ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
To ensure you will have an opportunity to use your spa soon after delivery, it is very important that the required
electrical service has been installed. Unless otherwise stipulated by your dealer, THIS IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
IMPORTANT: All electrical circuits must be installed by a qualified, licensed electrician.
230 VOLT OPERATION REQUIREMENTS
230 volt models require a 50 or 70 amp, single phase, 230 volt circuit breaker in the main electrical service panel.
All 230 volt Hot Spring
®
spas must be wired in accordance with applicable local and national electrical codes, all
electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician.
NOTE: Watkins Manufacturing Corporation RE QUIRES THE USE OF A SUBPANEL TO SUPPLY POWER AND
PROTECT THE SPA. On the Gleam
™
, Pulse
®
, Flair
®
and Glow
®
models, the 50 amp subpanel containing GFCI
breakers is included with the spa. On the converted 230 volt Gleam and Bolt
®
models, the subpanel containing GFCI
breakers must be purchased separately and can be purchased from your Hot Spring dealer.
A licensed electrician should install a four-wire electrical service (two line voltages, one neutral, one ground) from the
main electrical service panel to the subpanel, and from the sub-panel to the spa per the appropriate wiring diagram
as illustrated below.
The grounding conductor must be at least #10 AWG. Your electrician should mount the subpanel in the vicinity of the
spa but it should not be closer than five (5) feet from the spa water edge (NEC 680-38 to 41-A-3).
INSTALLATION NOTE: After the spa has been installed by the dealer’s delivery crew, your electrician can connect
the conduit from the subpanel to the spa’s IQ 2020
®
Control Box and then complete the wiring connections in the
control box.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Three different wiring diagrams are shown: one Gleam, Pulse, Flair and Glow models 50 amp,
one Gleam 70 amp and one for a Bolt 50 amp model. Always follow the wiring diagram for your specific model.
NOTE: Complete step-by-step Installation and Wiring Instructions for all 230 volt Hot Spring models are included in
the Owner’s Manual and with each sub-panel, which can be obtained from your dealer.
WIRE SPECIFICATION NOTE: Long electrical runs may require a larger gauge feed wire than stated. We
recommend that a maximum voltage drop of 3% be used when calculating the larger wire size.
Refer to the Wiring Diagrams below for the electrical requirements of the 230 volt Pluse, Flair and Glow models.
