When installing a hot tub, one question we often get is: “What power supply does my hot tub need?”. Understanding the power requirements of a hot tub is crucial for ensuring smooth installation and operation. At Seatherny, we’re here to support our customers at every stage. In this blog post, we’ll break down the different power supply options for hot tubs and explain what you need to consider for your specific setup.
The most common power supply for smaller hot tubs is 13AMP, which runs off a standard 3-pin plug. This type of setup is typically used for portable or inflatable hot tubs. It is easy to install and doesn’t require any hard wiring or complicated electrical work. A 13AMP hot tub can be plugged into an existing socket in your home, making installation much quicker.
However, it’s important to note that 13AMP hot tubs are generally less powerful than their larger counterparts. They may not offer the same level of heating or jet power as a more robust system. However, for those who are looking for an easy-to-install option with a more budget- friendly approach, they can be a perfect solution. Consider RentaSpa, our rental service, which allows you to enjoy a full hot tub experience – even with the 13AMP option.
13AMP hot tubs can only run either the jets or the heaters at one time. 13AMPs cannot run both so if you are sat in the hot tub of an evening with the jets on, the tub will by default lose temperature.
If you want a powerful hot tub with higher jet pressure and faster heating times, consider a 32AMP power supply. A 32AMP hot tub requires hardwiring to your home’s electrical system.
This type of installation should be done by a qualified electrician and allows for a more powerful system that can handle larger hot tubs and more demanding features.
The 32AMP power supply is commonly used for larger, permanent hot tubs. It supplies the extra power required for the robust pumps, heaters, and jets. While it might be more complicated to install than a 13AMP, it’s the better option for those who want a top-tier hot tub experience.
When deciding between a 13AMP and 32AMP power supply, the key factors to consider are the size of the hot tub, the features you want (such as advanced jets or faster heating), and the installation requirements.
At Seatherny, we offer both options, so you can choose the hot tub that best fits your needs and lifestyle.
Choosing the right hot tub for your home is an important decision, and understanding the power requirements is a crucial step in that process. Whether you opt for a 13AMP or 32AMP hot tub, we have a range of high-quality options to suit every need.

Had a great service from this company. Arrived on time, great hot tub and answered any later questions very quickly. We run an air bnb Hillcot Glamping and the hot tub has been a huge hit for wonderful star gazing. It is taking a lot of use and still looks good and works well. We would definitely recommend them and would buy another!! Thank you George and team.
