ELECTRICAL WIRING
WARNING: Your spa must be wired by a certified electrician and
according to these instructions. Failure to do so will terminate all
warranties and all listings from the independent listing facility.
1) The Platinum Elite Class Spa requires a 240 VAC dedicated system.
The spa must be hard wired to the power supply, with no plug-in connec-
tions, extension cords, or sharing of service.
2) The spa requires that you run 6 (10 mm²) or 8 (8.4 mm²) AWG copper
wire, depending on the GFCI size. Do Not Use Aluminum Wire.
3) The power supply must have a suitable Ground Fault Circuit Inter-
rupter (GFCI), according to Section 422-20 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-7987 or other national installation requirement
with a residual current device (RCD) having a trip current of not more
than 30 mA. This could be used as the shut-off switch, which must be
installed in plain view of the spa. This electrical service must be readily
accessible to the spa occupants, but must not be within 5 feet of the
spa.
4) Use only non-metallic conduit and fittings when installing power to
the spa.
