ELECTRICAL CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS.
NOTICE:
All spa electrical wiring must be performed by a qual-
ified licensed electrician and must meet all NEC (National Elec-
trical Code) and state and local codes and requirements.
DANGER – RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
1. The lines carrying power to the spa must be dedicated to the
spa and should not be shared with any other appliance(s).
2. All electrical wiring lines must originate from the electrical
panel and terminate, hard wired, into the electrical wiring
compartment. The use of extension cords or plug type termi-
nation is expressly prohibited and voids the warranty.
3. Do not use aluminum wiring. Use only copper wiring.
4. Wire gauge must be in accordance with NEC requirements for
the distance from current source to spa and the current rating
as stated on the ID label that is attached to the control enclo-
sure.
5. All wiring must be shielded by a grounded metal conduit. The
conduit must terminate at the electrical access compartment
either from the bottom of the spa or through a hole in the side
paneling of the spa.
6. For a 120 volt system the line wire (black) is connected to the
terminal block lug labeled LINE1. The neutral wire (white) is
connected to the center lug labeled NEUT, and the ground wire
(green) is connected to the ground lug labeled G or GROUND.
7. For a 240 volt 4 wire system, connect Line1, Neutral and
Ground wires as in #6 above. The fourth wire is the Line2 wire
(red) and it is connected to the lug labeled LINE2.
8. For a 240 volt 3 wire system, if applicable, connect black line
wire to LINE1 terminal, connect red line wire to LINE2 terminal
and the green wire to the ground lug. There is no neutral.

Once the spa is delivered and the electrical installation accomplished, the next
step is to fill it and heat the water.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended to perform the following procedure when you
drain and refill the spa, to protect the heater element.
• Power must be turned OFF at the circuit breaker and at the G.F.C.I before you start.
• Open the access door and inspect all fittings to be tight and slide-valves fully extended.
• Fill the spa, using your garden-hose, to the proper water level (half way mark on
the skimmer door).
• To apply power, push the RESET (ON) button at the G.F.C.I. & reset Circuit Breaker
to the ON position.
• Push the Jets button at the Spa Side Control Panel activating the high speed
pump. Keep pump running for at least three minutes to
purge the air out of the
plumbing.
• Once air bubbles stop coming out of the jets and the pump is primed select the
desired temperature.
IMPORTANT:
TURN DOWN THE HEAT BEFORE YOU DRAIN AND REFILL
YOUR SPA TO PROTECT THE HEATER.
FOR YOU TO KNOW…….!
PSOL or PSOH error codes = NO WATER PRESSURE
A pressure-switch protects the heater element when the water level drops below
the recommended level. The switch is activated by water pressure in the heater
housing, meaning the pump is running and there is water in the spa.
In a new installation, or when the spa is drained then refilled, a small volume of
air is trapped in the plumbing and in the heater-housing, lowering the pressure,
disabling the pressure-switch, consequently shutting down the heater.
Or, the opposite is also possible, where the trapped air exposes part of the
heater element but not enough to disable the pressure-switch resulting in a
burnt element. To avoid damage to the heater, refer to the start-up procedure.
The filter cartridge(s) must be cleaned periodically. It should be totally sub-
merged. If the top of the cartridge is above water level, air is sucked into the
pump's intake causing pump surges, lower pressure and damage to the heater.
