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.

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.

I've used a heavy duty grounded cord. You almost have to, the cord is so short.

You can use an extension cord but it needs to be the proper size. I think the book gives the specs. If not, they can be found on the minnkota website. I'm think my extension cord is 12 gauge 3 wire grounded because I wanted a 100 foot cord. A shorter extension can be a smaller gauge.

you can use a regular extension cord as long as it is a single outlet type. like the orange lawn kind.

The cord is quite short and is only meant to provide a point of connection. You'll need an extension cord.

No problem. I'm not sure, but I seem to remember it may require a 3 prong extension cord.

I plugged the unit into an outdoor grounded/ground fault outlet and ran an extension cord to our outdoor lights --- I don't see why you could not plug it into an extension cord as long as it is a grounded cord. But this would expose the unit to the timer to the elements

No, I think most of these are probably used in ceiling fixtures, so a plug in cord is not required. But you could easily adapt one.

Cord length is standard -5 or 6 ft. Yes you can use an extension cord with it.

My parents have an electric box right behind their birdbath so they don't need an extension cord. Sorry, but I don't know the answer to your question.

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.

Extension cord . . . . is there an alternative? I suppose you could get a generator out there.....

I do use a short extension cord. I don't have it anymore. It's not very durable. It started coming apart.

Technically you CAN if it is a 3 prong ... HOWEVER, you really shouldn't. Extension cords (according to most fire codes) are only supposed to go into an outlet. "Piggy-backing" extension cords is a fire hazard. That's one of the reasons I bought this one ... it has a SUPER long cord.

Extension cords are often not robust enough to handle the electricity needed by things like heaters. So, the worst that could happen is that the extension cord heats up, catches on fire, and burns the house down while you are sleeping.

This is just an extension cord. I don't see why it couldn't be used to power anything.
