ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
Important Safety Instructions
All electrical connections to this spa package
MUST be done by qualified licensed electrician
in accordance with National Electrical Code
(NEC) and with state/local electrical codes in
effect at the time of installation.
NOTE: Prior to performing any service to
the spa equipment, turn OFF all primary
electrical power at the main circuit breaker
or disconnect panel.
To make spa electrical connections, remove
the exterior equipment access panel,
locate the electrical control box, remove
the control box cover and follow the wiring
diagram on the inside of the control box
cover.
Connections should be made using
copper conductors only
. Connecting wires,
circuit breakers or fuses must all be sized
to accommodate the Total Ampere load as
specified on the equipment label.
This equipment is designed to operate on
60Hz alternating current only, at 240 volts or
120 volts, as required.
NOTE: All unions must be hand-tight and
all slice valves must be locked in the OPEN
position before filling or refilling spa!
A clip is provided to help keep the slice
valve open. Run spa and check for union
water leaks before reinstalling front panel.
Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter
A qualified licensed electrician must con-
nect the spa to a circuit protected by a GFCI.
This is a requirement by the National Electric
Code, article 680-42, and is also in compli-
ance with Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc.
Installation Options
On some models, knockouts are provided in
the cabinet base to bring the conduit to the
equipment compartment. A hole may need
to be drilled in the pedestal or base if an al-
ternate electrical service entrance is desired.
Refer to the manufacturer’s nameplate
located on the kick plate to determine your
spa’s ampere requirements.
Note: Copper wire is strongly recommended
for all electrical connections.
Spas installed for 120 volt operation require
a 3-wire, 40, 30, 20 or 15 amp., 120 volt
sub-feed in non-metallic pipe to the spa
equipment compartment (line 1, neutral and
ground). A green colored terminal (or wire
connector marked “G”, or “GR”, or “Ground-
ing”) is provided in the control box. To
reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect
this terminal or connector to the grounding
terminal of your electrical service or supply
panel with a continuous green insulated cop-
per wire equivalent to the circuit conductor
supplying this equipment, but no smaller
than No. 12 AWG. A second pressure wire
connector is provided on the surface of the
control box for bonding to local ground
points. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
this connector should be bonded with a No. 6
AWG copper wire to any metal ladders, water
pipes, or any metal within 5 ft. of the spa.
Caution: Risk of electrical shock.
Read and follow all instructions.
