Electrical requirements vary on each model,
please check specicaons on individual spas.
All electrical connecons need to be done by a
cered electrician.
However, you must meet the following specicaon:
• The hot tub should be appropriately protected by
a suciently rated MCB (main circuit breaker) and
should cover the maximum amperage pull of the
hot tub. A hot tub that has a maximum current
draw of 30 amps should be ed with a 32amp
MBC. The serge current of the pumps (i.e. the
rush of current when pumps are rst turned on)
can play a factor within the electrical install. Some
installaons may require a type c MCB, but this will
be decided by your electrician.
• Your hot tub should be protected against earth
faults also, by an RCD (residual current device).
This is a trip switch which works to prevent
the danger of electric shocks from damaged or
waterlogged cables and connecons. A suitable
rated 30Ma RCD is what is recommended.
• Any outdoor cabling should be suitably protected
from damage by either laying protecve ducng (pc
pipe) below ground or by using a SWA (steel wired
armoured) cable. Your electrician will calculate the
size of cable required dependent upon loading and
the distance from the mains supply.
Emergency/service work
An IP65 Rotary Isolator switch is recommended for
the hot tub to be isolated outdoors in an emergency
or for service work. This is simply a rotary on/o
switch that should be sited more than 2m away from
the hot tub so that individuals cannot be in the hot
tub whilst touching the switch.
PLEASE NOTE:
Your electrician should leave at least 10m of
spare cable aached to the isolator to reach
the side panel where the control panel is. The
delivery team are qualied to connect this
cable to the inside of the hot tub however
they will NOT hardwire your hot tub to the
isolaon switch.
If you are in any doubt at all about the
required electrical guidelines you should
seek professional advice from a fully
qualied electrician.
