Installation
The Cape Town hot tub is by default not configured for 240V. You can however use a local electrician to convert it to 240V, according to the instructions in the manual.
Daily usage
According to one customer it takes about a day and a half to get up to the max temperature. However, if the unit is converted to 220V, the water heats very fast at about 6-7 degrees per hour.
This depends of course on usage, but under normal circumstances you should replace your filter every 6 months.
The maximum temperature of the Cape Town hot tub is set at the maximum temperature allowed by law, 104 fahrenheit.
