Commonly Asked Questions

y Do I need a building permit?

Most cities and counties require permits for exterior

construction and electrical circuits. Check with your county

or city to see if a building permit is required for spa

installation.

y Do I need a fence or a gate around my spa?

Some communities have codes requiring residential barriers

such as fencing and/or self closing gates on the property to

prevent unsupervised access to a spa by children under

five years of age. Consult your local or county building

codes to determine the need for a fence or gate.

y Do I need a plumber?

No plumbing is required; your QCA Spa is entirely self-

contained. Fill the spa using a garden hose; to empty,

siphon with a garden hose or use a submersible pump.

y Do I need an electrician?

Yes, you will need to hire an electrician to install the 240 volt

50 AMP neutrally protected G.F.C.I. (Ground Fault Circuit

Interrupter) which are sold separately. Your main breaker

box will also need to have a 50 AMP breaker. Your spa is

hard wired through the floor or side wall of the spa cabinet,

directly into the spa’s control pack. The G.F.C.I. is installed

next to the spa on an exterior wall at least 10 feet from the

spa water. (Exception: Models 0, 0HSM, 1,1P, 2P, 10, 14, 14P,

and 25 come with a 15’ G.F.C.I. protected cord and plug

into any 120 V / 15 AMP wall outlet.)
