That makes sence.  That would also explain why it would take twice as long
to heat up the hot tub at 110v.  It was running at half power.

I work with large Cisco networking equipment at work.  The large chassis
can can take different power supplies.  Some will run at 110v or 220v.  You
can buy a 4000 watt power supply that will run at 2000 watts if connected
110v or the full 4000 watt if connected 220v.  I assume that is due to the
single vs. dual phase connection?
