110 VOLT ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS:
*The above models are manufactured with the Carolina Spas™ 110V/220V convertible spa pack .
The units are factory wired for 220 Volt applications with 4 kW heater operation . The models
can be converted for 110 Volt applications and to run with a 1 kW heater operation .
The 110 Volt model must be connected to a “dedicated” 110 Volt 20 Amp grounded
circuit . The term “dedicated” means the electrical circuit is not being used for any other
electrical items (lights, appliances, etc .) . If the spa is connected to a non-dedicated
circuit, overloading will occur and nuisance tripping of the GFCI breaker switch at the
house breaker panel or GFCI cord will occur . Never connect the spa to an extension
cord due to the potential for fire from wires overheating .
The 110 Volt models may be optionally equipped with a GFCI power cord
(approximately 13 feet long) . This model must be plugged into a grounding type,
110 Volt 20 Amp receptacle as shown below . No other electrical appliances or fixtures
should be used on this circuit .
The use of any other receptacle or the connection of the plug to a 220 Volt service may
cause the spa pack to operate improperly, create the potential for an electrical hazard and
may void the spa warranty.
Carolina Spas™ models must be wired in accordance with all local electrical codes . All
electrical work should be done by an experienced, licensed electrician familiar with spa
installations .
Note:
As of January 1, 1996 the National Electrical Code (NEC) requires a GFCI
(Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) on all spa installations .
