Electrical Information
Caution: Risk of electrical shock.
Read and follow all instructions.
Important Safety Instructions
All electrical connections to this spa package
MUST be accomplished by a qualified licensed
electrician in accordance with the National
Electrical Code (NEC) and with state/local
electrical codes in effect at the time of installation.
To make spa electrical connections, remove the
exterior equipment access panel, locate the electrical
control box, remove the control box cover and follow
the wiring diagram on the inside of the control box
cover.
Connections should be made using copper
conductors
only.
Connecting wires, circuit breakers,
or fuses must all be sized to accommodate the Total
Ampere load as specified on the equipment label.
This equipment is designed to operate on
60Hz alternating current only, at 240 volts.
NOTE:
All unions must be hand-tight and all
slice valves must be locked in the
OPEN
position
before filling or refilling spa! A clip is provided to
help keep the slice valve open. Run spa and check for
union water leaks before reinstalling front panel.
Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter
A qualified licensed electrician shall connect
the spa to a circuit protected by a GFCI. This is a
requirement by the National Electric Code, article 680-
42, and is also in compliance with Underwriter’s
Laboratories, Inc.
Installation Options
Knockouts are provided in the cabinet base to
bring the conduit to the equipment compartment. If an
alternate electrical service entrance is
desired, an
additional hole may need to be drilled.
Certain models might be built for a 120 volts
connection only. All other models can only be
connected to a 240 volts electrical service.
120 Volt Installation
Electrical Requirments :
•120 Volts, 60 Hz, Single Phase, 40 amp. or 20 amp,
3-wires service, (incliding ground.)
Note: The heater can be activated only
with the
pump on low speed. Only the spa light can be
operating at the same time without disabling the
heater. See your authorized dealer to select this
option.
Elite Spas installed for 240 volt operation require
a 3-wire, 40 amp., 120 volt sub-feed in non-metallic
pipe to the spa equipment compartment (line 1,
neutral, and ground).
All connections must be done accordingly to the
CSA International regulation (Canadian Standard
Administration).
A green colored terminal (or wire connector
marked “G”, or “GR”, “Grounding”) is provided in the
control box. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
connect this terminal or connector to the grounding
terminal of your electrical service or supply panel with
a continuous green insulated copper wire equivalent to
the circuit conductor supplying this equipment, but no
smaller than No. 12 AWG. In addition, a second
pressure wire connector is provided on the surface of
the control box for bonding to local ground points. To
reduce the risk of electrical shock, this connector
should be bonded with a No. 6 AWG copper wire to
any metal ladders, water pipes, or any metal within 5
feet of the spa.
• Copper wire is recommended for all electrical
connections.
