INSTALLATION AND OPERATING CONSIDERATIONS
The equipment control system must be protected from the elements by installing it in a
weather-tight enclosure.
The equipment should be installed so that there is safe access for servicing and routine
maintenance procedures.
The single-speed circulation pump must be installed below the water level unless it is a
self-priming pump.
Connections between the tub and equipment control system should include shut off
valves for servicing and only non-metallic pipe should be used.
Connections between the tub and equipment should be done with flex PVC
Operation of your tub during the warm months of the year may cause the temperatures to
rise inside the equipment compartment. Due to the extensive insulation of some models
it may cause the pumps thermal protection device to automatically turn the pump off for a
short period of time (15-30 minutes) to allow the pump to cool down before automatically
restarting. This cool down feature will not harm your system but serves to protect the
pump from damage. This condition can also be caused by low voltage or by high
altitudes where the air necessary for cooling is much thinner.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
A qualified electrician must make all electrical connections to the equipment control box
in accordance with the National Electrical Code and in accordance with any local
electrical codes in effect at the time of installation. All electrical connections must be
made in accordance with the wiring information contained in this manual, or on the back
of the field wiring access panel of the equipment control box.
The equipment may be designed to operate at 208-240 volts, 60hz. Connections must be
made using copper conductors only. Field provided conductors and circuit breakers or
fuses must be sized to accommodate the total amperage load of the equipment.
WARNING -
Improper electrical connections or conductor sizing will create the potential
for an electrical hazard, and may void the warranty.
CAUTION
: Use only approved pressure-type wire splicing or connectors suitable for the
size and type of wiring used.
The electrical supply for this product must include a suitably rated switch or circuit
breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply with section 422-20 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. The disconnecting device must be within sight,
and readily accessible to the user of the tub, but installed at least 5 feet (1.5m) from the
tub. The electrical supply for permanently connected equipment controls must also
include a suitably rated ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) to comply with article 680-
42 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Connect a # 8 AWG (8.4mm) solid
copper bonding conductor between the equipment control box bonding lug and all other
electrical equipment and exposed metal in the vicinity, as may be needed to comply with
local regulation.
