Use and Care Guide

Do I need a building permit?

Most cities and counties require permits for exterior

construction and electrical circuits. Check with your

county or city to see if a building permit is required for

spa installation.

Do I need a fence or a gate around my spa?

Some communities have codes requiring residential

barriers such as fencing and/or self closing gates on the

property to prevent unsupervised access to a spa by

children under five years of age. Consult your local or

county building codes to determine the need for a fence

or gate.

Do I need a Plumber?

No plumbing is required; your QCA Spa is entirely self-

contained. Fill the spa using a garden hose; to empty,

siphon with garden hose or submersible pump.

Do I need an Electrician?

Yes, you will need to hire an electrician to install the 240-

volt 50 AMP neutrally protected GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit

Interrupter) which are sold separately. Your main breaker box

will also need to have a 50 AMP breaker. Your spa is hard

wired through the floor or side wall of the spa cabinet, directly

into the spa’s control pack. The GFCI is installed next to the

spa on an exterior wall at least 10 feet from the spa water.

(Exception: The Model 0, Model 1, Model 10, Model 14, Model

25, and Model 26L come with a 15’ GFCI protected cord and

plug into any 120 V / 15 AMP wall outlet.)
