ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Do not place your spa within 3 metres of overhead power lines.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
You will need a suitable electrical supply to run the spa.
The Portsea Luxury Spa requires a hardwired 32Amp Residual Current Device Protected Dedicated Power
Connection. Your Licenced Electrical Contractor can hardwire the spa straight to the meter box in your
house or they can install a hardwired 32Amp residual current device protected dedicated isolation switch.
ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS REQUIRE YOUR LICENCED ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR TO
INSTALL THE APPROPRIATE SIZED RCD IN THE HOUSES METER BOX.
It is the responsibility of your Licenced Electrical Contractor to ensure the Residual Current Devise is installed
at the correct mA required by the law.
When appointing an electrician to prepare your spas electrics check that they are suitably qualified and
licenced to do so. Do not attempt to install the spas electrics yourself if you are not a fully Licenced Electrical
Contractor. The spa must be wired on its own fused circuit back to your household meter box. The spa should
not be sharing power supply with any other appliances.
We recommend you install a hardwired 32Amp residual current device protected dedicated Rotary Isolation
Switch so that the spa can be isolated from the power supply in an emergency or for service work. This is
simply a rotary on/off switch but should be sited more than 2 metres away from the spa so that users cannot
be in the spa whilst operating the switch.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION POINT LOCATION
To hardwire the spa your Licenced Electrical Contractor will locate the electrical connection point here,
unscrew and remove the cabinet panels directly underneath the spas touch pad.
While your electrician is on site make sure all the pumps are running before they leave site.
