SElECTINg ThE vOlTAgE FOR YOUR SPA

The

TarINO

and

aVeNTINe

spas are designed to operate at either 115 volt 20 amp or 230 volt 50 amp while the

PalaTINO

MarINO

VaNTO

spa models require

a dedicated 230 volt 50 amp power supply. When the

TarINO

aVeNTINe

spa is connected to 115 volts 20 amp, the heater will provide approximately 1000 watts of

heat only when the pump is operating in LOW speed and the thermostat is calling for heat (NOTE: The heater does not operate when the pump is on high speed). When

the

PalaTINO

MarINO

VaNTO

TarINO

and

aVeNTINe

spas are connected to 230 volts, the heater will provide approximately 4000 watts of heat when the pump is

operating in LOW or HIGH speed and the thermostat is calling for heat.
All electrical connections must be made in accordance with the wiring information contained in the electrical control box or on the back of the field wiring access panel of

the equipment module.

115 vOlT INSTAllATION

Spas provided with a factory-installed power supply cord are to be plugged into a grounded, grounding type 20 ampere receptacle (

TarINO

aVeNTINe

) models. No

other electrical appliance or fixture can be used on this circuit.

IMPOrTaNT:

Under

circumstances should an extension cord be used. Use of an extension cord will seriously degrade the performance of the equipment module

and can create an electrical hazard.

230 vOlT INSTAllATION

When using 230 volt power supply, installation of a 50 amp dedicated circuit is required. Your spa must be hardwired direct to a GFCI-protected subpanel by a licensed

electrician. A wiring diagram is provided inside the equipment module showing where the connections are to be made.

ElECTRICAl REQUIREMENTS ANd PRECAUTIONS

Your

VaCaNza

series 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 spa completely!
