ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
Important Safety Instructions
All electrical connections to this spa package
MUST be done by qualied licensed electrician
in accordance with National Electrical Code
(NEC) and with state/local electrical codes in
eect 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
specied on the equipment label.
This equipment is designed to operate on
50Hz or 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 lling or relling 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 qualied 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.
Residual Current Device
The appliance should
be supplied through a
residual current device
(RCD) or Ground Fault
Interruper (GFCI) with a
rated tripping current
not exceeding 30mA.
Means for disconnection
must be incorporated in the xed wiring
in accordance with the wiring rules. Parts
containing live voltage, except parts supplied
with safety extra-low voltage not exceeding
12V, must be inaccessible to a person in
the bath. Earthed appliances must be
permanently connected to xed wiring.
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
Caution: Risk of electrical shock.
Read and follow all instructions.
