INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
Fill the spa with water before turning on the power.
Your
HOT SPRING
spa has been carefully designed to give you
maximum safety against electrical shock. Connecting the spa to an
improperly wired circuit will negate many of the spa’s safety features.
Improper wiring may also cause electrocution, risk of fire, and other
risks of injuries. Please read and follow the electrical installation
requirements and instructions for your specific spa model completely!
All
HOT SPRING
spa models, are equipped with a power indicator
(
HOT SPRING
Logo blue light) which, in addition to showing the spa
has power to it, has a diagnostic function as well. It will begin blinking
if the heater high-limit thermostat has tripped. If the power indicator
light is blinking, follow the instructions in the Troubleshooting section
to identify and correct the cause. The power indicator will stop blinking
once the problem has been corrected. The Power and Ready indicator
lights on the control panel also provide the same diagnostic function.
HOT SPRING
spas must be wired in accordance with all applicable
local electrical codes. All electrical work should be done by an
experienced, licensed electrician. We recommend the use of
appropriate electrical conduit, fittings, and wire for all circuits.
