Question: What voltage do you need for a hot tub?

All hot tubs require electricity. Regular hot tubs run on 110 volts, while an electrical hot tub runs on 220 volts. Electrical hot tubs will provide more power to the hot tubs heater and jets. People say “regular” simply because with a 110v hot tub, you can plug it into your normal outlet.
