Electrical connections by licensed personnel
To ensure you will have an opportunity to use your hot tub soon after
delivery, it is very important that the required electrical service has
been installed.
IMPORTANT: Electrical connections must be made by qualified,
licensed personnel.
Please contact a licensed residential electri-
cian for these services.
All models require a 50 amp single phase, 240 volt circuit breaker in
the main electrical service panel.
NOTE: WE RECOMMEND THAT A
SUB PANEL BE USED TO SUPPLY POWER AND PROTECT THE HOT
TUB.
All 240 volt Divine Hot Tubs™
Deluxe
spas must be wired in
accordance with applicable local electrical codes, and all electrical
work must be done by a licensed electrician. A licensed electrician
should install a four-wire electrical service (two line voltages, one
neutral, one ground) from the main electrical service panel to the
sub-panel, and from the sub-panel to the spa per the appropriate
wiring diagram as illustrated below. The grounding conductor must
be at least #6 AWG. Your electrician should mount the sub-panel in
the vicinity of the hot tub but it should not be closer than five (5)
feet from the hot tub water edge (NEC 680-38 to 41-A-3).
WARNING: Removing or bypassing the GFCI breakers in the sub pan-
el at any time will result in an unsafe spa and will void the warranty.
WIRE SPECIFICATION NOTE: Long electrical runs may require a larg-
er gauge feed wire than stated. We recommend that a maximum
voltage drop of 3% be used when calculating the larger wire size.
Refer to the Wiring Diagrams (figure 1-1) for the electrical require-
ments of the 240 volt models.
Do not turn on power to the spa when the tub is not filled.
The closer you
locate the spa
to the main
service panel,
the less money
you will have to
spend on wire.
Wire can become
expensive if you
run long lengths.
Always shut off
power at the
source when
working with any
electrical power!!
Failure to do this
could result in
serious injury or
even death!
