FAQ
Does the AquaRest Spas Discover AR-400 need a dedicated circuit?
No. The Discover AR-400 runs on a standard 120v 15-amp outlet (often labeled “plug-and-play”). The cord ends in a built-in GFCI plug that protects against ground faults. No electrician work, no permit. Just check that the outlet isn’t shared with anything else drawing power.
Does the AquaRest Spas Discover AR-400 include a cover?
Cover inclusion varies by retailer and bundle. Verify on the listing before you purchase — a third-party replacement runs $250–$500 if you have to buy one separately.
When does the AquaRest Spas Discover AR-400 warranty start?
Warranty start dates vary by manufacturer policy on the Discover AR-400. Most start on the delivery date, not install or fill. Save the original receipt and delivery confirmation — warranty disputes in this category often come down to documenting purchase date.
