IMPORTANT:
YOU MUST leave enough cable to
ensure it can reach to the furthest
point of the hot tub comfortable
from the isolator switch.
32 or 40 amp supply
1. Add 32 or 40 amp Type B Or C breaker
to the consumer unit (see image 1)
2. From the main consumer unit, run a 6mm, 3 Core
Armoured Cable to the Rotary Isolator Switch
(see image 2)
3. Rotary Isolator Switch should be 2-5m
from the hot tub (see image 3a)

an earth rod is needed or not
5. Another 6mm, 3 Core Armoured Cable must
be connected to the Rotary Isolator Switch with a
minimum of 10m worth of cable le in a loop. Our
delivery team are qualied to connect this cable to
the inside of the hot tub. However, they will NOT
hard-wire your hot tub to the mains supply
(see image 3b)
6. Your electrician should leave enough spare cable
aached to the isolator to reach the side panel
where the control panel is. More is beer than
not enough

electrician. This is to conrm that the electrical
work is in line with government regulaons. This

a swim spa) depending on which model you have purchased. Electrical requirements vary on
each model, please check specicaons on individual spas.

13 amp supply
Our 13 amp hot tubs do not come with a cable
or plug. These will need to be sourced and
supplied by you.
The hot tub needs to have its own circuit from
the main distribuon board, the supply should
not be shared.
Please arrange for an electrician to do the following
before the delivery day:
1. Install a 16 amp outdoor waterproof commando
socket with RCD protecon. Install an earth rod
(If required)
2. Provide a 2.5mm 3 Core Armoured Cable and
16amp commando plug with a minimum of 10m
worth of cable le in a loop. Our delivery team
are qualied to connect this cable to the inside
of the hot tub. However, they will NOT hardwire
your hot tub to the mains supply.
3. Ensure the outdoor socket is within 2-5m from
the hot tub.
4. Our 13amp hot tubs potenally could be installed
with a 13amp plug into a standard socket. This
would need to be a dedicated supply from your
main distribuon board and we recommend you
consult with your electrician to ensure this is
suitable. However our recommendaon is that
you install the 16amp commando socket to avoid
any future problems
IMPORTANT:
The relevant steps must be completed before we
deliver your hot tub. Failure to do so will mean that
we cannot install your hot tub.
For 13, 32 and 40 amp supply hot tubs we
recommend your electrician installs an earth rod to
ensure the earthing systems voltage is the same as
the ground you are standing on. This will prevent
the voltage traveling through you and any ngling.
