Electrical requirements & Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT:
Provide a copy of these instructions to your Electrician.
The installation of all spas must be in accordance with national and local wir-
ing rules. Always have a licensed Electrician perform the electrical installation.
Each Bullfrog Spa is manufactured and tested to a standard that provides
maximum protection against electrical shock. Improper wiring may prevent
the spa from operating safely which could result in electrical shock, injury or
death. Improper wiring could also lead to a malfunction of the spa’s equipment
and risk of fire.
Important Technical Information
Voltage Definitions:
When reading these instructions, the term 120V~ refers
to the 110-120V~ range of voltage, while the 240V~ term refers to the 220-
240 range of voltage.
Wiring Connection:
Appliance must be permanently connected to fixed wir-
ing (except for U.S./CAN 120V~/60Hz Cord-Connected units).
Wiring Diagrams:
In addition to the instructions that follow, please refer-
ence the appropriate Wiring Diagrams (120V~/60Hz Cord-Connected,
120V~/60Hz Permanently-Connected, 240V~/60Hz Permanently-Connect-
ed, or 240V~/50Hz Permanently-Connected).
Electrical Service Wire Size and Type:
The size of wire required to supply
the spa with power is dependent upon the length of the electrical run and
should only be determined by a licensed Electrician. Installation must be in
accordance with all national and local wiring rules. All wiring must be copper
to ensure adequate connections.
Never use aluminum wire.
Spa Location:
•
Overhead Power Lines:
Based upon the national and local wiring rules that
apply to your area, you will need to install your spa at the required minimum
horizontal and vertical distances from all power lines.
•
Service Disconnect:
Based upon your area, a disconnect device must be
incorporated into the fixed wiring in accordance with national and local wir-
ing rules. If the national and local wiring rules permit, a GFCI Sub-Panel
may be used to substitute the service disconnect, providing that it is located
within the same parameters.
•
Electrical Outlets, Switches and Devices:
Based upon the national and
local wiring rules that apply to your area, you must install your spa at or
beyond the required minimum distance from all electrical outlets, switches,
and devices.
•
Bonding:
Based upon the national and local wiring rules that apply to your
area, the Control System Box located inside the equipment compartment
of your spa must be bonded to all metal equipment, handrails, fixtures,
enclosures, pipe, or conduit that are located within the maximum specified
distances. The bonding is to be connected to the ground lug connector on
the exterior surface of the Control System Box and all metal items previ-
ously described.
•
Equipment Compartment Access:
Make sure the spa is positioned so that
access to the equipment compartment will not be blocked.
•
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI):
As per national and local wiring
rules, all spas, hot tubs, and associated electrical components must be protected
by a GFCI, either at the main breaker box or at the service disconnect.
