Many people use a hot tub in their backyard to relax after a tough day at work. Hot tubs provide many benefits to improve your mental and physical health. Installing a hot tub in your backyard is not difficult. You need a solid, level location, electricity, and a garden hose nearby. But for your preferred location, it is possible that the power cord is not long enough to reach the wall outlet. What should you do in this case?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can you use an extension cord for a hot tub?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
In general, it is not recommended to use a generic extension cord for a hot tub. In many cases, the power is too great for an extension cord to handle. If you need to use an extension cord, ensure you select a heavy-duty 14 gauge or thicker. Use the shortest possible length, and ensure that it is completely unwound. The extension cord should be water and weather-resistant for outdoor use, use a 3 prong grounded plug.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
