IMPORTANT: 

Fill the spa with water before turning on the power.

Your 

CALDERA

 spa has been carefully designed to give you 

maximum safety against electrical shock. Connecting the spa to an 

improperly wired circuit will negate many of the spa’s safety features. 

Improper wiring may also cause electrocution, risk of fire, and other 

risks of injuries. Please read and follow the electrical installation 

requirements and instructions for your specific spa model completely!
All 

CALDERA

 spa models, are equipped with a power indicator 

(

CALDERA 

Logo orange light) which, in addition to showing the spa 

has power to it, has a diagnostic function as well. It will begin blinking 

if the heater high-limit thermostat has tripped. If the power indicator 

light is blinking, follow the instructions in the Troubleshooting section 

to identify and correct the cause. The power indicator will stop blinking 

once the problem has been corrected. The Power and Ready indicator 

lights on the control panel also provide the same diagnostic function.

230 VOLT PERMANENTLY 

CONNECTED

CALDERA

 spas must be wired in accordance with all applicable local 

electrical codes. All electrical work should be done by an experienced, 

licensed electrician. We recommend the use of appropriate electrical 

conduit, fittings, and wire for all circuits. 

The diagram on the following pages illustrates how to wire the 

spa models:

•  An electrical subpanel containing two GFCI breakers is included with 

each 230 volt spa. We recommend that this subpanel be used to 

supply power to the spa.

•  The subpanel requires a 50 amp, single phase, 230 volt, four wire 

service (two line, one neutral, one ground).  

The grounding conductor must not be less than #10 AWG. Refer to 

local codes and to NEC 250-122 (table). 

NOTE

: The 

CANTABRIA

 will require an additional 20 amp breaker 

in order to operate the heater and the Lounge seat (jet pump 3) at 

the same time. Without the additional 20 amp breaker, the heater will 

NOT operate while the jets in the lounge (jet pump 3) are on. 

•  Mount the subpanel in the vicinity of the spa, but not closer than 5 

feet (1.5 m) away, in accordance with all local codes. (N.E.C. 680-38 

to 41-A-3)

•  Open spa using Door Panel Removal instructions (page 35).
•  Insert power wires into spa from either side towards the bottom front, 

you will find a plastic cap attached to spa. 

•  Once your spa has been filled with water, turn it on and test all of 

the circuit breakers. 

IMPORTANT:

 If both breakers immediately trip, verify that the wires are 

correctly connected. Each breaker should be tested prior to each use. 

Here’s how:
1.  Push the “TEST” button on each GFCI breaker, and observe it 

click OFF.

2.  Wait 30 seconds, then push the breaker switch to the OFF (down) 

position (to ensure that it has completely disengaged), then push 

the breaker switch to the ON (up) position. If you don't wait 30 

seconds, the spa’s power indicator may continue to blink – try 

again.

If any of the GFCI breakers fails to operate in this manner, your spa 

may have an electrical malfunction, and you may be at risk of electrical 

shock. Turn off all circuits and do not use the spa until the problem has 

been corrected by an authorized service agent.

WARNING:

 Removing, or bypassing any GFCI breaker will result 

in an unsafe spa and will void the spa’s warranty.
