1 . The spa must be permanently connected
(hard wired) to the power supply. No
extension cords or plug-type connections are
to be used in conjunction with the operation
of the spa. Failure to supply power to the spa
that is not in accordance with these
instructions could create a potential health
hazard and will void both the manufacturer’s
warranty and the independent testing agency
listing.
2 . The National Electrical Code (NEC )
requires that the power supply to this
spa must be a dedicated, ground fault
circuit (GFCI) prote c t ed circuit with no
other appliances or lights sharing power
on this circuit.
3 . Refer to the wiring diagram posted inside the
electrical equipment door to determine the
current, voltage, and wire size requirements
for your spa.
4 . THHN type wire is recommended. The wire
size for the distance of the wire run must
conform to NEC and local electrical codes.
5 . To ensure proper connections use copper
conductors only.
DO NOT USE ALUMINUM WIRE .
6 . The spas’ power terminal strip is located
within the electrical control box.
7. Feed supply conductors through power
supply inlets provided on the spa and
install into the control box. Modifications
to the electrical equipment box are not
p e r m i t ted. Drilling holes in the electrical
control box to provide access for wires in
areas other than those provided for will
void the manufacturer’s warranty and the
independent testing agency listing.
8. Connect wires to terminal block (TBI) color for color.
All wires must be connected or damage may result.
TIGHTEN SECURELY!
9 . A ground terminal (pressure wire connector)
is provided on the control box inside the spa
to permit connection of a minimum No. 8
AWG (8.4mm) solid copper bonding
conductor between this point and any metal
equipment, metal enclosures or electrical
equipment, metal water pipe or conduit,
within 5 feet (1.5m) of the unit as needed to
comply with local requirements.

IN S TA L LATION DIAG R A M S
All wires feeding the spa are to be the same
gauge. Ground wires are to be insulated. When
using a ground rod, the ground wire to the rod
should be #6 bare copper wire.
All 220 Volt spas require the use of an isolated
GFCI protected circuit. The installation of a
disconnect is required no more than ten (10)
visual feet from the spa and not less than five
(5) feet from the spa. This requirement is to
assure that the power cannot be inadvertently
turned back on when the power is disconnected
from the spa for any reason.
Wire your spa per the diagram most similar to
your house panel.
220 Volts 3-wire systems:
Note: 220 volt spas use 3 wires: Ground, L1
and L2
110 - 220 Volt 4-wire convertible systems:
Note: 110/220 volt spas use 4 wires: Ground,
L1, L2 and neutral when wired 220v. Only the
heater operates.
