5.0 General Electrical Safety Instructions
Your new Jacuzzi® spa is equipped with a “state-of-the-art” equipment system.
It contains the most advanced safety and self-protective equipment in the indus-
try. Nonetheless, this spa must be installed properly to insure dependable usage.
Please contact your dealer or local building department should you have any
questions regarding your installation.
Proper grounding is extremely important. Jacuzzi spas are equipped with a
current collector system. A pressure wire connector is provided on the surface
of the control box, located outside the equipment door (Figure B, page 14) to
permit connection of a bonding wire between this point and any ground metal
equipment, metal water pipe or conduit within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa, or cop-
per clad grounding rod buried within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa. Bonding wire
must be at least No. 8 AWG (8.4mm²) solid copper wire. This is a most impor-
tant safety assurance feature. Before installing this spa, check with the local
building department to insure installation conforms to local building codes.
120/240 Volt Convertible Models
A spa connected to a 120VAC electrical service must be located close enough to
a grounded, grounding-type electrical outlet so that the included 10 foot (3m)
power cord can be plugged directly into it. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION
CORD as this could cause damage to the spa’s equipment due to insufficient
voltage. The power supplied to this spa must be a dedicated circuit with no
other appliances or lights sharing the power provided by the circuit.
