115/230 VOLT CONVERTIBLE MODEL
(BOLT
®
MODEL)
This model 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.
115 VOLT GFCI
The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is a safety device that is designed to detect as little as 5 milliamps
(±1mA) of electrical current leakage to ground. Watkins Manufacturing Corporation recommends that the GFCI be
tested prior to each use to ensure it is functioning correctly. With the spa connected to the
power supply, push the "Test" button. The spa should stop operating and the GFCI power
indicator will go out.
Wait 30 seconds and then reset the GFCI by pushing the Reset button. The GFCI power
indicator will turn on, restoring power to the spa. If the interrupter does not perform in this
manner, it is an indication of an electrical malfunction and the possibility of an electric shock.
Disconnect the plug from the receptacle until the fault has been identified and corrected.
IMPORTANT: Failure to wait 30 seconds before resetting the GFCI may cause the spa’s
Power indicator (on the control panel) to blink. If this occurs, repeat the GFCI test procedure.
Never use the GFCI as a means to disconnect power to the spa (always unplug it). If the
GFCI is tripped while the spa is plugged in, and a power outage occurs, when power returns
the GFCI will automatically reset and power will flow to the spa.
115 VOLT OPERATION (60Hz ONLY)
The spa must be connected to a dedicated 115 volt, 20 amp, GFCI protected, grounded circuit. The term “dedicated”
means the electrical circuit is not being used or shared for any other electrical items (patio lights, appliances,

IMPORTANT! The exact physical location of the terminals on the GFCI
breaker will vary between manufacturers. Connecting the hot wire to the
neutral terminal will cause irreversible damage to the control box.
