10 feet away per code.
When I had a few electricians come out and quote the job, I was quoted between $500-$800 with materials for this job.
Well shit on that note im doing it my dam self, i was thinking a 100 bucks. Ripoff merchants.

^^^^ He beat me too it. Also make sure to get a good outdoor rated connection box so you dont fry yourself in the rain. Turn the power off to the house and get to work.
Also if your smart, you can set up your Hot Tub box so that you can use it to back feed your house panel with a generator in case of power outtages. Again, before backfeeded a panel you want to make sure the main is OFF.
Well what if i leave the power on and just use a screwdriver with a big rubber handle

im gonna browse around for a bit atleast see if its worth the risk of no warranty depending on how much people charge. Id rather spend the money and give someone some work, maybe get to know a good electrician for the future.
Anyone know anyone decent in the riverside hospital columbus area?

I've hooked up a few hot tubs in my time, it's not difficult and I'm not an electrician. Go get yourself some 6ga. 3 conductor w/ground cable and run it yourself, you'll save easily a few hundred bucks this way. You'll also need a 50 amp breaker made for your box, not a 30. Make sure the wall mount box that came with the tub has a GFCI in it and it needs to be at least 10 feet from the tub.
**Make sure you turn off your main breaker before messing with the electric box**
thanks for the advice, i was just thinking probably should run it myself. Few Q's
10 feet from the tub makes it up to code or is that just a suggestion?
6gage wire can handle 50 amps ? Why the extra 20?
The guy i just purchased it from said he was running 30 amps no problems.
-
LOL look at the kid riding it he needs the bike to pick up them byg gyrls.
-
Oh shit you just called the mighty bird a liar
I usually would, i redid my basement and ran the 110 line but i think for 220 i should have someone licensed do it just for the warranty? Unless youve done 220 and can tell me the extra precautions i need to take.

I got a key cut buy them for my bike when i lost mine, they cut it different on both sides now i have to wiggle it everytime i start my bike lol.

I just bought 8x8 10 seater hot tub but the closest 220 line there is is about 15 feet away running to my dryer, im pretty sure that i need a seperate line anyway on a 30 amp breaker. Does anyone on here do electrical work, if it could be done today itd be great but let me know if anyone is available to do this kind of work period. I would rather pay someone on here than some random electrician.
Hot tub is about 50 feet from the breaker box
Hot tub came with wall mount box
-

just try and get your money back dont bother tracing the ip cause i can assure you he is running his server in dayton at best and not running his computer. Or possibly his proxy is hosted there. No real way to track them but if you get an address you can get the tracking number of the package and give him a present when he picks it up.

one of the biggest problems on ebay right now is quality ebayers getting their accounts hacked and having false ebay auctions run under their name. So they are very hard to tell if they are fake. I usually will send someone an email before i purchase anything or give them a call to ask about the item.

Who buys a sportbike for long distance rides? I hit twisty roads with mine and MAYBE hit a few different gears. I haven't really found a need for 170hp on the street and there are very few people (uncle punk excluded) that ride through twisty roads on a 1000 that can keep up with a 600. They just rely on the straights to catch back up what they loose in the corners. I just can't see spending the extra money on the bike and insurance to warrent having a bigger bike.
LOL you clearly have not ridden with the guys from newark.
Need a 220 line run too a hottub
