Operating instructions

13 VITA SPA DUET
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
REQUIREMENTS
The spa must be connected to a dedicated
120 volt, 15 amp, grounded circuit.
The term “dedicated” means the electrical
circuit is not being used or shared for any
other electrical items (patio lights, appliances,
garage circuits, etc.). If the spa is connected
to a non-dedicated circuit, overloading may
result in “nuisance tripping” at the main panel.
CORD CONNECT
The Vita Spa Duet Model comes with a power
cord which contains the GFCI breaker. All
electrical connections from the control pack
to the outlet should be done by a quali ed
electrician.
For your safety, when the electrician is
installing the 15 amp single electrical outlet
and waterproof cover, the outlet should be no
closer than 6 feet (1.83 meters) and no farther
than 10 feet from the spa [reference N.E.C.
Article 680 and all local codes]
The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is
located on the power cord. This device is for
your protection. It is very important to protect
it along with the moisture resistant cover from
damage. Test once a month, with the plug
connected to the power supply.
NEVER CONNECT THE SPA TO AN
EXTENSION CORD!
A pressure wire connector is provided on
the exterior surface of the control box, inside
the spa. This is to permit the connection of a
ground bonding wire between this point and
any metal equipment, enclosures, reinforced
concrete pad, pipe, or conduit within 5 feet
of the spa (if needed to comply with local
building code requirements). The bonding
wire must be at least a #10 AWG solid copper
wire.
Bond the spa to all exposed metal equipment
or  xtures, handrails, and concrete pad per
N.E.C. Article 680 and all local codes.
1. Push the “TEST” button on the GFCI breaker.
The spa should stop operating and the GFCI
power indicator will go out.
2. Wait 30 seconds, then push the “RESET”
button. Power will be restored to the spa and
the GFCI power indicator will turn on.
If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, your
spa may have an electrical malfunction, and
you may be risking electrical shock. Turn o
all circuits and do not use the spa until the
problem has been corrected by an authorized
service agent.
WARNING: Removal of the GFCI from the
spa’s power cord will result in an unprotected
spa and will void the spa’s warranty.
IMPORTANT: Should you ever  nd the
need to move or relocate your Vita Spa, it
is essential that you understand and apply
these installation requirements. Your Vita
Spa has been carefully engineered to provide
maximum safety against electric shock.
Caution: Risk of electrical shock.
Read and follow all instructions.
