The PALATINO , MARINO and VANTO models require a 230 volt power supply. The TARINO and AVENTINE may
be converted from 115 volts to 230 volts. When the spa is connected to 115 volts, 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 the
TARINO
or
AVENTINE
is connected to 230 volts, the heater will provide heat whether the pump is
operating in LOW or HIGH speed and the thermostat is calling for heat.
All electrical connections must be made in accordance with the wiring information contained in the electrical control
box or on the back of the field wiring access panel of the equipment module.

( TARINO & AVENTINE )
For your safety, if you are having an electrician install an electric outlet for the spa it should be no closer than 5 feet
(152.4cm) and no further than 10 feet (304.8cm) from the spa. [Reference National Electrical Code 680 - 6a(1) and
680 - 41a.]
One GFCI is used in the cord-connected 20 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
CALDERA
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
CALDERA
dealer.

The TARINO & AVENTINE spa must be connected to a 115 volt, 20 amp grounded circuit. The equipment pack
requires a MINIMUM of 112 volts under load. A dedicated circuit is required; the term “dedicated” means the
electrical circuit CANNOT be used for any other high-load electrical items (patio lights, appliances, garage circuits,
etc.). If the spa is connected to a non-dedicated circuit, overloading will result in “nuisance tripping” of the internal
fuses or of the breaker switch at the house electrical breaker panel.
The circuit must be properly wired; that is, it must have the following:
• Standard (cord-connected) 115 volt 20 amp – A minimum 20 amp GFCI circuit breaker in the house panel, #12
AWG or larger wire (including the ground wire) and the correct polarity throughout the circuit.
• In addition to the dedicated 20 amp, 115 volt GFCI protected circuit, your spa requires a 20 amp single
receptacle. This receptacle, which contains an outdoor-rated, weather-resistant receptacle cover plate, will be
provided to you. The single receptacle and cover plate should be installed by your electrician prior to the delivery
of your spa.
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 (5) feet of the spa (if needed to comply with local building code
requirements). The bonding wire must be at least a #10 AWG solid copper wire.
NEVER CONNECT THE SPA TO AN EXTENSION CORD!
