Maximum Standby Power (Watts)
 
Standard spas and the standard spa portion of combination spas
Where: ΔTstd = 37 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius)
3.75V2/3+40
 
Exercise spas and the exercise spa portion of combination spas
Where: ΔTstd = 22 degrees Fahrenheit (12.2 degrees Celsius)
3.75V2/3+40
 
Exercise spas and the exercise spa portion of combination spas capable of maintaining a minimum water temperature of 100oF for the duration of the test
Where: ΔTstd = 37 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius)
3.75V2/3+40
 
Inflatable spas
Where: ΔTstd = 37 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius)
7(V2/3)
 
Where:
Pnorm = normalized standby power = Pmeas (ΔTstd/ΔTmeas), in Watts;
Pmeas = E/t:
E = total energy use during the test, in Watt-hours;
t = length of test, in hours;
ΔTmeas = Twater avg - Tair avg;
Twater avg = average water temperature during test;
Tair avg = average air temperature during test;
V = the fill volume, in gallons"
