installation.
Important:
All metal enclosures, pipe or conduit located

Control Center Box located inside the equipment
compartment of the spa. The wire used to complete this

WIRING DIAGRAMS
Please reference the wiring diagram that is specific to
your spa’s Control System:
•
Economy Control System/STD-05 (Fig. C)
120V/240V CONVERTIBLE EQUIPMENT
Unless you special ordered 120 Volt equipment, your
Tadpole Portable Hot Tub comes standard as a 240 Volt
hot tub.
If your hot tub is equipped with an Economy Control
System (STD-05), it can be wired as either a dedicated
120V or 240V system.
With the 120 Volt Economy Control System, you can take
advantage of the Tadpole upgrade feature by upgrading
your 120V system to a more powerful 240V system. The
240V system allows you to increase horsepower as well
as heating capacity.
For specific conversion instructions, please refer to the
system wiring diagram locating inside of the control
system box.
STD-SUV SYSTEM 240-120 VOLT CONVERSION
All hot tubs come standard from the factory pre set for
240 volt operation.
Steps for 120 conversion:
1.#12 gauge wire about 6” in length and two spade
crimp connectors to connect J-16 to J-35.
2. Move the white wire connected to J-33 to J-35.
3. Move the white wire connected to J-34 to J-11
4. Set dip switch #10 to the “on” position.
The power input lines to the terminal block will use the
WHT and BLK connections, the red terminal will not be
used with the 120 volt system.
120 volt or 240 volt systems must be protected by a
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) .
Extension cords
are not allowed to be used with 120 volt conversion.
All wiring must be hard wired and performed by qualified
electrician.
Note: The motors used in Tadpole Hot tubs are 240 volt or 120
volt only. They are not convertible. If a 120 volt conversion is made in the field
the motor must be changed to the proper voltage.
