• All 240V spas must be permanently hardwired to
the power supply. See US wiring diagram on page
11, European wiring diagram on page 12.
• Spas must be wired using this procedure. Any vari-
ance from these instructions will void your war-
ranty and may result in serious injury.
• When installed in the United States, the electrical
wiring of this spa must meet the requirements of
National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-2008 and
any applicable local, state, and federal codes.
GFCI and Wiring Requirements
• The power supplied to the spa must be on a dedi-
cated GFCI protected circuit as required by
ANSI/NFPA 70 with no other appliances or lights
sharing the power.
• Use copper wire with THHN insulation. Do not
use aluminum wire.
• Use the table on this page to determine your
GFCI and wiring requirements.
• When NEC requires the use of wires larger than
#6 AWG, install a junction box near the spa and
use #6 AWG wire between the junction box and
the spa.
• Wire runs over 85 feet must increase wire gauge
to the next lower number.
Testing the GFCI Breaker
Test the GFCI breaker prior to first use and periodi-
cally when the spa is powered. To test the GFCI
breaker follow these instructions
1. With spa operating, press the TEST button on the
GFCI. The GFCI will trip and the spa will shut off.
2. Reset the GFCI breaker by switching the breaker
to the full OFF position, wait a moment, then turn
the breaker back on. The spa should have power.
#%62-2+Never set a spa to run on high
power without installing a properly rated
GFCI.
