*Data is based on standard test procedure for Portable Electric Spas as stipulated in ANSI/APSP/ICC-14 [(optional 2019]. Note: This is the amount of power used during test conditions and does not include spa usage or extreme cold conditions. This data should be used only for comparison of spa models. Power is not monthly energy consumption. Duty cycle is estimated to be [insert duty cycle value in hours here. For standard spas, exercise spas, and combinations spas insert 8,760. For inflatable spas, insert 5,040] hours per year.
