ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS:
All Self Contained Volt Electric Spa Packs
• Extension cords are not to be used in conjunction with the operation of the spa. Low volt-
age damage could result, which is not covered by warranty.
• Your 240 volt spa will require a 50 amp dedicated circuit breaker, GFCI, with proper wire
size for length of run. The circuit must have 4 wires, 2 hots, a neutral and a ground.
• If you have any doubts, have your electrical system checked by a certified electrician.
Important Electrical Safety Instructions
SAFETY COMES FIRST. WHEN INSTALLING & USING THIS ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, BASIC
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED!
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
2. Electrical installation must be completed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all
National, Regional and Local Codes and Regulations in e!ect at the time of installation.
3. Connect only to a dedicated circuit protected by a class ‘A’ two-pole ground fault cir-
cuit interrupter (GFCI)
4. Use copper conductors only! 5 The hot tub equipment and all electrical plugs, outlets
5. and lights within 1.5m (5ft) of the unit must be G.F.C.I protected. Consult your electri-
cian or local electrical authority for further details.
6. A green colored terminal or a terminal marked “G”, “GR”, “Ground”, or “Grounding” is
located inside the supply terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this terminal must be connected to the grounding means provided in the electric
supply service panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit
conductors supplying the equipment.
7. At least two lugs marked “BONDING LUGS” are provided on the external surface or on
the inside of the supply terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, connect the local common bonding grid in the area of the hot tub to these ter-
minals with an insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than No.6 AWG (Canada/
Europe) / No.8 AWG (USA).
8. All field installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains or other similar hard-
ware within 3 m (10 ft) of the hot tub shall be bonded to the equipment grounding bus
with copper conductors not smaller than No.6 AWG.
Wire Size
• North America - The minimum wire size for systems that require a 50A or 60A GFCI is
#6/3 c/w ground (also referred to as #6 gauge / 4 conductor).
• Europe - The minimum wire size for European system is 2.5 mm2 copper wire.
• Important Note - This guide is for standard installations where the wire run is 15 m (50 ft.)
or less. For longer wire runs, consult a qualified electrician.
