1.3 Electrical Warning
Important: The following electrical warning is intended to minimize electrical risks associated with the installation and
use of your DCT Chiller. Please note that electrical codes and safety practices can vary based on your location. It is
essential to follow the latest local electrical codes and regulations to ensure a safe installation. We highly recommend
consulting a licensed electrician who is familiar with your area's codes and requirements for pools and spas.
Electrical Codes and Requirements:
Follow the latest applicable electrical codes for pools, spas, and similar water-related installations in your
region. Compliance with these codes is critical to preventing electrical hazards.
Codes such as the National Electrical Code (NEC) in the United States and the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards for other countries often provide guidelines specific to pools
and spas.
Electrical Outlet Selection:
Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) wall outlet for your cold plunge to minimize the risk of
electrical shock.
Ensure that the outlet is rated for outdoor and wet locations. GFCI outlets are designed to detect imbalances
in electrical current, providing an added layer of safety.
Dedicated Breaker and Wiring:
Install a dedicated circuit breaker for the cold plunge to prevent electrical overload. The amperage and
wiring requirements should be determined by a licensed electrician based on the manufacturer's
specifications and local codes.
NEC Article 680 outlines guidelines for wiring and electrical equipment used in swimming pools, spas, hot
tubs, and similar installations.
Minimum Distance from Outlets:
Maintain a minimum distance of at least 6 feet between the cold plunge unit and the nearest plug or outlet.
This distance helps minimize the risk of accidental contact with water and electrical components.
