It is important that the GFCI circuit breaker is installed correctly. Often this component has
been improperly installed causing the breaker to instantly trip when the system is turned on.
Below is an illustration of a typical GFCI breaker installation.
WARNING: Refer to the circuit breaker manufacturers installation instructions. This

GFCI Wiring Detail
(The spa must be installed on a dedicated circuit.)
This illustration depicts a typical 15 AMP, cord-end GFCI installation.
If your system was configured to include a 120VAC power cord, ensure that the proper
receptacle has been installed (a dedicated circuit is required). DO NOT under any
circumstances modify a 20 Amp plug to fit into a 15 Amp receptacle
or use an extension
cord. Doing so will create hazardous conditions and/or invalidate the warranty.
