PROPER PLACEMENT OF YOUR HOT TUB
POWER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
• A green colored terminal or a terminal marked G, GR, Ground,
Grounding, or with the symbol is located inside the supply terminal
box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal
must be connected to the grounding means provided in the electric
supply service panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent in size to
the circuit conductors supplying this equipment.
• At least two lugs marked “BONDING LUGS” are provided on the external
surface or on the inside of the supply terminal box or compartment. To
reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local common bonding grid
in the area of the hot tub or spa to these terminals with an insulated or
bare copper conductor not smaller than No. 6 AWG (13 mm2).
• All field-installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains or other
similar hardware within 1.5 m(5 ft) of the spa or hot tub shall be bonded
to the equipment grounding bus with copper conductors not smaller than
No. 6 AWG (13 mm2).
It is extremely important that the base on which the hot tub is placed is
smooth, level, and can uniformly support the complete weight without settling
or shifting. If these requirements are not met, possible damage to your cabinet
or tub shell may result. Damage caused by improper support is not covered
under warranty. It is the responsibility of the hot tub owner to meet these
requirements and to assure the integrity of the hot tub support at all times.
230V/240V Service
NO PLUG-IN CONNECTIONS OR EXTENSION CORDS ARE TO BE
USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE OPERATION OF THIS TUB. All
wiring must be permanently connected (hard wired) to the equipment
pack. Power supply that is not in accordance with these instructions will
void warranty.
This tub requires that the power supply be on a dedicated circuit with no
other electrical appliances or lights sharing the circuit that is providing
power to the hot tub.
Do not use aluminum wiring. ALL WIRING MUST BE COPPER.
A suitable ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) as required by the local
building/electrical inspection authority, must be included in the electrical
circuit supplied to the hot tub.
Proper wire size must be used in accordance to the local building/
electrical inspection authority.
All wires must be securely hooked up or damage could result.
TIGHTEN SECURELY!
120V Service
This tub requires that the power supply be on a dedicated
circuit with no other electrical appliances or lights sharing the
circuit that is providing power to the hot tub.
Do not use aluminum wiring. ALL WIRING MUST BE COPPER.
A suitable ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) as required by
the local building/electrical inspection authority, must be
included in the electrical circuit supplied to the hot tub.
Proper wire size must be used in accordance by the local
building/electrical inspection authority.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia.
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a
level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F (37°C).
The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase
in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia are:
1. Unawareness of impending hazard;
2. Failure to perceive heat;
3. Failure to recognize the need to exit the hot tub;
4. Physical inability to exit the hot tub;
5. Fetal damage in pregnant women;
6. Unconsciousness and danger of drowning.
WARNING: THE USE OF ALCOHOL OR DRUGS CAN GREATLY
INCREASE THE RISK OF FATAL HYPERTHERMIA IN HOT TUBS OR SPAS.
CAUTION: MAINTAIN WATER CHEMISTRY IN ACCORDANCE WITH
MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTION.
CAUTION: TEST THE GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
BEFORE EACH USE OF THE SPA.
We recommend a reinforced poured concrete slab that has a minimum
thickness of 4 inches (10cm). If a wood deck is used, construction must
comply with all local building codes.
Proper drainage around the hot tub is necessary to allow overflow, rain and
other casual water to drain away from the hot tub so the equipment area does
not get flooded and cause problems. Failure to do so will void warranty.
Important Notice:
The electrical installation of this tub must meet the requirements of all applicable country, state and local
codes. The electrical installation must be performed by a qualified electrician and be approved by the local building/electrical
inspection authority.
WARNING: DO NOT TURN ON POWER UNTIL TUB IS FILLED COMPLETELY WITH WATER!

Cord Connection Option
The cord connection option is only available for 120V operation on the models
rated 12/32 A. Only the manufacturer recommended power cord and GFCI
should be used for cord connected installations. Plug the cord into a 120V
receptacle.
