REFER TO THIS SECTION OF THE MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING
THE ELECTRICAL SERVICE. THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES ARE
NECESSARY FOR PROPER FUNCTIONALITY OF THE SPA.
The spa must be set up with a dedicated service. Use of extension cords is a safety hazard
and can result in electrical damage that is not covered under the warranty.
All 120V spas require a 20 AMP grounded (GFCI) outlet. All 240V spas require a 50 AMP
grounded (GFCI) breaker unit and four wire conductors.
The circuit breaker panel should be a minimum of five feet away from where the spa is to be
located. Check with the local building official for additional code requirements.
Only copper wire may be used. Use of aluminum or other wire will void the warranty and
may cause extensive damage to the equipment.
Please see the following two pages for common GFCI configurations. Please read all
instructions enclosed in the GFCI package.
