ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
HAVE YOUR ELECTRICIAN READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION
BEFORE INSTALLATION BEGINS
Electrical connections made improperly, or the use of wire gauge sizes for incurring
power which are too small, may continually blow fuses in the electrical equipment
box, may damage the internal electrical controls an components, may be unsafe
and in any case will void your warranty.
It is the responsibility of the spa owner to ensure that electrical connections are
made by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code and
any local and state electrical codes in force at the time of installation.
These connections must be made in accordance with the wiring diagrams found
inside the control box. This equipment has been designed to operate on 60Hz.
alternating current only, 120 volts are required. Make sure that power is not
applied while performing any electrical installation. A copper bonding lug has been
provided on the electrical equipment pack to allow connection to local ground
points. The ground wire must be at least 14 AWG copper wire (unless local or
state codes require a heavier gauge wire) and must be connected securely to a
grounded metal structure such as a cold water pipe. All equipment packs are wired
for 120 VAC only. The only electrical supply for your spa must include a 15 AMP
switch or circuit breaker to open all nongrounded supply conductors to comply
with section 422-20 of the National Electrical Code. The disconnect must be read-
ily accessible to the spa occupants, but installed at least five feet from the spa. A
Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), (provided with the spa), must be used
to comply with section 680-42 of the National Electrical Code. A ground fault is a
current leak from any one of the supply conductors to ground. A GFCI is designed
to automatically shut off power to a piece of equipment when a ground fault is
detected.
Service to the spa must be dedicated 120V, 15A 2 wire plus ground (14 AWG copper).
Route supplied cord or service into the equipment area for final hook-up to ter-
minals inside the spa control system. The spa must be hooked up to a “dedicated”
120 volt, 15 amp. The term “dedicated” means the electrical circuit for the spa is
not being used for any other electrical items (patio lights, appliances, garage cir-
cuits, etc.). If the spa is connected to a nondedicated circuit, overloading will result
in “nuisance tripping”which requires resetting of the breaker switch at the house
electrical panel.
