codes if this unit is to be installed at any location other than a private residence.
The Safe Electrical Hook-up of Your Spa
•
The electrical installation of your spa must be done by a qualified electrician in accordance
with the National Electrical Code (NEC), and all local codes effective at the time of installation.
•
Your spa must be installed on a dedicated electrical circuit. No other appliances or electrical
equipment may be used on this circuit.
!
WARNING:
If your spa is not installed in accordance with the NEC, it may create a dan
-
gerous safety hazard. Improper electrical installation may also damage the inner workings of a
spa and void your warranty.
!
WARNING:
If your electrician is not absolutely sure how to correctly connect your system,
call the ThermoSpas Technical Service Department at 800.876.0158, option 2. Mistakes may
be costly and will void your equipment warranty.

Electrical Service Requirements
Before wiring for a spa, one of the first considerations is whether or not your main service or
sub-panel feeding your spa has the capacity to provide sufficient power to your spa. A licensed
electrician will be able to perform a load calculation to determine this.
Select the inlet you want to use, drill a hole large enough for the wires on the skirt panel and
then feed the power cable through to the control box. To allow access you will have to trim/cut
the ThermoFoil blanket under the skirt. For access from underneath the spa, please contact the
Service Department for help (800.876.0158).
Note:
You can use any of the four side of the spa to drill a hole for the power cable. The panels
are not predrilled.
The electrical requirements for your spa are found on the Electrical Guide Sheet contained in the
Welcome Kit for your specific model. It is very important to review your electrical requirements
before starting installation.

A. Standard Cabinet:
1. Remove screws from the trim pieces and front center panel. Place
the panels in a safe location to prevent from damaging it.
2. Carefully fold back the ThermoFoil and remove the foam insert to

4. To reinstall the panel just follow the steps above in reverse order.
