HAVE YOUR ELECTRICIAN READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE
INSTALLATION BEGINS
Electrical connections made improperly, or the use of wire gauge sizes for incurring
power which are too small, may continually blow fuses in the electrical equipment
box, may damage the internal electrical controls and components, may be unsafe and
in any case will void your warranty.
It is the responsibility of the spa owner to ensure that electrical connections are made
by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any local
and state electrical codes in force at the time of installation.
These connections must be made in accordance with the wiring diagrams found
inside the control box. This equipment has been designed to operate on 60Hz. alter-
nating current only, 240 volts are required. Make sure that power is not applied
while performing any electrical installation. A copper bonding lug has been provided
on the electrical equipment pack to allow connection to local ground points. The
ground wire must be at least 8 AWG copper wire (unless local or state codes require
a heavier gauge wire) and must be connected securely to a grounded metal structure
such as a cold water pipe. All equipment packs are wired for 240 VAC only. The only
electrical supply for your spa must include a 50 AMP switch or circuit breaker to open
all non-grounded supply conductors to comply with section 422-20 of the National
Electrical Code. The disconnect must be readily accessible to the spa occupants, but
installed at least five feet from the spa. A Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) must
be used to comply with section 680-42 of the National Electrical Code. A ground
fault is a current leak from any one of the supply conductors to ground. A GFCI is
designed to automatically shut off power to a piece of equipment when a ground
fault is detected.
Power hook-up to the spa must be 240 volt 3 wire plus 8 AWG copper ground (6 AWG
copper) 8 AWG copper ground.
Route the cable into the equipment area for final hook-up to terminals inside the con-
trol panel. The spa must be hooked up to a “dedicated” 240 volt, 50 amp breaker
and GFCI. The term “dedicated” means the electrical circuit for the spa is not being
used for any other electrical items (patio lights, appliances, garage circuits, etc.). If the
spa is connected to a non-dedicated circuit, overloading will result in “nuisance trip-
ping” which requires resetting of the breaker switch at the house electrical panel.
