To Keep Warranty valid
Verify the power supplied to the spa is on a dedicated circuit with no other appliances or
❐
lights sharing the power.
Verify the electrician has completed the tasks listed below before the spa is delivered. If
❐
necessary, find the information requested by looking in the Power Configuration tables.
Task
Tasks for the electrician
?
Complete
Select the wire size based on NEC and/or local codes.
❍
Determine the length of wire that is needed between the breaker box
❍
and the spa based on the wire size and the maximum current draw.
Acquire enough copper wire with THHN insulation to ensure
❍
adequate connections. Do not use aluminum wire.
To comply with Section 422-20 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, the
❐
electrical supply for the spa must include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to
open all ungrounded supply conductors. The means to disconnect the electricity must
be readily accessible to the spa's occupant, but installed at least 5 ft. (1.5m) from the
spa water. Check with local municipalities for additional code requirements.
As required by NEC Article 680-42, the electrical circuit for the spa must include a
❐
suitable ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). We recommend Square-D or Cutler
Hammer GFCI breakers. The appropriate wiring configuration for your spa appear
elsewhere in this document.
Check the tables on the next few pages to match your hot tub model with one of the power
configuration options.
Continued
The manufacturer's warranty becomes void if the spa's electrical
connections do not meet the specifications as stated in this
document.
Note
If you use wire larger than #6 (10 mm²), add a
junction box near the spa, and reduce the wire
to short lengths of #6 (10 mm²) wire between the
junction box and the spa.
