INSTALLATION  INSTRUCTIONS

Site Selection/Preparation

The spa must be installed on a structurally strong, solid and reasonably level surface. The
site should allow for drainage away from the equipment compartment in which the elec-
trical components are housed. Take into account the following when considering
prospective sites:

LOCAL CODES:

There may be certain restrictions and/or requirements that are particular to your locality.

DELIVERY PASSAGEWAY:

Doors, halls, stairs, etc. may pose obstructions to deliver the spa to its intended site.

MAINTENANCE:

Trees, lawn, placement surfaces, etc. can create extra work in keeping your spa and spa
area clean and safe.

PRIVACY & WIND SHIELDING

A sheltered environment can result in lower operating and maintenance costs.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND INSTALLATION:
Important:

Your spa is wired to meet the requirements of 

UL, ETL,

and the 

National

Electrical Code (NEC).

Any modifications required to meet state or local codes must be

performed by a qualified,

LICENSED

electrical contractor and approved by a local build-

ing/electrical inspection authority.

1. Your spa operates on 

110v

and draws approximately 

8-10 amps

while operating. The

spa comes equipped with a 

GFCI (ground fault circuit)

built into the supplied 15 foot

power cord.Therefore, your spa 

must not 

be plugged into a GFCI protected receptacle.

2. You can plug the spa into any standard 

15 amp., 3 prong “NEMA” female receptacle.

Special 20 amp. outlets are not required. Simply feed the cord through the slot located
in the equipment area and plug it in. Care should be taken not to overload the recep-
tacle with other appliances. To do so may cause overheating, or the inconvenience of
GFCI tripping.

3. The spa is equipped with a thermo-overload for the pump which shuts the pump off

if it becomes too hot.The spa is also equipped with a high limit switch that will trip and
shut off the pump if the temperature of the spa reaches 118 degrees.
