Getting ready for delivery and setup of your new TubLicious Hot Tub 
 
Before you begin to enjoy your TubLicious Hot Tub please read the following instructions 
thoroughly. Your TubLicious Hot Tub is light weight and portable making it easy to enjoy  
almost anywhere you want! Your deck, boat dock, beside your RV or even in your home. 
Just make sure that it is above ground on a level surface and that the equipment  
compartment is easily accessible.   
 
While most hot tubs require a level concrete pad to sit on your TubLicious Hot Tub does not. 
If you are considering placing your hot tub on a raised deck or indoors we recommend you 
consult with a licensed contractor to confirm the area will hold a TubLicious Hot Tub that is 
filled with water.  

LOCATION OF YOUR NEW HOT TUB: 

Some points to consider 

  How close is the hot tub from the exit or entrance to your house? (Consider the cold 

 

weather) 

  Is the path to the hot tub clean of debris, sand, grass and clippings? (So as not to track 

 

into hot tub) 

  Is there protection from wind, inclement weather? 
  Can neighbors or passersby see the hot tub? 
  If your hot tub is to be placed near where sprinklers may hit the skirt, shell or  

 

equipment, please adjust or cap them to prevent prolonged water exposure. 

 

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS: 

TUBLICIOUS USES A 120 VOLT ELECTRIC SPA PACK 

 

IMPORTANT: About the GFCI Circuit Interrupter

 - The GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) 

is an electrical safety switch that automatically shuts off power to the hot tub in case of an 
electrical malfunction. The GFCI should be OFF before TubLicious is filled. Manually turn off 
power to the hot tub any time by using the GFCI. Push the switch to the OFF position. After 
turning off the GFCI check to see that the topside control panel window is blank to confirm the 
power is off. When you want to turn the power back on reset the GFCI by returning the switch 
to the ON position. Do not use your TubLicious Hot Tub until you understand the operation of 
the GFCI.  
 
The GFCI is in the 120V cord. The cord comes out from the rear right side of the spa. The out-
let that you connect the TubLicious to must be rated at 120 volts and 15 amperes. (Refer to 
Page 23) 
 

NOTE: 

You may convert your TubLicious to 220V. If converted you must install a 40 amp GFCI 

breaker. This must be done by a 

Licensed Electrician. 

Minimum wire size is #8. All  

connections must conform to local electrical codes. Power connections, and control jumper  
settings are contained in the wiring diagram inside the control box cover.   

Set Up & Delivery Guidelines 

NOTE: If you install your TubLicious Hot Tub indoors make sure that the surrounding area is 
waterproof or water resistant. During normal usage water may be splashed out of the hot 
tub. CSMI is not responsible for any water or humidity damage to any indoor location for 
any reason.
