Spa Operator’s Guide

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENT’S

HAVE YOUR ELECTRICIAN READ THE FOLLOWING

INFORMATION BEFORE INSTALLATION BEGINS

Electrical connections made improperly, or the use of wire gauge sizes

for incurring power which are too small, may continually blow fuses

in the electrical equipment box, may damage the internal electrical

controls and components, may be unsafe an in any case will void the

warranty.

It is the responibility of the spa owner to ensure that electrical

connections are made by a qualiﬁed electrician in accordance with

the National Electrical code and any local and state electrical codes in

force at the time of installation.

These connections must be made in accordance with the wiring

diagrams found inside the control box. This equipment has been

designed to operate on 60Hz, alternating current only, 240 volts

are required. Make sure that power is not applied while performing

electrical installation. A copper bonding has been provided on the

electrical equipment pack to allow connection to local ground points.

The ground wire must be at least 6 AWG copper wire and must be

connected securely to a grounded metal surface such as a cold water

pipe. The electrical supply for your spa must include a 50 AMP switch or

circuit breaker to open all non-grounded supply conductors to comply

with section 422-20 of the National Electrical Code. This disconnect

must be readily accessible to the spas occupants, but installed at least

ﬁve feet from the spa. A ground fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) must

be used to comply with section 680-42 of the National Electrical Code.

A ground fully is a current leak from any of the supply conductors to

ground. A GFCI is designed to automatically shut off power to a piece

of equipment when a current fault is detected.

Power hook-up to the spa must be a 240 volt 3 wire plus ground (6

AWG copper).

Route the cable into the equipment area for ﬁnal hookup to terminals

inside the control panel. The spa must be hooked up to a “dedicated”

240 volt, 50 amp breaker and GFCI. The term “dedicated” means

the electrical circuit for the spa is not being used for any other

electrical items (patio lights, appliances, garage circuits, etc.) If the

spa is connected to a non-dedicated circuit, overloading will result in

“nuisance tripping” which require resetting of the breaker switch at the

house electrical panel.

(Excludes any 110/120 volt models.)
