    220V element on 120V
    I have a spa with a 220V element running on 120V 15A because
    It is wired for it and 220V is unavailable at the location. I
    Realize it runs at 1000W. My question is: would a true 1000W
    Heater heat the water back to temperature quicker (the
    4000W element seems sluggish: slow to heat up, then
    Slow to cool down).
