2.2.1 120 VOlT SYSTEM
120 Volt wired Portable Spas come with
a 120 volt power cord. This cord contains
heavy duty No.12 wire and is designed to be
the ON L y cord connection between the spa
and the power supply. NEVER use an exten-
sion cord to bring power to the sPa.-Extension
cords create resistance and will caUE the spa
equ ipment to operate on too low levels of
voltage. This lower voltage will cause major
damage to the electrical components in the
spa and may void the warranty.
c.
local codes -check local codes per-
taining to fences, gates ai\d electric prior
to location of your spa.
Privacy and Wind Shielding -A sheltered
environment with less wind and weather
exposure can resu It in lowered operation
and maintenance costs. Also consider
view or non-view from the house,
proximity to change area and a pathway
to and from you r spa clear of debris and
dirt so as not to track them into the spa.
Spa Maintenance -Consider the spa
closeness to trees and shrubbery; leaves
and birds could cfeate extra work in
keeping your spa elean.

2.2 ELECTRICAL SERVICE
Spas equipped with LX or OX series
equipment skid.packs can be installed with
120 or 240 volts. Note that 240 volt
inStallation affects heater utilimion only.
Wired 120 volts. the heater draws 1.5 KW.
Connected with 240 volts. the heater draws
6.0 KW. All remaining electrical components
COntinue to operate on 120 volts protocted
by the 20- amperes syStem reset. (SEE SEC-
TION 1.3.4).
Use the supplied power cord to meaSJre the
distance to your electrical outlet If the cord
will not reaeh~ you muSt either move the spa
or have an electrician run a dedi~ted 120
volt, 20 ampere service to an ~ptable
proximity of the spa. .
Please check your power outlet before inStal-
ling the spa. This~outlet must have a minimum
of 120 volts and 20 amperes. In addition this
pOWer ret.-eptacle muS! be a aeaieated ~fvice,
meaning that no other outlets, appliiiiees or
devices can share the .me circuit. Other
appliances rOb tne circuit of the amperage
neceS$ary for the 5J>a to operate properly. Also
check that the circuit is properly grounded
and that the receptacle is properly OOnfi9tJred
to accept the pOwer plug. {SEE SECTION
1.3.1 ). In IC)me areas, a ground faUlt interrupter
may be required affnerecept8ble. Check your-
local building codes. If you have any doubts,
nave your circuit checked by a qualified and
lic-ensed electriCian. Onee the electrical
inspeetlon nas been coii'ipletea a~ any defici-
ency Corrected, you are ready to move on to
section 3.1 "Getting your spa rudy to u~".
In addition, your Spa has tfle unique
design flexibility to be conveFted to either a
240. V, 30 A syStem or a 240 V, 50 A syStem.
The basic differenceS be~een tfle tflree
electrical ~Stems are in the heater utilizitiori.
They are outlined as follows:
Supply Voltage
Supply Amerage
Heater -KW
Pump Low Speed -ON
Pump Jet (High) Speed -ON
Air Blower -ON
Jet and Air Blower -ON

All three syStems perform very well. System
selection depends upon personal preference,
household amperage availability and geo-
graphic location.
The following iRstfuetion5 are to be given to a
licensed electrician for his use to run a 240
volt hard conduit service to your ~a:
Note that although connecting any of the three
systems is easy, there are very important dif-
ferences in how each one is done. PLEASE,
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
USE A QUALIFIED AND LICENSED ELEC-
TRICIAN FOR 240 VOLT INSTALLATION.
