Electrical Specifications
240 V Electrical Installation
(North America 60hZ)
WARNING: The electrical circuit must be installed by a licensed
electrical contractor and approved by a local building or electrical
inspector. Failure to comply with state and local codes may result in
fire or personal injury and will be the sole responsibility of the spa
owner.
• All 240V spas must be permanently hardwired to
the power supply. See wiring diagram on page 20.
• Spas must be wired using this procedure. Any
variance from these instructions will void your
warranty and may result in serious injury.
• When installed in the United States, the electrical
wiring of this spa must meet the requirements of
National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-2008 and
any applicable local, state, and federal codes.
• The power supplied to the spa must be on a
dedicated GFCI protected circuit as required by
ANSI/NFPA 70 with no other appliances or lights
sharing the power.
GFCI and Wiring Requirements
• Use copper wire with THHN insulation. Do not
use aluminum wire.
• Use the table on this page to determine your
GFCI and wiring requirements.
• When NEC requires the use of wires larger than
# 6 AWG, install a junction box near the spa and
use # 6 AWG wire between the junction box and
the spa.
• Wire runs over 85 feet must increase wire gauge
to the next lower number.
Testing the GFCI Breaker
Test the GFCI breaker prior to first use and
periodically when the spa is powered. To test the
GFCI breaker follow these instructions:
1. With spa operating, press the TEST button on
the GFCI. The GFCI will trip and the spa will shut
off.
2. Reset the GFCI breaker by switching the
breaker to the full OFF position, wait a moment,
then turn the breaker back on. The spa should
have power.
Warning: Never set a spa to run on
high power without installing a
properly rated GFCI.
