SUCTION GUARDS
The suction guard(s) in the footwell of your spa is an
opening through which the jet pump(s) draws water.
Suction fittings are equipped with a safety guard.
Suction through the fittings can be strong. The safety
guard(s) must remain in place and undamaged. A
fitting with a damaged guard(s) can be dangerous,
especially to small children or people with long hair.
Should any part of the body become drawn to a
fitting, turn the jet pump(s) off immediately. Long hair
should be restrained in a bathing cap, never allow it to
float freely in the spa. Replace any missing or dam-
aged suction guard(s).
NOTE: It is normal for the flow rates of the suction
fittings to vary from strong to barely noticeable.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
It is the responsibility of the spa owner to ensure that
all electrical connections are made by a qualified
electrician in accordance with all national, state, and
local electrical codes in effect at the time of installation.
240 Volt
All connections must be made in accordance with
the wiring diagram found on the inside of the control
box cover. Connections must be made with copper
conductors only – do NOT use aluminum wire. All
conductors, circuit breakers, and fuses and the GFCI
must be sized in accordance to the total amperage
load as specified:
• Permanently connected (Hard wired).
• Rated 240V, 60Hz, 50A, three wires (#6 copper)
plus ground (#8 copper), [4 wires total].
• Circuit breaker or fuse size: 50A.
• A disconnecting means must be installed within
sight from the equipment and at least 5 feet (1.52m)
from the inside walls of the spa.
• Connect only to a circuit protected by a Class A
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
• For units used in other than single-family dwellings,
a clearly labeled emergency switch shall be
provided as part of the installation. The switch shall
be readily accessible to the occupants and shall be
installed at least five feet (1.52 m) away, adjacent to,
and within sight of the unit.
• A pressure wire connector is provided on the
exterior of the control box to allow connection of a
bonding wire to any metal ladder, metal water pipe,
common bonding grid (reinforced concrete slab,
