Make the Electrical Connections
IMPORTANT!
The Aquatica® Spa series hydromassage hot tubs come equipped with a wiring junction box and are designed to operate
between 208 VAC and 240 VAC at either 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
IMPORTANT!
While the Aquatica® Bath Controller is designed to operate between 208 VAC and 240 VAC at either 50 Hz or 60 Hz, the pumps
are market specific and require the correct frequency that is applicable for your specific market. Our US/Canadian Spa series
bathtubs ship with 60Hz pumps, while our International models ship with 50Hz pumps.
WARNING!
Risk of electrical shock. Make sure the power has been disconnected before performing the following procedures. Refer to the
“Important Information” section.
WARNING!
Risk of electrical shock. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect the system to properly grounded Ground-Fault Circuit-
Interrupter (GFCI) or Earth-Leakage Circuit-Breaker (ELCB) - Customer Supplied. This will provide additional protection against
line-to-ground shock hazard. One 30A 50/60Hz dedicated circuit is required.
IMPORTANT!
The load neutral is not used. There should be no connection to the load neutral terminal on the Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter
(GFCI) breaker. The green wire with the yellow stripes is the equipment ground and needs to be connected to the neutral bus in
the main circuit breaker box.
•
The Aquatica® Bath Controller, pumps, blower, lights and heater have been pre-wired at the factory. A licensed electrician
should make a routine service connection to the junction box.
•
Connect service to the junction box. The junction box contains blue, brown, and green with yellow stripe colored wires.
•
Follow local electrical codes. Bond in accordance with national and local codes.
