Electrical Requirements - Marquis E-series Owner's Manual

Safety guard of
suction fitting must
remain in place.
SUCTION GUARDS
The suction guard(s) in the footwell of your spa is an
opening through which the jet pump(s) draws water.
The suction fittings have an integrated vacuum re-
lease built into them. In the event that a suction fitting
gets blocked, air will be induced causing the pump
to cavitate and the water flow interrupted. Once the
blockage is removed, normal operation will resume.
Suction fittings are equipped with a safety guard.
Suction through the fittings can be strong. The safety
guard(s) must remain in place and undamaged. A
fitting with a damaged guard(s) can be dangerous,
especially to small children or people with long hair.
Should any part of the body become drawn to a fit-
ting, turn the jet pump(s) off immediately. Long hair
should be restrained. Never allow long hair to float
freely in the spa. Replace any missing or damaged
suction guard(s).
NOTE: It is normal for the flow rates of the suction fit-
tings to vary from strong to barely noticeable.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
It is the responsibility of the spa owner to ensure that
all electrical connections are made by a qualified
electrician in accordance with all national, state, and
local electrical codes in effect at the time of installa-
tion. Fuses are covered to be free of defect at time of
installation only.

wiring diagram found on the inside of the control box
cover. Connections must be made with copper con-
ductors only – do NOT use aluminum wire. All conduc-
tors, circuit breakers, and fuses and the GFCI must
be sized in accordance to the total amperage load as
specified below.
Improperly wired spas can cause irreversible damage
resulting in blown fuse and melted terminal block, and
to other electrical components. Also, damage caused
to components or equipment caused by high or low
voltage, brown outs or electric surges is not covered
