1.  Circuit breaker amperages may vary according to the area of installation.  Please check local electrical codes to verify 
requirements and assure compliance.  Spas purchased not fully equipped may operate at a reduced total amp rating thus 
allowing installation of a lower rate GFCI circuit breaker and service installation.
