GFCI
It is required by code to install a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in the
supply power for a spa. This device will trip the breaker if there is an unsafe
electrical condition caused by a malfunctioning component or even the slightest
short to ground.
Note: Connect the control system only to a circuit protected by a Class A GFCI
mounted at least 5’ (1.52M) from the inside walls of the spa/hot tub and in line of
sight from the equipment compartment.
Refer to NEC (National Electrical Code), 2005 Edition, Article 680 for more
information
WARNING: FAILURE TO PROVIDE A DEDICATED CIRCUIT FOR YOUR SPA ELECTRICAL
INSALLATION CAN CAUSE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND INVALIDATE YOUR WARRANTY.
Your spa electrical installation must be accomplished by a qualified and licensed electrician in accordance with the
National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 680, Canadian Electric Code, and with any local codes effective at the time
of installation.
All connections must be made according to the electrical installation label inside the control box. Follow the
instructions from the label if they are different than instructions found in this manual. If your electrician is not
absolutely sure how to correctly connect your system, call your dealer. Do not guess. Any mistake may be costly
and invalidate your equipment warranty.
The GFCI is a mandatory electrical safety device required for all portable spas and hot tubs as specified in the
National Electrical Code Article 680-42. The GFCI in your particular installation may be installed at the electrical
service panel, a separate sub-panel or built into your Spa’s Equipment System. Equipment systems with a built in
GFCI meeting the code requirements will be marked on the top of the control panel with an identification label.
Your spa equipment requires a dedicated circuit. No other appliances or lights can be on this circuit. Refer to
equipment data label for power supply requirements of your spa equipment. Use copper conductors only.
The ground must be equal to or larger than the largest power conductor.
NOTE: Due to the spa electrical installation requirement of some models, it may be required to SPLIT the incoming
electrical service to accommodate the GFCI Circuit Breaker limitations. Contact your electrician if you need
additional information on this topic or others related to your spa electrical installation.
