ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENT
DO NOT POWER THE SPA WITHOUT
FIRST FILLING WITH WATER!
DANGER – RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Installations that do not conform to the
following procedures and requirements
may expose users to electric shock.
Non-conforming installations will not be
covered under warranty.
If installed in the United States, the electrical
wiring of this spa must meet the requirements
of the National Electric Code (NEC) and any
applicable state or local codes. The electrical
circuit must be installed by an electrical
contractor and approved by a local building
electrical inspection authority.
1. Installations within 5 feet (1.5 m) of any
metal surfaces must ground the metal
surfaces to the hot tub. Use an 8 AWG
solid copper wire and attach it to the
grounding lug on the control box, located
in the equipment compartment.
2. Only a licensed electrician may install
power to the spa.
3. Power supply installation must include
a suitably rated ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) as required by NEC.
The circuit breaker must be dedicated
and should not be shared with any other
appliances. It must be labeled and easily
accessible to users.
4. The electrical supply for the spa must
include a suitable rated switch or circuit
breaker to open all ungrounded supply
conductors to comply with the National
Electric Code. The disconnecting means
must be readily accessible to the spa's
occupant but installed at least 5 feet
(1.5 m) from the spa water.
5. 230V Power supply lines must be hard
wired into the control box. DO NOT use
extension or plug-type cords of any kind.
The use of a shut-off box near the hot tub
is also recommended. This box provides
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
a quick and convenient method to shut off
power to the hot tub for emergencies and
maintenance.
6. Supply lines must be properly sized as per
the NEC. A ground line must be provided
that is as large as the largest current car-
rying conductor, but no less than 8 AWG.
Use copper wiring only.
7. Please open the front cover of the control
box, and follow the instructions and wiring
diagram printed on the backside.
8. All 115 V powered models must use the
provided 15 foot (4.5 m) GFCI cord and be
pluged directly into a dedicated grounded wall
outlet between 6' (1.8 m) and 10' (3 m) from
the spa
9. CAUTION, 230V POWERED SPAS –
These spas must be hard wired to your
household electrical service box only. Do
Not use an extension cord or any other
disconnect-able power cord. The use of
an extension cord or a disconnect-able
power cord is highly dangerous and will
void all warranties!
•
Wire size must be appropriate per NEC
and/or local codes.
•
Wire size is determined by length of run
from breaker box to spa and maximum
current draw.
•
THHN copper core wire is recommended.
•
All wiring must be copper to ensure
adequate connections. Do not use
aluminum wire.
