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.
