(Fill up Faster!)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
Your hot tub has finally arrived and you can’t wait to get in, so standing there watching it fill up seems like a lifetime. So how long does it take to fill a hot tub exactly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An average-sized 300-gallon hot tub takes between 90 and 120 minutes to fill. Factors that influence fill time are water pressure, water flow rate, length and diameter of the hose, the time of day, and where you live. You can estimate the exact fill time by timing how long it takes to fill one gallon with your hose.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Besides fill time, there are other questions such as how far to fill up and whether it’s okay to add a little extra water? Read on to discover why getting the answers to those questions is so important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The water pressure has an enormous impact on how long it takes to fill your hot tub. If you have poor water pressure, it’s going to slow the time down considerably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Where your property is located has a huge impact on water pressure. Many people that live in rural areas rely on well water, which often has lower water pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you live in or town or city with a considerable population, you’ll usually find that you have higher water pressure levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a general rule, mains water pressure depends on how far away your home is from the nearest reservoir or supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Having said that, water pressure can vary greatly from someone living in the same street as you. For example, if you live at the top of a hill, your water pressure is likely to be weaker than the homes at the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The water pressure can also change depending on the time of the day. You may have noticed that the pressure is lower than normal in the early morning as more people are showering or in the evening when people are watering their yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The majority of homeowners use an outside hose pipe to fill their hot tubs, and the water pressure is affected by the length and diameter of the hose being used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pressure and flow rate are two different things. Water flow is how much water comes out of your pipes, and water pressure is the amount of force the water has when it exits the pipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pressure affects flow rate. If the pressure increases, then the flow rate increases with it. If the diameter of your hose is very narrow, it’ll have a lot of flow rate but with greater pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Having a wide diameter means that the water has a greater flow. Basically, more water is able to pass through because it’s so much bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWater pressure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
