IMPORTANT:
Fill the spa with water before turning on the power.
Your
HOT SPRING
spa has been carefully designed to give you
maximum safety against electrical shock. Connecting the spa to an
improperly wired circuit will negate many of the spa’s safety features.
Improper wiring may also cause electrocution, risk of fire, and other
risks of injuries. Please read and follow the electrical installation
requirements and instructions for your specific spa model completely!
• The TX operates on 115 volts 15 amp 60Hz. This model can also be
converted to either 115 volt 30 amp or 230 volt 50 amp.
• The SX operate on 115 volts 20 amp 60 Hz. This models can also be
converted to either 115 volt 30 amp or 230 volt 50 amp.
When the TX
& SX are connected to 115 volts 15 amp or 20 amp, the
heater will provide approximately 1000 watts of heat, only when the
pump is operating in LOW speed and the thermostat is calling for heat.
When these spas are connected to 115 volts 30 amp, the heater will
provide approximately 1000 watts of heat when the pump is operating
in LOW or HIGH speed and the thermostat is calling for heat. When
these spars are connected to 230 volts 50 amps, the heater will provide
approximately 4000 watts of heat when the pump is operating in LOW
or HIGH speed and the thermostat is calling for heat.
