    Hot Tub Wiring

    I am running the wire for my hot-tub, and I had a few questions. 1.) My electrician told me I needed Type SO 6/3 wire, and I don't understand what the Type SO means, and is it really needed? I am running it through my attic, and its going about 70ft. 2.) He gave me two options of either...
