breaker panel, #14 AWG or larger wire (including the ground wire) and the correct polarity throughout the circuit.
• Converted (hard-wired) 115 volt 30 amp – A minimum 30 amp circuit breaker in the house breaker panel, #10 AWG or larger
wire (including the ground wire), a sub-panel with an appropriate GFCI breaker, and the correct polarity throughout the circuit.
A pressure wire connector is provided on the exterior surface of the spa’s electrical control box, located inside the equipment
compartment. This is to permit the connection of a bonding ground wire between this point and any metal equipment, enclosures, pipe
or conduit within five feet of the spa (if needed to comply with local building code requirements). The bonding wire must be at least a
#8 AWG solid copper wire.
NEVER CONNECT THE SPA TO AN EXTENSION CORD!

If you choose to convert your spa to 115 volt 30 amp operation (contact an authorized Solana ™ Spa Service Technician to perform the
conversion), a licensed electrician must install the sub-panel (available from your Solana ™ Spa Dealer). Refer to the 30 amp wiring

For your safety, if you are having an electrician install an electric outlet for the spa, it should be no closer than five (5) feet and no
further than ten (10) feet from the spa. [Reference National Electrical Code 680 - 6a(1) and 680 - 41a.]
One GFCI is used in the cord-connected 15 amp configuration. The GFCI module is located at the end of the power cord. To test the
GFCI, simply press the TEST button. The GFCI should trip to the “off” position, disconnecting power to the spa. To reset the GFCI,
press the RESET button. The GFCI should reset, and power should be restored to the spa. If the GFCI does not function in this way,
unplug the cord and contact an authorized Solana ™ Spa Service Technician.
NOTE: Consult your local code authority to determine if an electrical outlet with a cover is required for your installation. If it is, a
suitable outlet cover may be purchased from your Authorized Solana ™ Dealer. Ask for Part #71591.
