Provide A View With Your Spa
Think about the direction you will be facing when sitting in your spa. Do you have a special landscaped area in
your yard that you find enjoyable? Perhaps there is an area that catches a soothing breeze during the day and
lovely sunset in the evening. Consider these things when you plan your location.
Keep Your Spa Clean
Prevent unclean things from being tracked into your spa by utilizing a foot mat at the entrance where the
occupants can clean their feet before entering your spa.
Allow For Service Access
Many people choose to install a decorative structure around their spa. If you are installing your spa with any type
of structure on the outside, such as a gazebo, remember to allow access for service. It is always best to design
special installations so that the spa can still be moved, or lifted off the ground.
ELECTRICAL SETUP BEFORE DELIVERY OF YOUR SPA
IMPORTANT
:
When installed in the United States, the electrical wiring of this spa must meet the
requirements of the National Electric Code (NEC) and any applicable state or local codes.
The electrical circuit must be installed by an electrical contractor and approved by a local
building/ electrical inspector.
1.
All 240V spas must be permanently connected (hard wired) to the power supply. 120V spas may use a
G.F.C.I. cord, plugged into a dedicated grounded outlet. Supplying power to a spa which is not in
accordance with these instructions will void both the independent testing agency listing and the
manufacturer’s warranty.
2.
The power supplied to the spa must be on a dedicated circuit with no other appliances or lights sharing
the power.
3.
To determine the current, voltage, and wire size required for the spa configuration to be connected, refer
to the following:
- Wire size must be appropriate per NEC and/or local codes.
- Wire size is determined by length of run from breaker box to spa and maximum current draw.
- We recommend copper wire with THHN insulation.
- All wiring must be copper to ensure adequate connections.
Do not use aluminum wire
.
- When using wire larger than #6 (10mm
2
), add a junction box near the spa and reduce to short lengths
of #4 (10mm
2
) wire between the junction box and the spa.
4.
The electrical supply for the spa must include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to open all
ungrounded supply conductors to comply with Section 422-20 of the National Electric Code, NSI/NFPA
70. The disconnection point must readily accessible to the spas occupant. Check with local
municipalities for additional code requirements.
5.
The electrical circuit for the spa must include a suitable GFCI as required by NEC Article 680-42.
