Operating Instructions
NOTE: If both breakers immediately trip, verify that the #12 AWG WHITE neutral wire is connected from TB-1 terminal 7 to the L1 (load
neutral) terminal of the 20 amp subpanel breaker. Each breaker should be tested prior to each use. Here’s how:
1. Push the “TEST” button on each GFCI breaker, and observe it click off.
2. Wait 30 seconds, then push the breaker switch to the OFF (down) position (to ensure that it has completely disengaged), then push the breaker
switch to the ON (up) position. If you don’t wait 30 seconds, the spa’s power indicator may continue to blink – try again.
If any of the GFCI breakers fails to operate in this manner, your spa may have an electrical malfunction, and you may be risking electrical
shock. Turn off all circuits and do not use the spa until the problem has been corrected by an authorized service agent.
IMPORTANT: Service Technician must reconfigure spa using the soft jumpers to allow spa heater to run concurrent with jet pump.

230 VOLT PERMANENTLY CONNECTED MODELS

(AR)

(II)
Your 230 volt permanently connected model comes with a subpanel which contains two GFCI circuit breakers - a 20 amp / 230 volt GFCI
circuit breaker and a 30 amp / 230 volt GFCI circuit breaker. The Vanguard and Sovereign models use the 20 amp breaker for the jet
pump and control circuit while the 30 amp breaker is used for the heating system. The Vista, Grandee, Envoy and Aria models use the
20 amp breaker for the heating system while using the 30 amp breaker for the jet pumps and control circuit. The subpanel and spa must
be “hardwired” by a licensed electrician using appropriate wire, conduit, and fittings.
The Vista, Grandee, Envoy, Vanguard and Aria spas are equipped with two jet pumps that allow you to operate each half of the jet
system separately, or both halves simultaneously. The Vista, Grandee and Envoy have two different jet menus per half which are
selected with the individual SmartJet
®
levers. This feature allows you to select any one of a combination of 4 menus when using the spa.
The Vista uses one 2.5HP (Wavemaster
®
9000) single speed jet pump and one 2.5HP (Wavemaster 9200) two speed jet pump. The
Grandee uses one 2.0 HP (Wavemaster 8200) two speed jet pump and one 2.5HP (Wavemaster 9000) single speed jet pump, the
Envoy uses one 2.0 HP (Wavemaster 8000) single speed and one 2.0 HP (Wavemaster 8200) two speed jet pump. The Vanguard uses
two 1.65 HP (Wavemaster 7000) single speed jet pumps. The Aria uses one 2.5 HP (Wavemaster 9000) single speed jet pump and one
2.0 HP (Wavemaster 8200) two speed jet pump. The Sovereign uses a 2.5 HP (Wavemaster 9000) single speed jet pump.
Each spa model is equipped with a No-Fault
®
titanium, high watt density heater. The heating system consists of a 6,000 watt (6 kW)
heater on the Vanguard and Sovereign models while a 4,000 watt (4 kW) heater is used on the Grandee, Envoy and Aria models.
The spas are also equipped with an energy efficient low-flow circulation pump, and a high-limit thermostat for protection of user and
equipment.
In each of these spa models, the heater will turn on while the jet pump is operating (after a 2 degree temperature drop) to help maintain
the water temperature during spa use. Factors such as the number of people using the spa, the air temperature, and the length of time
the pump is operated will affect the heating system’s ability to maintain the water temperature.
115/230 VOLT CONVERTIBLE MODELS
®
®
(MODEL JJ)
The 115 / 230 volt convertible Hot Spring spa models come configured with a familiar 115 volt electrical system, with a GFCI plug at
the end of a cord. The GFCI plug contains a GFCI breaker for user and equipment protection. The 115 volt configuration requires a
dedicated outlet to supply power to the spa.
These models can be converted to 230 volt operation with the addition of a subpanel and a control box wiring change. Consult your
dealer before attempting to convert from 115 volt operation to 230 volt operation. Any damage to the spa from improper conversion is not
covered under the warranty.
In the 115 volt configuration, either the heater, or the jet pump can operate, but they can’t work at the same time. In a 115 volt system,
as long as the jet pump is activated, the heater will not turn on. On the other hand, when the spa is converted to operate in the 230 volt
configuration, the heater and jet pump can operate simultaneously.
Each convertible spa model is equipped with a No-Fault titanium, high watt density heater. The heater will operate at 1500 watts
when the spa is configured as a 115 volt cord-and-plug connected model, and at 6000 watts when the spa is configured as a 230 volt
converted model. The heating system consists of the No-Fault
®
heater, an energy efficient low-flow circulation pump, and a high-limit
thermostat and integrated pressure switch for user and equipment protection.
Both of the se models feature a Wavemaster
®
7000 jet pump to operate their jet systems. The Prodigy, and Jetsetter
models use a 1.65
HP jet pump. The SmartJet lever is used to operate the jet menus available in these models.
