Converting to 240 VAC
Your spa, as it comes from the factory is designed for a 115VAC 15/20 Amp circuit. The spa is also
convertible to 240 VAC 30/50 Amp. The circuit must have a neutral wire and a ground wire. See example
below of a 120 VAC 15/20 amp plug.
Spa Designed for 240 VAC Conversion
When converting the spa wiring to a 240VAC 30/50 amp, use AWG 6-4-wire. The wiring must be con-
nected to a grounded type GFCI (Ground Faul Circuit Interupter) electrical service with copper conduc-
tors. This must be a separate circuit having no other appliances connected to that circuit. If you do not
have this kind of circuit, a qualified electrician should be called in to install the necessary wiring and
equipment. Run the proper size wire in conduit from the dedicated circuit breaker (see chart below) to the
equipment package. The circuit must have a neutral wire and a ground wire.
Electrical Precautions
1. Make sure the line cord does not lay across a walkway or in a heavily traveled area.
2. Do not use electrically connected devices, such as a TV, radio, telephones or cooking devices within 5
feet (1.524 meters) of the spa while the spa is being used. If electrical devices are used within 5-10 feet
of the spa, they must be on a GFCI protected breaker/outlet.
3. All fixed metal objects located within 5 feet (1.524 meters) of the spa, such as fence posts, railing, door
frames, gutters, etc., must be attached to the bonding bar on the outside of the electrical control pack
using #8 solid copper wire.
