NOTE: The product model number is printed on a label on the pump side of the whirlpool bath. This
label also identifies the electrical rating of the product. All whirlpools come equipped with a wiring
junction box and are designed to operate between 220 VAC and 240 VAC at either 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. Make sure the power has been disconnected before
performing the following procedures. Refer to the "Important Information" section.
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, connect the pump to a
properly grounded Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual Current Device (RCD). This
will provide additional protection against line-to-ground shock hazard. A 220-240 V, 15 A, 50/60 Hz
dedicated circuit is required.
NOTICE: The load neutral is not used. There should be no connection to the load neutral terminal on the
Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual Current Device (RCD). The green wire with the
yellow stripe is the equipment ground and needs to be connected to the neutral bus in the main circuit
breaker box.
NOTICE: The bath control and system have been pre-wired at the factory. A qualified electrician should
make a routine service connection to the junction box.
Connect service to the control power junction box. The junction box contains blue, brown, and green
with a yellow stripe colored wires. Follow local electrical codes. Bond in accordance with national
and local codes.
NOTE: A wiring harness has been pre-wired at the factory. No additional wiring is required, but ensure
that all wires are securely fastened.
NOTE: Your wiring harness includes an antenna for the optional remote control. Do not alter or damage
this antenna during installation.
