ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT
DO NOT POWER THE SPA WITHOUT FIRST FILLING WITH WATER!
DANGER – RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Installations that do not conform to the following procedures and requirements may expose
users to electric shock. Non-conforming installations will not be covered under warranty.
If installed in the United States, the electrical wiring of this spa must meet the requirements of the
National Electric Code (NEC) and any applicable state or local codes. The electrical circuit must be
installed by an electrical contractor and approved by a local building electrical inspection authority.
1. Installations within 5 feet of any metal surfaces must ground the metal surfaces to the hot tub.
Use an 8 AWG solid copper wire and attach it to the grounding lug on the control, located in
the equipment compartment.
2. Only a licensed electrician may install power to the spa.
3. Power supply installation must include a suitably rated ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
as required by NEC Article 680-42. The circuit breaker must be dedicated and should not be
shared with any other appliances. It must be labeled and easily accessible to users.
4. The electrical supply for the spa must include a suitable rated switch or circuit breaker to open
all ungrounded supply conductors to comply with Section 422-20 of the National Electric Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70. The disconnecting means must be readily accessible to the spa’s occupant but
installed at least 5 feet from the spa water.
5. 220V Power supply lines must be hard wired into the control box. DO NOT use extension or
plug-type cords of any kind. The use of a shut-off box near the hot tub is also recommended.
This box provides a quick and convenient method to shut off power to the hot tub for
emergencies and maintenance.
6. Supply lines must be properly sized as per the NEC. A ground line must be provided that is
as large as the largest current carrying conductor, but no less than 8 AWG. Use copper wiring
only.
7. Please open the front cover of the control box, and follow the instructions and wiring diagram
printed on the backside.
8. All 110 V powered models must use the provided 15
foot GFCI cord and be pluged directly into a dedicated
grounded wall outlet.
9. CAUTION, 220V POWERED SPAS – These spas
must be hard wired to your household electrical service
box only. Do not use an extension cord or any other
disconnect-able power cord. The use of an extension
cord or a disconnect-able power cord is highly
dangerous and will void all warranties!
• Wire size must be appropriate per NEC and/or local
codes.
• Wire size is determined by length of run from breaker
box to spa and maximum current draw.
• THHN copper core wire is recommended.
• All wiring must be copper to ensure adequate
connections. Do not use aluminum wire.
