 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

All local, state and national electrical codes must be observed by a licensed electrician in connecting power
to the Aquatic Whirlpool.

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING - 

When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be observed, including the following:

1.  

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2.  

Circuit - 

A separate circuit (not to supply any other electrical devices) is required as follows: Each electronic 

component (pump and heater) must be connected to a separate 120 VAC 15 AMP circuit. 

3.  

GFCI - 

A Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) must be installed in the circuits which bring power to the whirlpool; do 

not omit. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should 
be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground current flowing, indicating the possibility of 
an electric shock. Do not use this unit. Disconnect the unit and have the problem corrected by a licensed electrician 
before using.

4.  

Grounding - 

Motors have a three prong electrical plug. A ground should be run from J-box receptacle to electrical 

house panel per code.

5.  

Bonding - 

A pressure wire connector is provided on the exterior of some motors and heaters (optional) within this  

unit to permit connection of a No. 8 AWG solid copper bonding conductor between all electrical equipment, as 
needed to comply with local requirements. Double plastic insulated motors have no pressure wire connector as it  
is not needed.

6.  

Wall Switch - 

A remote wall switch is required by many state codes. It must not be within 5 ft (1.5m) reach of a 

bather while standing in the tub and it must be mounted at a height to be out of the reach of small children. Not 
further than 10 ft (3.0m) away. 

7.  

Integral On/Off Switch - 

For an Aquatic Whirlpool supplied with a motor that has an integral on/off switch - Make 

certain the air tube that is connected to the motor is also connected to the on/off button nipple under the deck in 
order for the system to function. Air tube must not be kinked, compressed, or slit.

8.  

Inline Heater (optional) - 

Units equipped with an inline heater have their own electrical pigtail and three prong plug 

to be plugged into its own dedicated circuit.
