Tadpole Hot Tub Owner’s Manual — January 24, 2003
120 VOLT INSTALLATION
Use only a qualified Licensed Electrician to make 120
Volt electrical installations.
Your 120 Volt spa requires a dedicated GFCI 20 AMP
electrical circuit and a minimum supply wire size of 12
gauge. It is important that this circuit is dedicated (not
being used by any other electrical appliance) or your spa
may not function properly.
Position your Tadpole Portable Hot Tub at least 5 feet
(1.5m) from all electrical outlets or devices.
240 VOLT INSTALLATION
Use only a qualified Licensed Electrician to make 240
Volt electrical installations.
Your 240 Volt Tadpole Portable Hot Tub requires a
dedicated 50 AMP electrical circuit and a minimum
supply wire size of 6 gauge. It is important that this
circuit is dedicated (not being used by any other
electrical appliance) or your hot tub may not function
properly.
Position your Tadpole Portable Hot Tub at least 5 feet
(1.5m) from all electrical outlets or devices.
30 AMP Conversion Option:
If you do not have 50
AMPS of electrical service available, your authorized
Tadpole Hot Tub Dealer or electrician can easily convert
your hot tub to operate on 30 AMPS with a minimum
supply wire size of 10 gauge. Please be aware, that hot
tub’s converted to 30 AMPS are only capable of heating
the water when the circulation pump is in low-speed, not
high-speed. This heating limitation is acceptable in most
climates as well as in indoor installations.
