Electrical Connections
Separate circuits, each must be protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), are required for the pump/
motor and the RapidHeat
TM
Heater. Refer to the electrical specification for each model on pages 6-8. Install duplex
outlets to the studwall underneath the bathtub, at least 4 inches (10,2 cm) above the floor or in accordance with local
building or electrical codes. Duplex outlets are not provided. Because these units are manufactured with an elec-
tronic control panel no remote switch or timer is necessary.
Tubs with electronic control panels combine the electrical requirements of the pump/motor and electronic controls
into a control box. For these units the power supply cord from the pump/motor runs to the control box. The power
supply cord from the control box should be connected to the 20 AMP GFCI circuit.
Before installing electrical connections, inspect the pump/motor and heater nameplates and confirm you have 120
VAC, 20 AMP and 15 AMP service requirements. The GFCI circuits must match these requirements. Care must be
taken to connect the 20 AMP pump/motor or control box power cord ONLY to the 20 AMP GFCI circuit and to connect
the 15 AMP heater power cord ONLY to the 15 AMP GFCI circuit. Do NOT switch power cords and GFCI circuits.
With a #8 solid copper wire, bond the heater to the house electrical panel or approved local bond. A bonding lug is
provided on the heater. With another #8 solid copper wire, bond the pump/motor to the house electrical panel or
approved local bond. A bonding lug is provided on the pump/motor.
At initial start-up and before each use thereafter with power ON, push the GFCI test button on each circuit. The
reset button should pop out. Push this button in to reset. If the interrupter fails to operate in this manner, there is a
ground current flowing or a device malfunction, indicating the possibility of electrical shock.
Turn off power and do
not use the bath until the source of the problem has been identified and corrected
.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Connect only to a circuit protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Inter-
rupter (GFCI).
CAUTION: Operating the motor/pump without enough water in the bath can cause leaking and permanent
damage to the pump. Before power is applied to the installation, make sure the switch is in the OFF position
to avoid pump damage.
