IMPORTANT NOTICE:
The electrical wiring of this spa must meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC)
and any applicable state or local codes. The electrical circuit must be installed by a qualified electrician and approved by a local
building/electrical inspection authority.
1. This spa must be permanently connected (hard-wired) to the power supply. No plug-in connections or extension cords are to be used
in conjunction with the operation of this spa. Supplying power to the spa which is not in accordance with these instructions will
void both the independent testing agency listing and the manufacturer’s warranty.
2. The power supplied to this spa must be a dedicated circuit with no other appliances or lights sharing the power provided by the
circuit.
3. To determine the current and voltage and wire size required, refer to section “Power Requirements” (Pages 3,4).
Wire size must be appropriate per NEC and/or local codes.
We recommend type THHN wire
All wiring must be copper to ensure proper connections. Do not use aluminum wire.
When using wire larger than #6 (10mm
2 ), add a junction box near the spa and reduce to short lengths of #6 (10mm 2 ) wire to
connect to spa.
4. The electrical supply for this product must include a suitably rated circuit breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors to
comply with Section 422-20 of the National Electrical Code., ANSI/NFPA 70. The disconnecting means shall be accessible, located
within sight from spa equipment, and shall be located at least 5 ft (1.52m) horizontally from the inside walls of the spa.
5. The electrical circuit supplied for the spa must include a suitable ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) as required by NEC Article
680-42. (GFCI NOT INCLUDED)

IMPORTANT CANADA SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following.
1. Read and follow all instructions
2. A green colored terminal or terminal marked G,Gr, Ground, Grounding or the ground symbol is located inside the power
supply terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal must be connected to the grounding
means provided in the electric supply service panel with continuous copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit conductors
that supply this equipment.
3. At least two lugs marked “Bonding Lugs” are provided on the external surface or on the inside of the supply terminal
box/compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local common bonding grid in the area of the hot tub to
these terminals with an insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than No. 6 AWG.
4. All field-installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains or other similar hardware within 10 feet (3m) of the hot
