why can't you use an extension cord?

The hot tub requires too much power. The extension will short circuit every thing. Take it from me I learned the hard way.

Yes, pull the plug. The alternative would be to have an on/off switch on an extension cord.

I belive in the instructions somewhere there is a statement about not using an extention cord. I would need to check. Since I also bought the cart, I just roll it over to the outdoor outlet. I could use the heaviest outdoor cord.

I don't know why not. I also don't know why you want to use an extension cord. If you are thinking about a "power strip" be sure it is not the kind with a switch to turn off the power. If you are concerned about not being able to use the outlet for something else, I have mine plugged into the lower outlet and have a printer plugged into the upper outlet with no problem. If the outlets are horizontal/side by side then there will be a problem as the body of the unit is wide and will cover the outlet next to it. Hope this helps.

You can, but according to the information booklet you might see lot of noise on the line if you plug this to an extension cord.

With 6 plugins on the side socket, why would you use an extension cord? But yes you can because I have anextension plugged into one of the sockets.

O have an outlet box close to where I use the heater so I don't use any extension cord, however, you should be able to use a outdoor extension cord. I would also use a cord lock cover to protect the connection from rain or snow.

I thought it would be a issue that it states not to use an extension cord too, but honestly, the power cord is so long that I've gone half way around my house with it and not had any issues with shortage.

I think you could safely use a heavy duty grounded extention cord with it. It has a grounded 3 prong plug. I leave mine plugged in continuously to an outside grounded outlet. I assume that it's the typical "cover your butt" safety warning that says not to use an extention cord.

I have mine plugged into a power strip and it works perfectly fine. An extension cord should work just as well.

Sorry, don't know about those things. Manual says if you need to use an extension cord that it must be at least 10 amps and 120 volts. I hope that helps.

Since I operate my unit about at least 10 feet away from the wall outlet, I usually use an extension cord. And it works the same way as being plugged in the wall outlet, without any issues that I have noticed.

Not sure but since if an extension cord can be used but the product has a surge protector feature so it could well be ok. Remember that the average wall outlet is for a load max. of 15 amps and the extension cord drain should be of a concern.

You'd need a good extension cord. Don't see why not. They are very sturdy. Take it inside at end of day, as any other tool.

the cord is only about 4 feet long. I researched about adapters and couldn't find any. There were some people who rigged some wires for an extension but I never tried.

There's only a 6" long cord. You are suppose to connect your extension cord to it
