Swim Spa Pre-Delivery Instructions

THE CANADIAN SPA COMPANY OWNERS MANUAL
Electrical requirements (Europe)
Your swim spa runs on 230-240vac 50 Hz single phase.
There are two configurations you can run your swim spa on.
The minimum supply current is 45 amps, in this configuration the heater will disengage if all three pumps are
turned on.
The second option is to have the heater on even when the entire spa is running on full speed; in very cold climates
this may be desirable especially if using the spa outdoors in winter for hours on end. In this configuration a 60 amp
supply is required.
The size of the wire required will be determined by the distance to the supply and the shielding method; your
electrician will be able to advise you of the required wiring for your specific situation. (10 mil minimum@45 amps)
Access
The Swim spa will arrive assembled as a single unit on a pallet. It will weigh approx one metric ton and cannot be
disassembled. For this reason you will need to have a crane or other mechanical method of unloading the spa and getting it
to your site.
We recommend you book a contract lift where the lifting company will assess the situation and method of lift and
carry insurance in case of accidental damage to the spa or the property. The spa warranty does not cover damage
from installation. It is the responsibility of the customer or his agents be it crane company or lift operator to assess
the lift and control all aspects of the moving of the spa, Canadian Spa Company will not take responsibility for any
part of the moving of the spa, and cannot advise on the methods used to move the spa.
Base
The base for your swim spa must be a flat level surface that contacts the entire base of the spa. We recommend 15
cm of re-enforced concrete but any flat level base that is stable and will not shift or settle will suffice. If sinking your spa into
the ground you need to provide adequate drainage for water so that the hole the spa sits in cannot flood as this will damage
the electronics and electrical components. Also at least a meter of access to the entire front of the spa by the filters is
required for component access. You are responsible for providing access and repair to access to the spa in case of fault.
