My car does 0 to 60 in about 5 seconds....doesn't everyone's"?

According to the 2004 manual I have, no. They're all 240v only.

"Use a 50 amp 240 volt 4-wire GFCI circuit breaker for all Great Lakes Hot Tubs 240 volt models."

though, I may be missing a manual for that year, and there may be other models that are 110v or convertible. There should be electrical rating labels somewhere that clarify if it's possible or not.

In that case probably the cheapest, simplest solution is to add a subpanel next to your main panel.

Or switch out full size breakers for wafer breakers.
