IV. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
H
ot Spring
®
Spas are manufactured in two different electrical versions, 230 volt permanently connected, and 115 / 230 volt
convertible models. The largest spa models, the Landmark
®
, Grandee
®
and Vanguard
™
, are available only as 230 volt
permanently connected models (these spas can not be converted to 115 volt systems), and utilize a continuous heating
system. This means that the heater may turn on while the jet pump is operating, unlike 115 volt models where the heater will
automatically be turned off when the the jet pump is turned on.
The remaining spa models, the Sovereign
®
, Prodigy
®
and Jetsetter
®
, are available as 115v / 230v convertible systems,
meaning that a 115 volt model can be converted to a 230 volt model. The benefit of operating in 230 volt mode is an increase
in the wattage (heater capacity) of the heater, allowing the heater to run when the jet pump is operating, which keeps your
water hotter longer when the jets are in use.
Contact your authorized Hot Spring
®
Spa Dealer for the requirements to
convert between electrical systems at your home.
IMPORTANT:
Improper conversion from one system to another may damage the spa’s electrical components. Always consult
your authorized Hot Spring
®
Spa Dealer prior to converting from one electrical system to another.
230 VOLT PERMANENTLY CONNECTED MODELS
• Landmark
®
(Model S)
• Grandee
®
(Model G)
• Vanguard
™
(Model V)
The 230 volt permanently connected models come with a subpanel which contains two GFCI circuit breakers - a 20 amp / 230
volt GFCI circuit breaker for the jet pump and control circuit and a 30 amp / 230 volt GFCI circuit breaker for the heating
system. The subpanel and spa must be “hardwired” by a licensed electrician using appropriate wire, conduit and fittings.
The Landmark
®
’s and Grandee
®
’s dual 1.65 HP Wavemaster
™
7000 jet pumps allow you to operate each half of the jet system
separately, or both halves simultaneously. Each half of the jet system has two different jet menus which are selected with the
individual SmartJet
®
levers. This feature allows you to select any one of four menus or a combination of menus when using the
spa. The Vanguard
™
uses a single 2.5 HP Wavemaster
™
9000 jet pump, and offers two jet menus.
The Landmark
®
, Grandee
®
and Vanguard
™
are equipped with a No-Fault
®
6000 stainless steel, high watt density heater. The
heating system consists of a 6,000 watt (6 kW) heater, an energy efficient low-flow circulation pump, and a high limit
thermostat and heater thermal cut-off for protection of user and equipment.
In each of these spas, the heater will turn on while the jet pump is operating (after a 1-1/2 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
• Sovereign
®
(Model I)
• Prodigy
®
(Model H)
• Jetsetter
®
(Model J)
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
®
6000 stainless steel, 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
®
6000 heater, an energy-efficient low-
flow circulation pump, and a high limit thermostat and heater thermal cut-off for user and equipment protection.
All three of these models feature a Wavemaster
™
jet pump to operate their jet systems. The Sovereign
®
and Prodigy
®
models
use the 1.65 HP Wavemaster
™
7000, while the Jetsetter
®
spa uses the 1.5 HP Wavemaster
™
5000. The SmartJet
®
lever is
used to operate the jet menus available in these models.
