NOTE: These instructions describe the only acceptable electrical wiring procedure. Spas wired in any other

way will void your warranty and may result in serious injury. The electrical circuit must be installed by an

electrical contractor and approved by a local building or electrical inspector. Failure to comply with state

and local codes may result in a fire or personal injury and will be the sole responsibility of the spa owner.

All 240V spas must be permanently connected (hard wired) to the power supply. When installed in the United

States, the electrical wiring of this spa must meet the requirements of the NEC 70 and any applicable local, state,

and federal codes. The power supplied to the spa must be on a dedicated GFCI protected circuit as required by

NEC 70 with no other appliances or lights sharing the power. Use copper wire with THHN insulation. DO not use

aluminum wire. Use the table below to determine your GFCI and wiring requirements. Wires that run over 100

feet must increase wire gauge to the next lower number. For example: A normal 50 amp GFCI with four #6 AWG

copper wires that run over 100 feet would require you to go to four #4 AWG copper wires.
