CONNECTING HOT TUB TO GFCI AND MAIN PANEL:
• All hot tubs must be wired with the appropriate sized wiring.
Failure to do so will cause equipment damage and will not be
covered by your warranty
• All hot tubs must be protected with a appropriately sized GFCI
in the consumer panel. Have your electrician verify using
the diagram below
ITEMS NEEDED TO HELP COMPLETE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION:
GFCI Breaker, electrical cable (check length and width for amperage
and distance), cable gland, clips.
IMPORTANT: The electrical wiring of this spa must meet the
requirements of any applicable local codes. The electrical circuit
must be installed by a qualified electrician and approved by a local
building/electrical inspection authority.
1. This spa must be permanently connected (hard wired) to the
power supply. No plug-in connections or extension cords are to
be used in conjunction with the operation of the spa.
Supplying power to the spa which is not in accordance with
these instructions will void both the independent testing agency
listing and the manufacturer’s warranty.

not use aluminum wire. Using aluminum wire will void the
manufacturer’s warranty.
4. Although not required, a suitably rated isolator switch is
recommended for accessibility.
5. The electrical circuit supplied for the spa must include a suitable
Ground Fault (GFCI) having a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30 mA.
IMPORTANT: For supply connections, use conductors sized on the
basis of amperage but rated for 75°C (167°F).
6. An GFCI breaker must be used in order for the spa to function
properly.
7. To gain access to the spa’s power terminal block, remove the
screws to the access panel located under the Topside Console.
